There was once a magic kingdom with a King and Queen who wished for a child. They had a daughter, Princess Rose, and held a ball to celebrate. All the good fairies in attendance blessed Rose with gifts, but the final fairy had not been invited. She cursed Rose to prick her finger and die on her 16th birthday. Another fairy softened the curse so that Rose would instead fall into a deep sleep for 100 years. On her 16th birthday, Rose pricked her finger and fell asleep along with the entire kingdom for 100 years. A brave prince eventually found and woke Rose with true love's kiss, and they married, breaking the curse and living happily ever after.

2. There was a magic kingdom, once
up a time.
The King and the Queen were very
happy and life was very fine.
Their palace had big gardens with
pretty flowers and trees, and lakes
and streams and rivers and
butterflies and bees !

3. “My dear, we´re very lucky. We
both have everything!”
“Our life is not so perfect ; we
need just one more thing. We
need a little baby…”
“… to be a king one day!
“ Perhaps a little daughter to
sing and dance and play!”

4. Before the year was
over, their only dream came
true.
“As pretty as a flower! Rose
is the name for you!”
“Our daughter`s very special.
Let`s have a palace ball!”
“ Tell everyone to come here.
We must invite them all!

5. “Please go into the forest –
invite the fairies , too.
They`re very wise and clever
and what they wish comes
true.”
“ They sent invitations to
almost everyone, but
they forgot one fairy.
They didn`t send me
one!.”

6. The ball was in the evening. The
stars were shining bright.
The fairies all arrived there.”Oh
, what a pretty sight!” “She looks
like a flower!””So beautiful and
small!”
“I thank you all for coming and
welcome to the ball!”

7. “These gifts are for the baby.””The
gift is wealth”
“And mine´s the gift of beauty.” “And
my gift is good healthy!” Your gifts
are really special!” “There´re perfect
for a child!” “Please wait! There´s
one more present!”
The last good fairy smiled.

8. But then they
all heard
screaming and
every body
froze.
“How dare you
all forget me !!!
Here is my gift
for Rose! Dear
Rose´s
sixteenth
birthday will be
a time to cry! A
little wooden
spindle will
prick her – and
she´ll die!”

9. “The princess
will not die!
She`ll sleep a
hundred
years.”
My
dear, please
do not worry.
This isn`t
over yet!
Burn all the
wooden
spindles ; you
must search
all the land

10. “The princess looks
so lovely!” “Today
she`s sixteen!” “Oh
everybody`s busy I`ll
look around the
palace!” High up
inside the tower she
found an open door.
Inside is a old
woman who looked
old and poor.

11. “Come in,dear child ,come
close; and hold the
spindle,here” “Oh no! I`ve
picked my finger!
I feel so sleepy… I`ll lie
here on this bed.”
Exactly at the moment the
fairy`s words came true.
The princess started
sleeping – and all the
palace too.A net of thorns
appeared then, around
the palace wall. Nobody
could get through it;it was
so thick and tall.

12. A hundred years later ,a brave
young Prince came by. “I`ll save
the Sleeping Beauty.”
The Prince went up the tower
and found the open door. “So
here`s the Sleeping Beauty!
That must be her, I`m sure. She
looks so sweet and pretty –
asleep in here like this.”

13. And then he woke the
Princess, with just
one magic kiss.
“A Prince! Am I still
dreaming?”
“No,Princess , you`re
awake! You slept a
hundred years,dear!”
“There must be some
mistake!”
“So will you marry
me, my Rose? Please
say you`ll wear this
ring!”

14. And so our Sleeping
Beauty the sweetest
bride of all was
married to Prince
Charming and had a
royal ball. And in the
magic kingdom , the
Prince and his
Princess spent all
their days together
with love and
happiness.
