Tale: Briar Rose (Brothers Grimm)
Once upon a time in a far off country in the days of the fairies there lived a king and queen. The king and queen had everything they could wish for except for one thing.. a child. One day the queen came across a little fish by the side of the river, the queen took pity on the little fish and threw in back into the river. Before swimming away the fish said to the queen ’I know what your wish is, and it shall be fulfilled, in return for your kindness to me–you will soon have a daughter.’
This soon came to pass, the little girl was so beautiful the king could not cease looking on it with joy, he decided to hold a great feast and show the child to all the land. The queen invited the fairies to come however there were 13 fairies and the king and queen had only 12 golden dishes for them to eat out of, they were forced to leave out one of the fairies. The twelve fairies came and gave the little princess all their best gifts. Just as eleven of them had done blessing the tiny princess, the thirteenth fairy had arrived, she was very angry at not being invited and she cursed the little princess that on her fifteenth year she would be wounded by a spindle and die. The twelfth fairy came forward and as her wish she said the evil wish must be fulfilled but she could soften it, she said when the princess wounded her finger she would not really die but fall asleep for a hundred years.
The king ordered all the spindles in the kingdom to be destroyed.
On the very day Briar Rose was fifteen, the king and queen were not at home and she was left alone in the palace. She looked in all the rooms and chambers till at last she came to an old tower she went up the tower and there sat an old lady spinning away busily. Briar Rose asked what the old lady was doing and the lady replied 'Spinning' The princess took the spindle and began to try to spin. She had scarcely touched it when the prophecy was fulfilled she fell to the ground lifeless.
She was not dead however, only in a deep sleep, when the king and queen and all their court came home they also fell asleep.
Soon a large hedge of thorns grew round the palace every year getting higher and thicker soon it was hidden. But there went a report through the land of a beautiful sleeping princess so from time to time several kings' sons came along and tried to break through the thicket to get to the palace but they all failed.
After many years there came a king's son he was told of the story of the beautiful sleeping princess and set his mind that he would go to see her. On that day the hundred years had ended and the thicket of thorns were gone. The prince went up to the tower were the princess was. She looked so beautiful he couldn't take his eyes from her and he gave her a kiss. The moment he kissed her she opened her eyes and awoke. They went out together and soon the king and queen also awoke along with all the court.
The prince and Briar Rose were married on Briar Rose's sixteenth birthday.
