Princess Sleeping Beauty
A long long time ago a great feast was held in a far away kingdom. Friends
from all over the world came to celebrate the birth of the king's daughter.
The thirteen wise women of the kingdom were to be the guests of honor. But
as the queen had only twelve golden plates, she invited only twelve wise women.
So the thirteenth became very angry and put a curse on the king's daughter: on her
fteenth birthday she would prick herself with a spindle and fall downand die.
The king and queen were desperate and asked the other wise women to take the
curse off their daughter. The women shook their head saying: “We can not remove
the curse, but the princess shall not die but will fall into a deep sleep for a hundred
years.”
The king gave orders to burn every spinning wheel and every spindle in the whole
kingdom. The princess should never come close to any spindle. However, the day the
princess celebrated her fi fteenth birthday, she discovered an abandoned tower which
she had never seen before. Astounded she climbed up the tower.
In the top room appeared a disguised wicked woman sitting at the spinning
wheel, the spindle rattling round merrily. The princess had never before seen such
a thing and, driven by curiosity came closer. At the very moment she touched the
spindle she pricked her fi nger and the curse was fulfi lled.
The princess and the whole kingdom immediately fell into a deep sleep and the
palace was soon overgrown with thorny roses - which held so fast together that no
one could get through them. Since then the princess was called Sleeping Beauty.
Brave princes came from far afi eld to rescue the princess from the curse. But none
of them could get through the thick thorn-hedge. So, years passed by and the people
forgot about the princess and the spell-bound kingdom.
One hundred years later an old woman told a prince about Sleeping Beauty. As
the prince heard about her beauty he fell in love with her and set off to free the
princess. There he stood with all his courage, but helpless in front of the huge thorn-
hedge when as if by magic the thorns changed into fragrant roses. So he climbed up
the tower where he found Sleeping Beauty. When he saw her he could not withhold
himself and kissed her. As their lips touched she opened her eyes and with her the
whole kingdom woke up.
Sleeping Beauty fell in love with the prince and their marriage was celebrated with
great splendor, and they lived happily ever after.
