Once upon a time, there liverd a king and a queen, They prayed every day for a child. But they never had one.
One day, the queen went to the river after rain. She prayed again, "Dear God, please bless us with a child." at that moment, a frog jumped out of the water. He said to the queen, "You will have a daughter soon."
Before long, the queen really had a beautiful baby girl. The king and the queen were very happy. The king said, "I will hold a big celebration party for our daughter, and every body will know the good news."
The queen said, "we should invite the fairies. They will bless our daughter." "Yes, they shall be our most important guests," the king agreed.
Therer were thirteen fairies in the kingdom. Among them, twelve were kind; one was evil. The king did not invite the evil fairy to the party.
On the party, each fairy gave a blessing to the princess. "She shall be kind, She shall be beautiful, She shall be clever."
The fairies gave the princess every good thing in the world.
When the twelfth fairy was about to give her blessing, the evil fairy came and shouted, "Why didn't you invite me? You will pay the price. When the princess is fifteen years old, she will prick herself with a spindle and die!"
The queen started to cry, "Oh, how to save my daughter!" I have the last wish to make. Though I cannot break the curse, I can change it." The twelfth fairy said "The princess will not die. She will fall into a long sleep for one hundred years until her true love comes."
