a long time ago there lived n king
and a queen, who said every day,
If only We had child; but for a
long time they had none.
II fell out once as the Queen was
bathing. that d frog crept out Of the
water on TO the land and said to
her: Your wish shall he fulfilled.
before a year has passed you shall
bring a daughter into the world
The frogs words came true. The
Queen had a little girl who was so
beautiful that tho King could not
contain himself for joy. and prepared
great feast He invited not only
his relations. friends, and acquatnt1
ances, but the fairies. in order that
they might be favorably and kindly
disposed toward the child, There
we're thirteen Of them IN the kingdom.
but as the King had only twelve
golden plates for them 10 eat off, one
Of the fairies had To say Mt home
The feast was held with all SPLEEN
dor. and when 1t came TO an end the
fairies all presented the child with
n magic gift. one gave her virtue,
another beauty. a third riches, and
so on, with everything in the world
that she could wish for.
When eleven Of The fairies had said
their say. the thirteenth suddenly APP
peared Sno wanted to revenge her
self for not having been invited
Wihout greeting anyone. or even

shall prick herself with distaT in
her fifteenth year and shall fan down
dead, and without another word
she turned and left the hall.
Everyone was terror-stricken. but
the twelfth fairy, whose wish was
still unspoken, stepped forward. She
could not cancel the curse, but could
only soften 1t. so she said: 1T shall
not be death, but q deep sleep last
ing hundred years. into which your
daughter shall fall"
The King was SO anxious to guard
his dear child from the misfortune
that he sent out a command that all
the distams in the whole Kingdom
should be burned
All the promises of the fairies came
true.
The Princess grew up so beautiful
modest, kind. and clever that every
one who saw her could not but love
her. Now 1t happened that on the
very day when she was fifteen years
old the King and Queen were away
from home. and the Princess was
left quite alone in the castle She
wandered about over the whole place,
looking at rooms and halls as she
pleased. and Mt Inst she came to an
old tower She assembled n narrow,
winding staircase and reached a lit
tie door. 4 rusty key was sticking in
the lock. and when she turned it the
door flew open. I'm a little room sat

brier hedge. and had remained caught
IN 1t and died sad death.
Then the young Prince said: II am
not afraid; l am determined to go and
look upon the lovely Brier Rose
The good old man did all in his
power to dissUade him, but the Prince
would not listen to his words.
Now however. the hundred years
were just ended. and the day had
come when Brier Rose was to wake
up again. When the Prince approach
ed the brier hedge it was in blossom,
and was covered with beautiful large
flowers which made way for him Of
their own accord. and let him pass
unframed and then closed up again
into a hedge behind him.
In the courtyard he saw the horses
and dappled hounds lying asleep, on
the roof sat the doves with their
heads under their wings. and when
he went into the house the flies were
asleep on the walls. and near the
throne lay the King and Queen; in
the kitchen was the cook. with his
hand raised as though about to strike
the scullion, and the maid sat with
the black fowl before her which she
was about to pluck,
He went on farther. and all was SO
still that he could hear his own
breathing At last he reached the
tower and opened the door into the
little room where Brier Rose was
asleep There she lay, looking so
beautiful that he could not take his
eyes off her: he bent down and gave
her kiss. AS he touched her, Brier
Rose opened her eyes and looked
quite sweetly at him. Then they
went down together; and the King
and Queen and all the courtiers woke
up. and looked at each other with
astonished eyes. The horses in the
stable stood up and shook themselves,
the hounds leaped about and wagged
their tails, the doves on the roof lifted
their heads from under their wings,
looked around, and flew into the
fields: the flies on the walls began
to crawl again. the fire in the kitchen
reused itself and blazed up and cook
ed the food, the meat began to
crack1e, and the cook boxed the soul
lions ears so soundly that he scream
ed aloud, while the maid finished
plucking the fowl Then the wedding
Of the Prince and Brier Rose was
celebrated with all splendor, and they
lived happily til they died.
