Once upon a time there lived a King and Queen. It was a happy day because they were celebrating their daughter's first birthday. All the good fairies were invited to the party. Each fairy presented a gift to the princess and wished the princess happiness, beauty and love.
Suddenly, the room was filled with black smoke. In walked a mean and angry fairy because she was not invited to the party.
"I am going tocast a spell on the princess. She will prick herself on a needle and die!" shouted the angry fairy.
The Queen was very upset. When the angry fairy had left, one of the good fairies changed
the spell. "She will prick her finger and fall asleep and she will wake up if she is kissed by a prince," said the good fairy.
The Kingimmediately got rid of all the needles in the country. The beautiful princess lived a happy life. On her eighteenth birthday, she found a hidden door in the castle. She opened it up and found an old lady sewing.
"That looks like fun. What are you doing?" asked the princess. She had never seen anyone sew before because the King did not allow people to have needles.
"I am sewing a dress. Would you like to try?" asked the old lady.
The princess took the needle in her hand and she pricked herself. At that moment, the entire castle - including the animals - fell asleep.
The King, the Queen, the princess and everyone in the castle slept for one hundred years. During that time, overgrown trees and weeds hid the castle.
One day a prince was lost and he saw the thick woods. He used his sword to cut through the trees and weed. The prince was surprised to discover that there was a castle in the middle of the woods.
The prince opened the door and found everyone asleep. He walked around the castle and saw the sleeping princess. She was the most beautiful princess he had ever seen.
The prince held her hand and kissed it softly. At that moment the princess and the rest of the castle woke up. The princess said, "You have been in my dreams for one hundred years. I am glad you came today."
The princess brought the prince to her parents and they were soon married. The prince and the princess lived happily ever after.
