Alright, my little one, snuggle in close because tonight, I’m going to tell you a tale of magic, kindness, and how love can overcome any curse. It’s the story of a beautiful princess named Aurora, and how a simple act of kindness brought light to a kingdom lost in sleep.
Once upon a time, in a land surrounded by enchanted forests, there was a king and queen who longed for a child. After many years, their wish came true, and they were blessed with a baby girl. The little princess was named Aurora, and she was the most beautiful child the kingdom had ever seen. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her hair shimmered like gold. The whole kingdom rejoiced, and the king and queen invited all the good fairies to a grand celebration in honor of their daughter’s birth.
But there was one fairy who was not invited—the wicked fairy Maleficent. She was angry and hurt that she had been left out, so she appeared at the celebration uninvited. With a wicked cackle, she declared, “Before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, Aurora will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep that will last forever!” The room fell silent with fear.
The good fairies, however, rushed to protect the princess. The youngest fairy, Flora, tried to soften the curse. “Maleficent’s spell cannot be broken, but it can be lessened. Aurora will not die from the curse—she will only sleep until true love’s kiss awakens her.”
With that, Maleficent vanished into the night, leaving the kingdom in despair. The king and queen, heartbroken but hopeful, made sure that Aurora was kept safe from any spinning wheels. They sent her to live in a secluded cottage with the good fairies, where she could grow up in peace and happiness.
Aurora lived happily with the fairies, unaware of the curse that hung over her. She spent her days singing in the meadows and dancing under the sun. But on her sixteenth birthday, something magical and fateful happened.
As she wandered the castle, exploring rooms she had never seen before, Aurora stumbled upon a hidden tower. Inside, she saw a beautiful spinning wheel. Curious, she touched the wheel, and as if guided by fate, her finger pricked the spindle, and she immediately fell into a deep sleep. The whole kingdom fell silent as a curse of eternal slumber took hold.
The good fairies, though heartbroken, knew what had to be done. They placed Aurora in a magical, enchanted slumber in a bed surrounded by a field of roses. The good fairies cast a spell on the kingdom, making sure that all who lived there would fall into a deep sleep, waiting for the day when true love’s kiss would awaken their beloved princess.
Years passed, and the kingdom remained locked in time, waiting for the moment when Aurora’s true love would arrive. Then, one day, a brave and kind prince heard the legend of the sleeping princess and the curse that had held her captive. Determined to break the spell, the prince made his way through the thick, enchanted forest, guided only by his heart.
When he reached the tower, he saw Aurora lying peacefully in her bed, surrounded by the roses that had grown wild over the years. As he gazed at her, he knew in his heart that she was the one he had been searching for all along. He gently kissed her forehead, and the magic that had bound her in sleep broke.
Aurora’s eyes fluttered open, and with a smile, she looked at the prince. “You’ve come for me,” she whispered, and in that moment, they both knew that they were meant to be together.
The curse was broken, and the kingdom awoke from its long, enchanted slumber. Aurora and the prince were married in a grand celebration, and the entire kingdom rejoiced. The evil fairy Maleficent, seeing that her spell had been undone, vanished in defeat, her power broken by the strength of true love.
And so, Princess Aurora and her prince lived happily ever after, proving that no matter how dark the curse or how long the wait, love and kindness will always find a way to break the spell and bring light to the world.
aurora Song 🌸
In a tower so high, hidden from view,
Lived a princess so fair, her beauty so true.
With a curse placed upon her, the kingdom did sleep,
But love’s kiss awoke her from the dream so deep.
Through magic and dreams, her story was told,
A tale of a princess, both brave and bold.
True love broke the curse, the darkness did fade,
And the kingdom rejoiced in the light they had made.

- Sleeping Beauty is based on fairy tales from different cultures, but the most famous version we know today was written by Charles Perrault in 1697! 🏰
- The evil fairy Maleficent was originally not even in the story! She was added in later versions, like the one by the Brothers Grimm and the Disney movie. 😈
- The princess’s long sleep is symbolic—many believe it represents growing up, as she awakens into the next stage of her life. 🌸
- Did you know that the original tale wasn’t all happy? In some versions, Aurora wakes up only to marry a prince who is already married, or sometimes even after the prince leaves her for another! 😲
- Roses are an important part of the story. They symbolize love and beauty, but also the thorns that come with it—just like life’s challenges. 🌹
