The Sleeping Beauty

A long time ago, in a distant country, there lived a king and his gracious queen. For

many years they had been expecting a child, and finally the

their wish was granted. A little girl was born whom they named Aurora,

because it filled their life with sunshine. To celebrate his birth, they gave

a great party: at the invitation of the king, knights and ladies, citizens and

peasants, all dressed in the best clothes and carrying gifts, went to

palace to see the baby girl and wish her good wishes. The party was in full swing

when, gliding along a ray of sunshine that penetrated the great hall,

the tiny figures of three good fairies appeared. Shaking the

magic wands, swirled over the exhibited gifts, then yes

they approached the cradle to offer their gifts to Princess Aurora. "Little princess, my gift

it will be beauty, "Flora said, her wand sprinkling sparks of fairy dust." Baby

princess, my gift will be a very sweet voice "said Fauna. But just as the third fairy,

Serena was about to offer the child her gift of happiness, a gust of wind threw open the doors of the

Castle.

There was a blinding flash and Maleficent the evil witch appeared in the middle of the room, furious for not

having been invited to the celebrations. In the general silence, he raised his arms and announced: "I will too

a gift to the little girl. Princess Aurora will grow in grace and beauty, loved by all who have her

they know. But before the sun goes down on his sixteenth birthday, he'll prick his finger with

the spindle of a spinning wheel ... and she will die! "The poor queen took her baby from the cradle and hugged her tightly,

as if to protect her from the terrible words of the witch. The guards surrounded Maleficent and the

they aimed at the spears, but with her powerful magic she surrounded herself with flames and disappeared in one

cloud of smoke.

Serena, who had not yet offered her gift, quickly waved her wand over the baby

saying: "King and queen do not despair! Although I do not have the power to undo this terrible one

damn, I can help. "Then, as the wand created magical patterns in the air, he said:

"Sweet princess, a spindle will prick your finger, but you will not die; you will fall asleep and sleep until

when you will not receive the first kiss of love! "The King, still frightened for the life of his daughter, ordered

that on the same day all the spindles and spinning wheels of the realm would be burned. A large was prepared

bonfire in the courtyard, and all the spinning wheels were destroyed. The three fairies weren't sure this was

enough to protect the princess, so they persuaded the king and queen to allow them to

hide the little one: they would take her to live in the middle of the forest and they would all

disguised as country seamstresses. And so for sixteen long years, the princess grew hidden in one
woodcutter's hut, having as companions the birds and creatures of the wood. In all of this

time, Maleficent tried to find the girl, but in vain, because the fairies kept hers well hidden

movements. They lived as mere mortals, and never used magic for fear that if they did

done, Maleficent could have discovered them by the glow it emanated. Together they dedicated themselves to

small tailoring jobs, they sewed and made clothes for the inhabitants of the nearby village.

On the day of the princess's sixteenth birthday, Flora, Fauna and Serena wanted to surprise her

of a cake and a new dress. They sent her to pick berries in the woods, then set off on the

wands, "Serena said disheartened." You know, I think you're right, "Fauna echoed.

they projected rays of colored magic all over the room, and soon turned the cake into a

pastry masterpiece.

Unfortunately, the colored sparks went up the chimney above the hut. Maleficent's crow, who

he was hunting for the princess, saw the magical traces and flew to his mistress to tell her that he had

finally discovered the hiding place of the fairies.

There Maleficent entered transformed into a smoke ring, performed a spell on the

girl and led her into a secret room where there was a spinning wheel,

the only one left in the whole country. "What will it ever be?" Aurora said. She then she heard one

voice ordering: "Touch the spindle!" Aurora reached out to the spindle and stung herself

the finger. She immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

The three fairies found her lying on the floor and carried her to the most beautiful apartment in the palace. The

three good fairies decided to put everyone in the palace to sleep and sprinkled sleep dust.

Many years passed and the castle and its inhabitants still slept

deeply, but one fine day a prince arrived in front of the castle, made his

way through the dense vegetation that had now become

very high and reached the spot where Princess Aurora lay.

As soon as he saw her he fell in love with her, so he kissed her gently and

princess woke up, smiled at the prince and the whole room lit up. At that moment the whole court did
