Once upon a time, there was a king and a queen who had no children, and they were very sad and distressed about it. One day, the queen was walking by the river, and a little fish raised its head out of the water and said to her: "Your wish will come true. Soon you will have a baby."
She will give birth to a daughter." After a while, what the little fish predicted came true, and the queen really gave birth to a very beautiful daughter. The king was so happy that he couldn't put it down and decided to hold a ceremony.
A large banquet. He not only invited his relatives, friends and foreign guests, but also almost all the witches and wizards, asking them to send kind and beautiful wishes to his daughter. There were a total of thirteen witches and wizards in his kingdom,
And he only had twelve gold plates to entertain them, so he only invited twelve witches and left one uninvited.
After the grand banquet, all the guests gave the little princess the best gifts. One of the witches and wizards gave her virtue, another gave her beauty, and another gave her wealth. They gave her all the wishes of the world.
, all the advantages and expectations in the world were given to her. Just after the eleventh witch blessed her, the thirteenth witch, the one who was not invited, walked in, and she said
She was very angry at not being invited, and she wanted to take revenge on her by offering her vicious spell. So she came in and cried out: "The king's daughter will be wounded by a spindle when she is fifteen years old, and she will die."
Everyone present was shocked. But before the twelfth witch presented her gift, she stepped forward and said: "This dangerous spell will indeed come true, but the princess can save the day. She will not die, but
He just fell asleep, and he slept for a hundred years."
In order to prevent his daughter from suffering that misfortune, the king ordered all the spindles in the kingdom to be collected and destroyed. As time passed, all the blessings of the witches came true on the princess: she
She was smart and beautiful, with a gentle personality and elegant manners. She was really loved by everyone. But on the day when she was fifteen years old, the king and the queen were not at home, and the princess was left alone in the palace. She walked around the palace
She walked through and looked at all the large and small rooms. Finally, she came to an ancient palace. There was a very narrow staircase inside the palace. There was a door at the end of the staircase with a golden key inserted in the door. When she turned the golden key
At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and an old woman was sitting inside, busy spinning. The princess saw her and said, "Hey! Hello, old mother! What are you doing?" "Spinning," the old woman replied.
Said, and then nodded. "This little thing is so interesting to spin!" After saying that, the princess stepped forward and wanted to pick up the spindle to spin, but as soon as she touched it, she immediately fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
The mantra really came true.
However, she did not die, but fell there and fell into a deep sleep. The king and queen came back at this moment, and they fell asleep too just as they entered the hall; the horses in the stables, the dogs in the yard, the dogs on the roof
The pigeons and the flies on the wall also fell asleep; even the fire in the stove stopped burning and fell asleep; the meat on the barbecue stopped exploding; the cook was grabbing the hair of a child laborer who had done something wrong and trying to kill him.
She slapped him and told him to get out, and the two of them fell asleep there. Everything stopped moving, and they all fell into a deep sleep.
Soon, a large hedge of thorns grew around the palace. Year after year, they grew taller and thicker. Finally, they covered the entire palace, even the roof and chimneys were visible.
Gone.
As a result, a legend spread about this kingdom, the legend of a beautiful sleeping Rose Princess. The Rose Princess that people call is actually the daughter of the king. Since then, many princes have come to explore, and they have overcome all obstacles to cross the border.
They tried to cross the hedge to get to the palace, but they all failed. They were either entangled in thistles or fell into the bushes, as if countless hands were holding them tightly and unable to escape, and they all died painfully in the end.
Many, many years passed, and one day, another prince set foot on this land. An old man told him the story of the thorn bush, saying that there was a beautiful palace inside the hedge, and in the palace there was a fairy-like girl.
The princess, her name was Princess Rose, and she and the whole palace and everyone in it were asleep. He also said that he had heard his grandfather talk about how many princes came here and they all wanted to get through the hedge.
, but they were all entangled and died. After hearing this, the prince said: "None of this scares me, I want to see Princess Rose!" The old man advised him not to try, but he insisted on going.
On this day, a hundred years have passed, so when the prince came to the hedge, all he saw were shrubs with beautiful flowers in full bloom. He passed through the hedge easily. As he walked in front,
The hedges closed tightly behind him. Finally, he arrived at the palace and saw the dogs lying there sleeping in the courtyard, the horses sleeping in the stables, and the pigeons on the roof sleeping with their heads under their wings. He walked into the palace,
I saw flies sleeping on the wall, the chef in the kitchen raised his hand as if to slap the child worker, and a maid held a black hen in her hand and was about to pluck its feathers.
He continued to search inside, everything was surprisingly quiet, and even his own breathing could be heard clearly. Finally, he came to the ancient palace and opened the door of the small room where Princess Rose was. Princess Rose was sleeping soundly.
, she was so beautiful and moving, his eyes widened and he couldn't bear to blink. He looked at it and couldn't help but leaned down and kissed her. With this kiss, Miss Rose suddenly woke up, she opened her eyes,
Smiling and looking at him affectionately, the prince hugged her and walked out of the palace together.
At this moment, the king and queen also woke up, and everyone in the palace woke up. They stared at each other with great curiosity, as if they still didn't understand what happened. The horse stood up and swayed.
; The dogs jumped and barked happily; the doves raised their heads from under their wings, looked around, and fluttered their wings to fly to the fields; the flies on the wall buzzed away; the fire in the kitchen started to flame again.
The cooking started, and the barbecued meat squeaked again; the chef roared and slapped the child worker; the maid continued to pluck the chickens, and everything returned to its previous appearance. Soon, the prince and Princess Rose held a grand wedding ceremony.
