The Sleeping Beauty of fairy tales

Once upon a time, there was a king, and he and the queen had never had children, and they were very distressed about it. One day the queen was walking by the river when a small fish popped out of the water and said to her, "Your wish is about to come true, and soon you will give birth to a daughter." "Soon after, the little fish's old prophecy was fulfilled, and the queen gave birth to a very beautiful daughter. The king danced with joy, and he decided to hold a celebratory feast, inviting not only relatives, friends, and foreign guests, but also almost all the witches in the kingdom to send their best wishes to his daughter. There were 13 witches in his kingdom, but he used only 12 gold plates to entertain guests, so he invited only 12 witches, and the remaining one was not invited.

After the feast, all the witches presented their own gifts to the little princess. One of the witches gave her virtue, another beauty, and another rich, and they gave the little princess all the good that people wanted to have. Just as the 12th sorceress was about to send her blessing, the uninvited sorceress suddenly walked in. She was furious that she had not been invited, and decided to take revenge on the king by offering a vicious spell. So as soon as he came in, he shouted, "The king's daughter will be injured by a spindle at the age of 15 and die." Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. However, the 12th witch had not yet offered her gift, only to see her come forward and calmly say, "This sinister spell will indeed be fulfilled, but please do not panic, the princess will not die, she will just pass out, and sleep for 100 years." ”

In order not to bring misfortune to his daughter, the king ordered all the spindles in the kingdom to be collected and destroyed. As the princess grew older, all the blessings of the witches were fulfilled in the princess: she was intelligent and beautiful, gentle in temperament, elegant in demeanor, and truly loved by everyone.

On the day the princess was 15 years old, neither the king nor the queen was at home, and the princess remained alone in the palace. She had nothing to do in the palace, so she walked around and walked around all the rooms. Finally, she came to an old palace building. There was a narrow staircase inside the palace building, and at the end of the staircase there was a door with a golden key inserted in the door, and the princess turned the golden key, and the door popped open at once, only to see an old woman sitting inside busy with something. The princess asked loudly, "Hey! Hello old mom! What are you doing? ”

"Spinning." The old woman replied.

"It's so much fun to turn this little thing around!" With that, the princess stepped forward and wanted to pick up the spindle spinning. But as soon as she touched the spindle, she immediately fainted and lost consciousness - the spell cast by the 13th witch was really fulfilled!

The princess wasn't actually dead, just a deep sleep. It was the return of the king and queen, and they had just entered the hall and suddenly fell asleep with them, and the horses in the stables, the dogs in the moon, the pigeons on the roof, the flies on the walls were also asleep; even the fire had stopped burning; the cook was now grabbing the hair of a wrong child laborer and wanting to give her a slap, and the two of them were set to sleep there. Everything was motionless, and a deep sleep went off.

Soon, the perimeter of the fallen kingdom was covered with a large fence surrounded by tribulus terrestris, and year after year, they grew taller and taller, longer and more luxuriant, and finally covered the entire palace, and even the roof and chimney could not be seen.

Thus, the legend of a beautiful princess who was sleeping slowly spread, and the princess that people said was actually the daughter of the king. Since then, many princes' families have come to explore, and they have tried to cross the hedges to the palace, but they have not succeeded. They were either entangled in tribulus or they were tripped by the bushes and it was difficult to get out. Eventually, they all died in pain.

And so many years passed. One day. Another prince set foot on the land. An old grandfather told him that there was a beautiful king worker in the hedge, and there was a beautiful princess in the king's palace, her name was Princess Rose, and she and the whole palace had been sleeping. There have been many princes who have come here, and they all want to cross the hedge into the palace, but they have not only failed, but they have all given their lives. Hearing this, the prince said, "All this does not frighten me, I must go and see the Rose Princess!" The old man advised him not to try, but he insisted on going.

Exactly 100 years have passed since the day the prince began to act. When the prince came to the hedge, all he saw was a shrub of beautiful flowers in full bloom, and he easily crossed the hedge. He walked in front, and the hedges in the back were closed tightly again. Finally, he reached the palace smoothly, only to see the dogs in the courtyard lying on the ground sleeping, the horses in the stables sleeping, and the pigeons on the roof burying their heads under their wings. He entered the palace and saw the cook in the kitchen raising his hand as if to slap the child laborer, and a maid clutching a black hen in her hand, ready to pluck the hair...

He continued to walk inside, and everything around him was surprisingly quiet, and even his own breathing could be heard. Finally, he came to the ancient palace building and pushed open the door of the small room. He walked in slowly and found a beautiful princess lying there, sleeping soundly, she was so beautiful and moving. His eyes widened and he looked stunned. Looking at it, he couldn't help but lean down and kiss her. Suddenly, Princess Rose suddenly awoke, she opened her eyes, smiled at the prince, and then the two of them walked out of the palace building together.

At this time, the king and queen also woke up, and all the people in the palace woke up. They look at me, I look at you, and it doesn't seem to understand what's going on. The horses stood up and shook their bodies; the dogs jumped in joy and barked; the pigeons raised their heads, looked around, flapped their wings and flew into the field; the flies on the walls buzzed and flew; the fire in the kitchen burst into flames again; the cook roared and slapped the child laborer; the maid continued to pluck the black hens... Everything is back to its former form.

Soon after, the prince and the princess rose held a grand wedding, and they lived happily together.
