    "A long time ago there were a king and queen who said every day, ah, if only we had a child, but they never had one. But it happened that once when the queen was bathing, a frog crept out of the water on to the land, and said to her, your wish shall be fulfilled, before a year has gone by, you shall have a daughter.",
    "What the frog had said came true, and the queen had a little girl who was so pretty that the king could not contain himself for joy, and ordered a great feast. He invited not only his kindred, friends and acquaintances, but also the wise women, in order that they might be kind and well-disposed towards the child. There were thirteen of them in his kingdom, but, as he had only twelve golden plates for them to eat out of, one of them had to be left at home.",
    "The feast was held with all manner of splendor and when it came to an end the wise women bestowed their magic gifts upon the baby - one gave virtue, another beauty, a third riches, and so on with everything in the world that one can wish for.",
    "When eleven of them had made their promises, suddenly the thirteenth came in. She wished to avenge herself for not having been invited, and without greeting, or even looking at anyone, she cried with a loud voice, the king's daughter shall in her fifteenth year prick herself with a spindle, and fall down dead. And, without saying a word more, she turned round and left the room.",
    "They were all shocked, but the twelfth, whose good wish still remained unspoken, came forward, and as she could not undo the evil sentence, but only soften it, she said, it shall not be death, but a deep sleep of a hundred years, into which the princess shall fall.",
    "The king, who would fain keep his dear child from the misfortune, gave orders that every spindle in the whole kingdom should be burnt. Meanwhile the gifts of the wise women were plenteously fulfilled on the young girl, for she was so beautiful, modest, good-natured, and wise, that everyone who saw her was bound to love her.",
    "It happened that on the very day when she was fifteen years old, the king and queen were not at home, and the maiden was left in the palace quite alone. So she went round into all sorts of places, looked into rooms and bed-chambers just as she liked, and at last came to an old tower. She climbed up the narrow winding-staircase, and reached a little door. A rusty key was in the lock, and when she turned it the door sprang open, and there in a little room sat an old woman with a spindle, busily spinning her flax.",
    "Good day, old mother, said the king's daughter, what are you doing there. I am spinning, said the old woman, and nodded her head. What sort of thing is that, that rattles round so merrily, said the girl, and she took the spindle and wanted to spin too. But scarcely had she touched the spindle when the magic decree was fulfilled, and she pricked her finger with it.",
    "And, in the very moment when she felt the prick, she fell down upon the bed that stood there, and lay in a deep sleep. And this sleep extended over the whole palace, the king and queen who had just come home, and had entered the great hall, began to go to sleep, and the whole of the court with them. The horses, too, went to sleep in the stable, the dogs in the yard, the pigeons upon the roof, the flies on the wall, even the fire that was flaming on the hearth became quiet and slept, the roast meat left off frizzling, and the cook, who was just going to pull the hair of the scullery boy, because he had forgotten something, let him go, and went to sleep. And the wind fell, and on the trees before the castle not a leaf moved again.",
    "But round about the castle there began to grow a hedge of thorns, which every year became higher, and at last grew close up round the castle and all over it, so that there was nothing of it to be seen, not even the flag upon the roof. But the story of the beautiful sleeping briar-rose, for so the princess was named, went about the country, so that from time to time kings' sons came and tried to get through the thorny hedge into the castle.",
    "But they found it impossible, for the thorns held fast together, as if they had hands, and the youths were caught in them, could not get loose again, and died a miserable death.",
    "After long, long years a king's son came again to that country, and heard an old man talking about the thorn-hedge, and that a castle was said to stand behind it in which a wonderfully beautiful princess, named briar-rose, had been asleep for a hundred years, and that the king and queen and the whole court were asleep likewise. He had heard, too, from his grandfather, that many kings, sons had already come, and had tried to get through the thorny hedge, but they had remained sticking fast in it, and had died a pitiful death.",
    "Then the youth said, I am not afraid, I will go and see the beautiful briar-rose. The good old man might dissuade him as he would, he did not listen to his words.",
    "But by this time the hundred years had just passed, and the day had come when briar-rose was to awake again. When the king's son came near to the thorn-hedge, it was nothing but large and beautiful flowers, which parted from each other of their own accord, and let him pass unhurt, then they closed again behind him like a hedge. In the castle yard he saw the horses and the spotted hounds lying asleep, on the roof sat the pigeons with their heads under their wings. And when he entered the house, the flies were asleep upon the wall, the cook in the kitchen was still holding out his hand to seize the boy, and the maid was sitting by the black hen which she was going to pluck.",
    "He went on farther, and in the great hall he saw the whole of the court lying asleep, and up by the throne lay the king and queen.",
    "Then he went on still farther, and all was so quiet that a breath could be heard, and at last he came to the tower, and opened the door into the little room where briar-rose was sleeping.",
    "There she lay, so beautiful that he could not turn his eyes away, and he stooped down and gave her a kiss. But as soon as he kissed her, briar-rose opened her eyes and awoke, and looked at him quite sweetly.",
    "Then they went down together, and the king awoke, and the queen, and the whole court, and looked at each other in great astonishment. And the horses in the courtyard stood up and shook themselves, the hounds jumped up and wagged their tails, the pigeons upon the roof pulled out their heads from under their wings, looked round, and flew into the open country, the flies on the wall crept again, the fire in the kitchen burned up and flickered and cooked the meat, the joint began to turn and sizzle again, and the cook gave the boy such a box on the ear that he screamed, and the maid finished plucking the fowl.",
    "And then the marriage of the king's son with briar-rose was celebrated with all splendor, and they lived contented to the end of their days."

When the king's son came near to the thorn-hedge, it was nothing but large and beautiful flowers, which parted from each other of their own accord, and let him pass unhurt, then they closed again behind him like a hedge. In the castle yard he saw the horses and the spotted hounds lying asleep, on the roof sat the pigeons with their heads under their wings. And when he entered the house, the flies were asleep upon the wall, the cook in the kitchen was still holding out his hand to seize the boy, and the maid was sitting by the black hen which she was going to pluck.",

And the horses in the courtyard stood up and shook themselves, the hounds jumped up and wagged their tails, the pigeons upon the roof pulled out their heads from under their wings, looked round, and flew into the open country, the flies on the wall crept again, the fire in the kitchen burned up and flickered and cooked the meat, the joint began to turn and sizzle again, and the cook gave the boy such a box on the ear that he screamed, and the maid finished plucking the fowl.",

    "There she lay, so beautiful that he could not turn his eyes away, and he stooped down and gave her a kiss. But as soon as he kissed her, briar-rose opened her eyes and awoke, and looked at him quite sweetly.",
    "Then they went down together, and the king awoke, and the queen, and the whole court, and looked at each other in great astonishment. And the horses in the courtyard stood up and shook themselves, the hounds jumped up and wagged their tails, the pigeons upon the roof pulled out their heads from under their wings, looked round, and flew into the open country, the flies on the wall crept again, the fire in the kitchen burned up and flickered and cooked the meat, the joint began to turn and sizzle again, and the cook gave the boy such a box on the ear that he screamed, and the maid finished plucking the fowl.",
    "And then the marriage of the king's son with briar-rose was celebrated with all splendor, and they lived contented to the end of their days."

    "A long time ago, a King and Queen lived in a big castle. Every day, they looked at the sky and said, \"Oh, if only we had a little child.\" But they never did. Then, one day, the Queen was taking a bath in a pretty pool. A little green frog hopped out of the water. He looked at her and said, \"Your wish will come true. Before the year is over, you will have a little girl.",
    "The frog’s words came true. The queen had a little girl who was very, very pretty. The king was so happy that he could not stop smiling. He ordered a big party with lots of food. He invited his family, his friends, and the wise women. He wanted them to be kind to the baby. There were thirteen wise women in the kingdom, but the king only had twelve golden plates. So, one wise woman had to stay home.",
    "The party was full of fun and food. When it was time to go, the good fairies gave the baby a special gift. One fairy gave her kindness. Another gave her a beautiful smile. A third gave her lots of pretty things. They gave her everything a little girl could ever want.",
    "When eleven of them had made their promises, suddenly the thirteenth fairy came in. She wanted to get back at them for not inviting her. She did not say hello or look at anyone. With a loud voice, she cried, \"The king's daughter will prick her finger on a spindle when she is fifteen, and she will fall down and go to sleep.\" Then, without saying another word, she turned around and left the room.",
    "They were all very surprised, but the twelfth fairy stepped forward. She still had a good wish left to make. She could not fix the bad spell, but she could make it softer. So, she said, \"The princess will not die. Instead, she will sleep for a hundred years.",
    "The king wanted to keep his dear daughter safe from any bad luck. So, he ordered that every single spindle in the whole kingdom should be burned. At the same time, the gifts from the good fairies came true. The girl was so beautiful, kind, and smart that everyone who saw her fell in love with her.",
    "On the day she turned fifteen, the king and queen were away. The princess was all alone in the big palace. She walked through many rooms and looked at everything she liked. Finally, she found an old tower. She climbed the winding stairs to a small door. A rusty key was in the lock. She turned it, and the door opened. In the little room, an old woman sat spinning flax with a spindle.",
    "Good day, dear old lady,\" said the princess. \"What are you doing there?\" \"I am spinning,\" said the old woman. She nodded her head. \"What is that thing that makes such a happy sound?\" asked the girl. She took the spindle and wanted to try it, too. But the moment she touched it, the magic spell happened. She pricked her finger on the sharp point.",
    "And just as she felt the little prick, she fell onto the soft bed and went into a deep sleep. This sleep spread through the whole palace. The king and queen, who had just walked in, felt sleepy too. Everyone in the court fell asleep with them. The horses slept in the stable, the dogs rested in the yard, and the birds curled up on the roof. Even the flies on the wall stopped moving. The fire on the hearth became quiet and still. The roast meat stopped sizzling, and the cook, who was about to scold the boy, let him go and went to sleep as well. The wind stopped blowing, and not a single leaf moved on the trees outside the castle.",
    "But a hedge of thorns grew all around the castle. Every year it got taller and taller. Soon it covered the whole castle, so you could not see the roof at all. The princess was called Briar-Rose. People told the story of her sweet sleep everywhere. Kings' sons came to try and get through the thorny hedge to see her.",
    "But they could not get through. The thorns held tight, like strong hands. The young men got stuck and could not move. They were very sad and passed away.",
    "After a long, long time, a kind prince came back to that land. He heard an old man talking about the sharp thorn hedge. People said a castle stood behind it. Inside, a lovely princess named Briar-Rose had been sleeping for a hundred years. The king, queen, and all the people were asleep, too. The prince had heard from his grandfather that many princes had tried to get through the thorny hedge. But they got stuck in the sharp thorns and were hurt.",
    "The young man said, \"I am not afraid. I will go and see the beautiful briar-rose.\" The kind old man tried to stop him, but the young man did not listen.",
    "But the hundred years were finally over. The day had come for Briar-Rose to wake up. When the prince came near the thorny hedge, it was covered in beautiful flowers. The flowers parted to let him pass safely. Then, they closed up again behind him like a wall. In the castle yard, he saw the horses and the spotted dogs sleeping. The pigeons sat on the roof with their heads tucked under their wings. When he walked inside, the flies were asleep on the wall. The cook was still reaching out his hand, and the maid was sitting by the black hen, ready to pluck its feathers.",
    "He walked a little farther. In the big hall, he saw everyone fast asleep. The king and queen were lying right by the throne.",
    "Then he went on a little farther. It was so quiet that you could hear a tiny breath. At last, he came to the tower and opened the door into the little room where Briar-Rose was sleeping.",
    "There she lay, looking so pretty that he could not look away. He leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss. But the moment his lips touched hers, Briar-Rose’s eyes opened. She woke up and looked at him with a sweet, happy smile.",

    "And then the king's son married Briar-Rose. They had a big, happy wedding. They lived in the castle together and were very happy. They loved each other very much. They lived there for a long, long time, and they were always content."
