Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there was a beautiful princess named Aurora.

Aurora had golden hair and blue eyes. Everyone in the kingdom loved her.

On Aurora's first birthday, a great celebration was held in the castle.

Three good fairies came to bless baby Aurora with gifts of beauty, song, and happiness.

Suddenly, a wicked fairy named Maleficent appeared and was angry for not being invited.

"On Aurora's sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall asleep forever," Maleficent cursed.

The king and queen were worried. The good fairies promised to protect Aurora.

The fairies hid Aurora in a cottage deep in the woods to keep her safe.

Years passed, and Aurora grew into a kind and beautiful young woman.

On her sixteenth birthday, Aurora met a handsome prince in the forest.

Aurora went back to the castle, where a spinning wheel waited. She pricked her finger and fell asleep.

The prince fought Maleficent and broke the curse with a true love's kiss. Aurora awoke, and they lived happily ever after.
