Little Briar
And when eleven of them had said their say, in came the uninvited thirteenth, burning to revenge herself, and without greeting or respect, she cried with a loud voice: "In the fifteenth year of her age the princess shall prick herself with a spindle and shall fall down dead. When eleven of them had made their promises, suddenly the thirteenth came in. Round about the castle a thorn hedge began to grow, and every year it became higher, until it finally surrounded and covered the entire castle. He had heard, too, from his grandfather, that many kings, sons had already come, and had tried to get through the thorny hedge, but they had remained sticking fast in it, and had died a pitiful death. And this sleep spread throughout the entire castle. Legends also told that from time to time princes came, wanting to force their way through the hedge into the castle.
And then the prince and Briar Rose were married, and the wedding feast was given; and they lived happily together all their lives long. And, in the very moment when she felt the prick, she fell down upon the bed that stood there, and lay in a deep sleep. But they found it impossible, for the thorns held fast together, as if they had hands, and the youths were caught in them, could not get loose again, and died a miserable death. And when he entered the house, the flies were asleep upon the wall, the cook in the kitchen was still holding out his hand to seize the boy, and the maid was sitting by the black hen which she was going to pluck. And then the prince and Briar Rose were married, and the wedding feast was given; and they lived happily together all their lives long.
They were all shocked, but the twelfth, whose good wish still remained unspoken, came forward, and as she could not undo the evil sentence, but only soften it, she said, it shall not be death, but a deep sleep of a hundred years, into which the princess shall fall. But all the gifts of the first eleven fairies were in the meantime fulfilled; for the princess was so beautiful, and well behaved, and good, and wise, that everyone who knew her loved her. The eleventh one had just pronounced her blessing when the thirteenth one suddenly walked in. And the horses in the courtyard stood up and shook themselves, the hounds jumped up and wagged their tails, the pigeons upon the roof pulled out their heads from under their wings, looked round, and flew into the open country, the flies on the wall crept again, the fire in the kitchen burned up and flickered and cooked the meat, the joint began to turn and sizzle again, and the cook gave the boy such a box on the ear that he screamed, and the maid finished plucking the fowl. When eleven of them had made their promises, suddenly the thirteenth came in. Now, as she had not been asked to the feast she was very angry, and scolded the king and queen very much, and set to work to take her revenge. It also focuses on the eternal confrontation of the good and the evil.
Originally known as Sleeping Beauty, the story depicts magical and romance themes to fit in the social environment of the eighteenth century. When the prince approached the thorn hedge, it was nothing but large, beautiful flowers that separated by themselves, allowing him to pass through without harm, but then behind him closed back into a hedge. A legend circulated throughout the land about the beautiful sleeping Little Brier-Rose, for so the princess was called. Revised February 16, 2015. Many long, long years later, once again a prince came to the country.
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, aka the Brothers Grimm, set out to collect stories in the early 1800s, their goal was not to entertain children but to preserve Germanic folklore. And when he came indoors, the flies on the wall were asleep, the cook in the kitchen had his hand uplifted to strike the scullion, and the kitchen-maid had the black fowl on her lap ready to pluck. Finally nothing at all could be seen of it, not even the flag on the roof. The devasted father has all the spindles in the kingdom burned. So twelve fairies came, each with a high red cap on her head, and red shoes with high heels on her feet, and a long white wand in her hand: and after the feast was over they gathered round in a ring and gave all their best gifts to the little princess.
Then he went on still farther, and all was so quiet that a breath could be heard, and at last he came to the tower, and opened the door into the little room where briar-rose was sleeping. Finally she came to an old tower. However a problem occurs. She looked so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her, so he stooped down and gave her a kiss. It was said that there was a castle behind it, in which a beautiful princess named Little Brier-Rose had been asleep for a hundred years, and with her the king and the queen and all the royal attendants were sleeping.
In the castle yard he saw the horses and the spotted hounds lying asleep, on the roof sat the pigeons with their heads under their wings. And, in the very moment when she felt the prick, she fell down upon the bed that stood there, and lay in a deep sleep. He heard an old man telling about the thorn hedge. The story was represented at the beginning of the eighteen century, the time when the traditions and societal values were of paramount importance and, therefore, the ideal of a person is the one endowed with all those virtues and gifts.

Everyone was horrified, and the twelfth wise woman, who had not yet offered her wish, stepped foreward. A long time ago there were a King and Queen who said every day, "Ah, if only we had a child! The roast began to sizzle once again. The good old man might dissuade him as he would, he did not listen to his words. But scarcely had she touched the spindle when the magic decree was fulfilled, and she pricked her finger with it. But the moment he kissed her she opened her eyes and awoke, and smiled upon him; and they went out together; and soon the king and queen also awoke, and all the court, and gazed on each other with great wonder.
