Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a beautiful princess named Aurora. She had long, golden hair and sparkling blue eyes. Aurora loved to play in the meadows and sing with the birds.
One day, a wicked fairy named Maleficent became angry because she wasn't invited to Aurora's birthday party. In her anger, she cast a spell on Aurora. The spell said that when Aurora turned 16, she would prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep.
Aurora's parents were devastated when they heard about the spell. They tried to protect her by banning all spinning wheels from the kingdom. But on Aurora's 16th birthday, she discovered an old spinning wheel in a hidden room. As she touched it, she pricked her finger and fell into a deep sleep, just like the spell said.
The whole kingdom fell into a deep sleep too. The castle was covered in thorny vines, and everyone waited for a prince to come and wake Aurora up with true love's kiss.
Many years passed, and one day, a brave prince named Philip arrived. He fought through the thorny vines and found Aurora in the castle. He kissed her gently, and Aurora woke up from her long sleep. The spell was broken, and everyone in the kingdom woke up too. Aurora and Prince Philip got married and lived happily ever after.
