The Sleeping Beauty
In a palace many years ago, the most beautiful princess was born to king and queen.
They named her Rosamond and gave a party during her baptism. All the wise women were
invited except the thirteenth wise woman.
On the day of the party, the thirteenth wise woman came. She was so angry for she did
not have a golden plate. She left the palace hurriedly and said, “Rosamond will not die of
hurting her finger with a spindle but she will sleep for a hundred years instead.”
The king ordered his servants to burn all the spindles in the palace.
Rosamond grew up and become the loveliest princess in the kingdom. On her fifteenth
birthday, she went around the palace. She entered in one of the rooms and saw a woman
with spindle. She borrowed the spindle and was wounded. Immediately, she fell into a deep
sleep. All the people in the kingdom went asleep, too, including the animals.
After a hundred years, a handsome young prince came to the palace. He was surprised
of the thick vines that covered the palace. He went inside and saw the lovely sleeping
princess. For him, she was the most beautiful princess he ever saw. He fell in love with an
instant. He knelt down and kissed her.
The princess woke up. All the people and animals woke up, too.
