The story of Sleeping Beauty has also been adapted over the years, with many versions, but the earliest editions were collected and written by the Italian poet Gianmbattista Basile. Basile was actually the "Brothers Grimm" at that time, and he also wrote fairy tales.
The earliest sleeping beauty fairy tale was not called by this name, but by "Sun, Moon and Talia". There have been many variations of the story since it was first recorded, but the basic story is about a princess named Talia.
Talia was born into a powerful ruling family. The wise men of the kingdom prophesied that the girl would die from flax shattering. The king ordered his daughter not to go near linen or wear clothes made of linen, and in addition, he ordered that all linen in his palace be removed, all of which was not told to the princess.
As the girl grew up, she observed an old woman spinning a loom outside the window to weave linen, something Talia had never seen before. Then she went downstairs and persuaded the old woman to allow her to weave linen, at which point the fragments of linen fell on her nails, and she passed out.
Instead of burying Thalia, her father decorated her with her most expensive and beautiful clothes, then left her in a palace in the woods and sealed it there.
During a hunting trip, a king stumbles to the palace, and he wants to retrieve the falcon that flew in. After knocking on the door for a long time without answering, he climbed in through the window where the falcon flew.
So far, the story is basically the same as Disney's version of the story. Then something huge changed.
When the king entered the manor, he wandered around and found that the house was empty, and that there was nothing here but a beautiful young woman, and he went to the princess, and with all his best efforts he could not wake her up.
Because the princess was so beautiful, the king carried Thalia to the sofa, did something shameful, and put Thalia back on the bed when he was finished. Then he returned to his kingdom, and after a long time the king had forgotten about it.
afterward. Thalia is pregnant, and the fairy helps Thalia deliver the baby and has been responsible for taking care of the baby. (Where were the fairies when the king defiled the princess?) ）
Soon after, the king remembered the girl and decided to go to the palace again. This time, however, he found that she had woken up with twin babies by her side, who were called "sun" and "moon" because their birth was as mysterious to her as the sun and the moon.
The king explained to her how she was pregnant, the princess fell in love with him, she thought the king was her dream man, and the king was truly in love with the princess, and they lived happily ever after.
Before the story was over, the king was actually married, and his wife was suspicious of where he was going, because when he returned, he began to call out the names of Talia and the children in his sleep.
The queen felt that things were strange, and she learned the whole truth from the king's attendant, and she was furious and vowed revenge. She forged the king's orders and brought Talia's children to the palace, where she asked the cook to kill the two children and make their meat into a dish and offer it to the king.
The kind cook saved the two children and passed the game with a lamb. Unbeknownst to the queen, he even laughed out loud after the king had finished eating.
The queen then took Talia with her, and she ordered her men to light a fire in the courtyard and prepare to burn Talia alive.
Before his execution, Thalia asked to take off her costume, and the queen granted the request. So Talia took off her clothes and cried out to them about her misfortune.
The king heard Talia's voice, but the queen told the king that he had eaten his own son. The king was furious and ordered that the queen, the waiter, and the cook be thrown into the fire. However, the cook explained that he saved the two children and escaped the disaster.
So in the end, with the death of the queen, the king was finally free to marry the mistress he had raped.
