Long ago there lived a King and Queen who said every day, "If only we had a child!"  But for a long time, they had none. 

One day, as the Queen was bathing in a spring and dreaming of a child, a ghost showed up and said to her, "Buuuh! Your wish shall be fulfilled."

 The King prepared a great feast and invited all his friends, family, and neighbors. He invited the fairies, too, in order that they might be kind and good to the child. There were thirteen of them in his kingdom, but as the King only had twelve golden plates for them to eat from, one of the fairies had to be left out.  None of the guests was saddened by this as the thirteenth fairy was known to be cruel and spiteful.

An amazing feast was held and when it came to an end, each of the fairies presented the child with a magic gift. One fairy gave her independence, another beauty, a third riches, and so on -- with everything in the world that anyone could wish for.

After eleven of the fairies had presented their gifts, the thirteenth suddenly appeared. She was angry and wanted to show her spite for not having been invited to the feast. Without hesitation, she called out in a loud voice,

"When she is fifteen years old, the Princess shall prick herself with a spindle and shall fall dead!"

Then without another word, she turned and left the hall. 

The guests were horrified and the Queen fell to the floor sobbing, but the twelfth fairy, whose wish was still not spoken, quietly stepped forward.  Her magic could not remove the curse, but she could soften it so she said,

"Nay, Aurora shall not die, but instead shall fall into a deep sleep that will last one hundred years."

,,The Prince Phillip is buried here"

Over the years, the promises of the fairies came true -- one by one.  The Princess grew to be a beautiful, independent, strong, and clever woman. Everyone who saw her could not help but love her. But there was one young prince who fell madly in love with her. He proposed to her, but she didn’t want to get married so soon. He was devastated, so he took his horse and rode to the forest. In the forest, the bad fairy waited for him. She wanted to kill him, so he couldn’t save Aurora. She cast a spell on him, and he died horribly. She buried him in the ground, and put a gravestone that says,, Prince Phillip is buried here”.  

On the morning of Aurora's fifteenth birthday, she awoke early - excited to be another year older. The Princess decided to go for a walk in the forest. She was walking and walking, soon she saw a gravestone. She was terrified and shocked. Princess looked at the gravestone and read the sign. She felt bad because she thought that the prince got killed because of her. 

,, The Prince Phillip is buried here"

Princess wanted to find the killer. She wandered about the whole place, looking for the traces, but she couldn’t find any. She looked above the trees and saw a big tower and decided to search for the killer there.

She took the spindle and tried to spin too.

But she had scarcely touched the spindle when it pricked her finger.

In a little room sat an old woman with a spindle, busily spinning her flax.

Good morning, said Aurora, "what are you doing?"

I am spinning, said the old woman.

"What is the thing that whirls round so merrily?" asked the Princess. 

At that moment she fell, and the old lady turned into the evil fairy and said: “I killed your lover and now I’m gonna kill YOU!”. When Aurora heard that the fairy was the one who killed the prince, blood boiled in her veins. 

She gathered herself up and punched the evil fairy in the face. The fairy wanted to cast a spell on her, but her power was weakened. The princess was kicking her until she passed out.

 Aurora left her in the tower and ran back to the castle. She told everything to her parents. They were terrified, but they were proud of their daughter. 

She heard a knock on a door and ran to open it. When she opened the door she saw her lover Phillip. They kissed and he proposed once again, but this time she said yes. Aurora asked him what happened. He explained to her that it was his twin brother who died. He wasn’t sad, because his brother was on the side of the evil fairy. She used him to scare  Aurora. After a month she and Phillip were married.

And they lived happily           ever after.
