In a far far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years had they longed for

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.

And our story begins on that most joyful day.

Thus on this great and joyous day did all the  kingdom celebrate the long awaited royal birth.

And good King Stefan and his Queen made welcome their life long friend

 

There were three good fairies who visited by King and Queen  in the royal birthday.

Mistress Flora, mistress Fauna, and mistress Merryweather. 

Fairies:

  (at the cradle)
  Oh, the little darling!
  (to the king)
  Your majesties...

*to the point aja ya, udah ngantuk nih ngerjainnya

They gave some special gift for Aurora.

 

Flora:   Each of us the child may bless with a single gift. 

  No more, no less. (at the cradle)
  Little princess, my gift shall be the gift of beauty.

Fauna:
  Tiny princess, my gift shall be the gift of song.

Merryweather:
  Sweet princess, my gift shall be ...

 

Unfortunately King and Queen forgot to invite one of them,

Maleficent who was a bit of a witch as well.

 

A blow of the wind, the door of the castle swings open.  Lightning and thunder.

  Maleficent came with her anger because she didn’t invited.

Then she cursed Aurora.

Maleficent:

    Listen well, all of you! 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.

 

"Oh, no!" screamed the Queen in horror.

  A good fairy quickly chanted a magic spell to change the curse. When she hurt herself, the girl would fall into a very deep sleep instead of dying.

The years went by, the little Princess grew and became the most beautiful girl in the whole kingdom.

  Her mother was always very careful to keep her away from spindles, but the Princess, on her sixteenth birthday, as she wandered through the castle, came into a room where an old servant was spinning.

"What are you doing?" she asked the servant.

  "I'm spinning. Haven't you seen a spindle before?"

  "No. Let me see it!" The servant handed the girl the spindle ... and she pricked herself with it and. with a sigh, dropped to the floor.

•

    The terrified old woman hurried to tell the Queen. Beside herself with anguish, the Queen did her best to awaken her daughter but in vain. The court doctors and wizards were called, but there was nothing they could do. The girl could not be wakened from her deep sleep. The good fairy who managed to avoid the worst of the curse came too,

"When will my daughter waken?"

"I don't know," the fairy admitted sadly.

"In a year's time, ten years or twenty?" the Queen went on.

"Maybe in a hundred years' time. Who knows?" said the fairy.

"Oh! What would make her waken?" asked the Queen weeping.

Finally, all of them slept in the castle.

  The years sped past. In the castle grounds, the trees grew tall. The bushes became thick and straggling, the grass invaded the courtyards and the creepers spread up the walls. In a hundred years, a dense forest grew up.

 

Now, it so happened that a Prince arrived in these parts. He was the son of a king in a country close by.

  Young, handsome and melancholy, he sought in solitude everything he could not find in the company of other men: serenity, sincerity and purity.

Wandering on his trusty steed he arrived, one day, at the dark forest. Being adventurous, he decided to explore it. He made his way through slowly and with a struggle, for the trees and bushes grew in a thick tangle.

 

In the middle way,  he met the dragon.

He killed the dragon who guard the dark forest

•

"I wonder who this castle belongs to?" he thought.

  The young Prince rode on towards the castle. The drawbridge was down and, holding his horse by the reins, he crossed over it. Immediately he saw the inhabitants draped all over the steps, the halls and courtyards, and said to himself,

  "Good heavens! They're dead!" But in a moment, he realised that they were sound asleep. "Wake up! Wake up!" he shouted, but nobody moved. 

Still thoroughly astonished, he went into the castle and again discovered more people, lying fast asleep on the floor.

    

  As though led by a hand in the complete silence, the Prince finally reached the room where the beautiful Princess lay fast asleep.

    

  For a long time he stood gazing at her face, so full of serenity, so peaceful, lovely and pure, and he felt spring to his heart that love he had always been searching for and never found. Overcome by emotion, he went close, lifted the girl's little white hand and gently kissed it . . . 

At that kiss, the princess quickly opened her eyes, and wakening from her long long sleep, seeing the Prince beside her, murmured:

  "Oh, you have come at last! I was waiting for you in my dream. I've waited so long!"

 

 

Just then, the spell was broken. The Princess rose to her feet, holding out her hand to the Prince. And the whole castle woke up too.

    Everybody rose to their feet and they all stared round in amazement, wondering what had happened. When they finally realised, they rushed to the Princess, more beautiful and happier then ever.

 

A few days later, the castle that only a short time before had lain in silence, now rang with the sound of singing, music and happy laughter at the great party given in honour of the Prince and Princess, who were getting married.

  They lived happily ever after, as they always do in fairy tales, not quite so often, however, in real life.
