Description
The royal couple wanted a child for a long time. Finally a frog prophesies the birth to the queen. Twelve fairies are brought to the feast to bless the girl, but a thirteenth is ignored because there is no gold plate left for her. She then bursts in and curses the girl to death by stabbing her with a spindle in the fifteenth year. But a fairy has not yet pronounced her blessing and mitigates the death to a hundred years' sleep. The king has all the spindles burnt. When she is fifteen, her parents are out, the girl finds an old woman spinning in a castle tower, reaches for the spindle, pricks herself and falls asleep. All the people and everything in the castle is asleep too, thick thorns grow all around. The princess is heard of as the Sleeping Beauty, but princes who seek her die miserably in the thorns. When a hundred years have passed, another prince hears of it, the thorns are flowers and let him in. Sleeping Beauty awakens from his kiss, all awake and celebrate the wedding.
