Sleeping Beauty

Once upon a time in a grand kingdom, there was a joyous celebration for the birth of a beautiful princess. The king and queen invited everyone, including fairies who granted the baby princess special gifts. However, one wicked fairy felt slighted and cursed the baby to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into a deep sleep when she turned 16.

The other kind fairies couldn't undo the curse but lessened its impact. Instead of death, the princess would fall into a deep slumber. On her 16th birthday, the curse came true when the princess pricked her finger on a spindle and fell asleep. The entire kingdom fell into slumber with her.

Over time, a thorny forest grew around the castle, hiding it from the world. Many brave princes tried to reach the sleeping princess but failed. Finally, a handsome prince found the castle, kissed the princess, and broke the spell. The princess and the entire kingdom awoke from their long sleep.

The princess and the prince fell in love, and their love brought happiness to the kingdom. The wicked fairy's curse was no match for true love's power. They lived happily ever after.

The story of Sleeping Beauty reminds us that love can break even the most powerful curses and that goodness prevails in the end.
