Once upon a time,
there was a King and
Queen.
And when their baby
daughter was born they
were so happy they decided
to have a big party.
They invited all their
family, all their friends and
all the fairies in the land.
Now there were 13 fairies
altogether but the king but
queen only invited 12. They
forgot about the 13th. And
that was something they
should not have done.
Well, it was a splendid party! And when
everyone had finished eating, the fairies
gathered around the baby's cradle and they
each made a magic wish. The princess shall be
beautiful said the first. And happy, said the
second. And kind, said the third. And so they
went on. The princess was to be brave, and
clever and truthful. She was to have a sweet
singing voice and light dancing feet.
And, then, just as the twelfth fairy
was about to make her wish, in came
the thirteenth.Here is my wish, she
said. "When the princess is 16 years
old, she will prick her finger on a
spindle and she will die." And with
that, the thirteenth fairy vanished.
Then the 12th fairy said, "I cannot change all
of the wicked fairies powerful magic." So the
princess will prick her finger but she will not
die! She will sleep for a hundred years. The
king and queen thanked the fairy for her
kindness but they were not happy. They did not
want their daughter to sleep for a hundred
years. So they ordered that every spinning wheel
and spindle in the land must be chopped up and
burnt. Then they thought that the princess was
safe.
The years passed and the princess grew up. She
was very beautiful and clever at lots of
different things. She was, in fact, everything
the fairies had wished her to be.
On her sixteenth birthday, the princess was exploring
the castle when she came to a little room at the top
of a tall tower. And in that room was an old woman
sitting by a spinning wheel. "What are you doing?"
asked the princess?"
"I am spinning," said the old woman, who was really
the wicked thirteenth fairy, "would you like to try?"
"Oh yes," said the princess, and she sat down by the
spinning wheel. But as soon as she touched the
spindle, the sharp point pricked her finger and she
fell asleep.
And the old woman vanished.
