Once  t here  was  a  Ki ng  and  a  Queen.   For  many  years  t hey  had  want ed a  chi l d,   and  no  chi l d  had  come  t o  t hem.

Then  t he  Queen  had  a  chi l d.   I t   was  a  gi rl .   The  Ki ng  was  very gl ad.

You  know  what   a  f ai ry  i s.   Many  f ai ri es  l i ved  near  t he  Ki ng' s house.   When  t he  Queen' s  chi l d  came,   t he  Ki ng  went   t o  al l   t he  f ai ri es and  sai d,   "The  Queen  has  a  chi l d.   Do  come  t o  t he  house  and  see  our new l i t t l e  gi rl . "  Al l   t he  f ai ri es  sai d,   "We  are  very  gl ad:   we  wi l l come  t oday  . "

One  of   t he  f ai ri es  had  gone  away  on  a  j ourney:   she  had  been very  f ar  away.   She  had  not   come  back  when  t he  Queen' s  chi l d  came.

When  she  came  back,   one  of   t he  f ai ri es  sai d  t o  her,   "The  Queen  has a  chi l d,   and  t he  Ki ng  came  t o  us  and  sai d,   "Come  and  see  our  new l i t t l e  gi rl .   ""

But   t hi s  f ai ry  was  a  bad  f ai ry;   t he  bad  f ai ry  sai d,   "The  Ki ng went   t o  al l   of   you:   why  di d  he  not   come  t o  me?  I   shal l   go  and  see t he  Ki ng' s  chi l d;   but   I   shal l   gi ve  her  some  bad  t hi ng. "

Al l   t he  good  f ai ri es  went   t o  t he  Ki ng' s  house,   and  saw  t he l i t t l e  gi rl ;   and  t hey  al l   gave  her  some  good  t hi ng.   One  sai d,   "I gi ve  her  t hi s  good  t hi ng:   she  shal l   have  ri ches. "  One  f ai ry  sai d,

"I   gi ve  her  t hi s  good  t hi ng;   she  shal l   become  a  brave  woman. "  One sai d,   "I   gi ve  her  t hi s  good  t hi ng:   she  shal l   become  a  good  woman. " Al l   gave  some  good  t hi ng.

Then  t here  came  t he  bad  f ai ry.   She  sai d,   "The  Ki ng  went   t o  al l t he  f ai ri es  but   he  di d  not   come  t o  me,   so  I   shal l   gi ve  t he  chi l d some  bad  t hi ng.   She  wi l l   have  ri ches;   she  wi l l   become  brave;   she wi l l   become  good.   But ,   when  she  i s  a  woman,   she  wi l l   pri ck  her  hand wi t h  a  needl e,   and  di e. "  The  poor  Queen  di d  not   know  what   t o  do.

The  Ki ng  sai d  t o  t he  good  f ai ri es,   "

The  poor  gi rl   shal l   not   di e.   Can  you  not   hel p  me?  Say  t hat   she shal l   not   di e! "  The  good  f ai ri es  sai d,   "  We  cannot   hel p  you.   What t he  bad  f ai ry  has  sai d  wi l l   come.   Your  chi l d  wi l l   pri ck  her  hand wi t h  a  needl e;   but   she  shal l   not   di e.   She  shal l   sl eep  f or  many  years.

Then  a  ki ng' s  son    shal l   come  and  ki ss  her.   And  she  wi l l   awake.

He  shal l   wake  her  wi t h  a  ki ss. "  Then  t he  f ai ri es  went   away.

As  she  went   on,   she  came  t o  a  new  room.  I t   was  a  l i t t l e  room very  f ar  away  f rom al l   t he  ot her  rooms.   The  door  of   t he  room was shut .   The  Pri ncess  want ed  t o  go  i n-   and  see  what   was  i n  t hi s  room.
