Re-Telling Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty...

In a land far far away, there lived a King and a Queen. They were so happy they held a feast for their beautiful baby daughter, Aurora. The entire kingdom was invited, family, friends and the fairies. Everybody was happily enjoying the feast, while the thirteenth fairy was sitting at home moaning. The fairies gathered around the precious daughter of the king and queen to give their blessings. Once it the eleventh fairy finished giving her gift to the gorgeous baby girl.

The the thirteenth fairy arrived she was raging with anger she asked to give her gift to the splendid daughter. Instead of giving a gift it was more like a curse. She said “On her fifteenth birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die”. The twelfth fairy said she had not giving her gift yet, she was their only hope. She was not strong enough to remove the curse but at least she could make it better her gift was of life, instead of dying the princess will fall asleep for a hundred years.

Soon the princess was grown up. In fact the princess had no clue that there was a curse. Her fifteenth birthday was not far in fact it was a day away. Once her birthday was finally here she wanted to explore the kingdom.

She found a tower where she had never been before. She walked up and up and finally she found a door which was unlocked, there was an old lady sitting there using the spindle. The princess had asked if she could use it. When she started a second later she had pricked her finger. She had fainted on the floor.

The old lady happens to be the 13th fairy. The 12th fairy soon figures out that the princess had gone to the tower. But she was too late the curse had begun. So she had used up her magic so that everyone will fall asleep with the princess, so when she wakes up everyone will be with her and she won't be lonely.

The only way the curse can be stopped is if she meets her true love. The 13th fairy does not want this to happen so she cast a spell so there is magical thorns around the castle. Many princes had heard about this and they came but none made it through the thorns. One day a prince in a far away kingdom hears about this and he comes to save her. He awakens her with a kiss. The rest of the kingdom woke up. A few months they got married and they lived happily ever after.
