Sleeping beauty: Disney version
"In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years had they longed for a child and
finally their wish was granted. A daughter was born, and they called her Aurora. Yes, they named her after the dawn for she filled their lives with sunshine. Then a great holiday was proclaimed throughout the
kingdom, so that all of high or low estate might pay homage to the infant princess. And our story begins on that most joyful day." The king and the queen also received three good fairies as guests:mistress Flora, mistress Fauna, and mistress Merry-weather. They were supposed to give one gift each one to the
newborn princess. Flora gave her beauty, Fauna gave her the gift of song, and when Merry-weather was going to do the same, an evil witch called Maleficent appeared. Since she was very angry because she had not received any invitation,
she said: The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But, before the sun sets on her
sixteenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die."

As the evil witch said on her sixteenth birthday, she pricked her finger on a spindle and father than dying she fell into a unconscious sleep. A prince came to rescue her but was caught and captured by the witch. However like much of the other fairy tales the prince and princess happily find love with each other and live happily ever after.
As a child I would watch the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty, I think its because I enjoyed the ending and to see that the prince and princess end up falling in love with each other
