Sleeping Beauty 🌹👑 | A Simple Bedtime Story for Kids with Pictures
Once upon a time, there was a king and queen who wished for a child more than anything in the world.
One day, their wish came true.
A beautiful baby princess was born.
The king and queen were overjoyed and held a grand celebration.
They invited many fairies to bless the baby with wonderful gifts.
One fairy gave her kindness.
Another gave her beauty.
Another gave her wisdom.
But one old fairy had not been invited.
She was very angry.
“You will be sorry!” she cried.
Then she cast a spell.
“When the princess turns sixteen, she will prick her finger on a spindle and fall.”
Everyone in the palace gasped.
Luckily, one kind fairy had not yet given her gift.
“I cannot remove the spell,” she said gently.
“But I can change it.”
“The princess will not die. Instead, she will fall into a deep sleep for one hundred years.”
“One day, a brave prince will wake her.”
Years passed, and the princess grew into a kind and lovely young girl.
On her sixteenth birthday, she wandered through the castle and discovered a small room she had never seen before.
Inside sat an old woman spinning yarn.
“What are you doing?” asked the princess.
The spinning wheel looked fascinating.
The princess reached out to touch the spindle.
Prick!
She pricked her finger.
At once, she fell into a deep sleep.
The magic spread through the castle.
The king and queen fell asleep.
The servants fell asleep.
Even the palace animals closed their eyes.
Everything became still and quiet.
As the years passed, roses and thorny vines grew around the castle.
They climbed the walls.
They covered the gates.
Soon, the castle disappeared behind a giant wall of roses and thorns.
People told stories about the sleeping princess hidden inside.
Many wondered if the tale was true.
One hundred years later, a young prince heard the story.
He decided to find the enchanted castle.
When he arrived, the thorny hedge slowly opened a path for him.
The prince walked through the garden and entered the silent castle.
Everything was exactly as it had been a hundred years before.
At last, he found the sleeping princess.
She looked peaceful and beautiful.
The prince gently kissed her hand.
At once, the spell was broken.
The princess opened her eyes.
The king and queen awoke.
The servants awoke.
The entire castle came back to life.
Everyone celebrated with joy.
The prince and princess became great friends and soon decided to marry.
A wonderful wedding was held, filled with music, dancing, and laughter.
And they lived happily ever after.
