Sleeping Beauty

An angry fairy who was not invited to the royal feast puts a curse on the little princess, and on her fifteenth birthday she pricks her finger on a spindle and falls asleep for a hundred years, together with the whole castle. When the hundred years are over, the thorny hedge turns into flowers for a brave prince, and his gentle kiss wakes the princess and everyone around her.
