Sleeping beauty

A long time ago there lived a King and The Queen. They wish for a child for a very long time. After a long long wait their wish came true,
a beautiful girl was born to the king and queen. The king announce to his people: “We are blessed with a baby princess and her name is
Sunshine” “Hurray” said the people. As the baby girl turned one, celebration begin all around. A big party had to be planned.

“We must invite all the fairies”

“Yes! We must call them all, but not the Black Fairy. She is mean! She is bad!”

The party was a lots of fun! The baby princess looked lovely. All fairies brought with them some precious gifts and blessed the little
princess to be a clever and kind girl.

Suddenly the castle was filled with blue smoke and nobody could see anything. As soon as the blue smoke settled, king and the queen
were shocked to see the Black Fairy. She saw that a beautiful celebration was organized, and everyone from the kingdom was invited for
the feast, including all fairies. She became very angry for not being invited, and that’s why she cursed the baby princess.

“On your 16th birthday before the sun sets, you’ll prick on a spindle and die”. She screamed in anger and vanished.

Everybody was shocked. Suddenly a young fairy who had not yet given her blessings to the little princess said.

“I can’t take away the Black fairy’s curse but I’ll defiantly try to help. When the princess pricks herself, she won’t die. Instead, she’ll go into
a deep sleep and shall only awaken with a kiss from a prince who loves her”.

After this, the king ordered to destroy all spindles and needles from the kingdom. Soon, there were no sharp things in the castle. Except
for one, they didn’t check in the tower. As years passed by, the baby grew under supervision of fairies and turned out to be a very beautiful
young girl.

When she turned 16, while roaming in the castle one day she saw a magical light ball and followed the light ball which took her to the
top of the tower in the castle. Inside, there was and old woman, bent over a spinning wheel.

“Come here! You must try spinning this wheel.”

“Oh! What is this? Please let me do it as well. I have never tried this”.

But the minute she touched the needle of the spindle she fell to the ground. Black fairy’s curse had come true. Old woman who was
actually the black fairy laughed and laughed and then disappeared.

The king who remembered the words of last fairy made her daughter the princess to lie in a room for many years to come.

Fairies saw the princess sleeping and everyone thought that she was extremely beautiful. They all said at once: “Sleeping beauty”.

Soon, this name became popular in town and everyone started to mention princess as the sleeping beauty. The whole kingdom was sad,
fairies noticed this and decided: “Let the whole kingdom fall asleep so when the Princess wakes up by her prince she wouldn’t be alone”.

Everyone in the kingdom fell asleep. The king; the queen, the servants, solders, everyone in town fell asleep. Even all the animals fell
asleep. Everything in the kingdom stopped. Soon, a thick forest grew around the castle and hid it.

About hundreds of years later, a handsome prince was riding through the forest. He saw the strange looking castle. The accompanying
solders told the Prince that this is the castle of the “Sleeping beauty”. He had heard stories of sleeping beauty and started to explore it.

He was surprised to see everybody in the castle sleeping, when he entered more he saw even the King and Queen were sleeping.

He looked around and saw one big pink door. He tried to open the door, but it was difficult to open as it was closed for so many years.
After trying hard he managed to open the door and to his surprise he found sleeping beauty lying on a beautiful bed in that room. The
moment he saw her, he just fell in love with her.

“I really want to know who this beautiful girl is. She looks so so gentle and peaceful”, he said.

He leaned down and kissed her. Instantly, the kiss lifted the spell and the princess woke up. The King, Queen and all the people and
animals in the kingdom were awake again.

The kingdom was full of joy and there was celebrations all around. The prince and the princess soon got married and lived happily ever
after.
