English Original
Long ago, a king and queen longed for a child. One day, a frog emerged from the water and promised the queen a daughter within a year. The prophecy came true, and a beautiful girl was born.
To celebrate, the king held a grand feast and invited twelve wise women of the kingdom to bless the child, for he had only twelve golden plates. Each bestowed a wonderful gift upon the princess: virtue, beauty, wealth, and so on.
Just as the eleventh had given her blessing, the thirteenth wise woman, who had not been invited, stormed in. Seeking revenge, she cried, "In her fifteenth year, the princess shall prick her finger on a spindle and die!" Then she left.
Everyone was horrified. The twelfth wise woman, who had not yet given her gift, stepped forward. She could not undo the curse, but she could soften it: "She shall not die, but fall into a deep sleep for a hundred years."
To protect his daughter, the king ordered all spindles in the kingdom to be burned. As the princess grew, all the good gifts were fulfilled in her.
On her fifteenth birthday, the king and queen were away. Exploring the castle alone, the princess came to an old tower. She climbed the winding stairs, unlocked a small door with a rusty key, and found an old woman spinning.
"What are you doing?" asked the princess.
"I am spinning," the old woman replied.
Curious, the princess reached for the spindle. The moment she touched it, she pricked her finger and fell into a deep sleep. The sleep spread instantly throughout the entire castle, ensnaring the king, queen, attendants, animals, and even the fire in the hearth.
A great thorn hedge grew around the castle, hiding it completely. A legend spread about the beautiful sleeping "Little Briar-Rose." Over the years, many princes tried to penetrate the hedge but were caught and died.
After a hundred years, a prince arrived. Hearing the legend, he was determined to find the princess. As he approached, the thorn hedge turned into beautiful flowers that parted for him. Inside the silent castle, he found everyone asleep. He climbed the tower, found the sleeping princess, and was so captivated by her beauty that he kissed her.
With that kiss, Little Briar-Rose awoke. The spell was broken. The king, queen, and the entire castle stirred back to life. The prince and princess were married with great splendor and lived happily ever after.

从前，国王和王后渴望有一个孩子。一天，一只青蛙从水中出现，向王后许诺她将在一年内生下一个女儿。预言成真，一个美丽的女婴诞生了。
为了庆祝，国王举行了盛大的宴会，并邀请了王国里的十二位女智者来祝福孩子，因为他只有十二个金盘子。她们依次为公主送上了美好的礼物：美德、美貌、财富等等。
正当第十一位女智者送上祝福时，未被邀请的第十三位女智者闯了进来。为了报复，她大声诅咒道：“在她十五岁那年，公主将被纺锤刺伤手指而死！”说完便离开了。
众人大惊失色。尚未送上祝福的第十二位女智者走上前来。她无法解除诅咒，但可以减轻它：“她不会死去，而是会陷入长达百年的沉睡。”
为了保护女儿，国王下令烧毁国内所有的纺锤。公主渐渐长大，所有美好的祝福都在她身上应验了。
在她十五岁生日那天，国王和王后外出了。公主独自在城堡里探索，来到一座古塔。她爬上蜿蜒的楼梯，用一把生锈的钥匙打开了一扇小门，发现一位老妇人正在纺纱。
“您在做什么？”公主问。
“我在纺纱。”老妇人回答。
出于好奇，公主伸手去拿纺锤。就在碰到纺锤的瞬间，她的手指被刺伤，随即陷入沉睡。这沉睡瞬间蔓延至整个城堡，国王、王后、仆从、动物，甚至炉火都静止了。
巨大的荆棘篱笆围绕着城堡生长起来，将其完全隐藏。关于美丽的“玫瑰公主”沉睡的传说流传开来。多年来，许多王子试图穿过荆棘，但都被困住而死。
一百年后，一位王子到来。听了传说后，他决心找到公主。当他走近时，荆棘篱笆变成了美丽的花朵，为他分开。在寂静的城堡里，他发现所有人都在沉睡。他爬上高塔，找到了沉睡的公主，并被她的美貌深深吸引，情不自禁地吻了她。
随着这一吻，玫瑰公主苏醒了。魔咒被打破。国王、王后和整个城堡都恢复了生机。王子和公主举行了盛大的婚礼，从此幸福地生活在一起。
