睡美人

Once upon a time, there lived a king and a queen. They prayed every day for a child. But they never had one. One day, the queen went to the river after rain. She prayed again, “ Dear God, please bless us with a child. " At that moment, a frog jumped out of the water. He said to the queen, “ You will have a daughter soon. "

从前，有一座美丽的城堡，城堡里住着国王和王后。他们日日夜夜地祈祷，盼望上天能赐给他们一个孩子。但是一直都没有孩子。 一天，刚下过雨，王后虔诚地在河边祈祷：“请让我有个孩子吧。” 突然，一只青蛙跳出水面对王后说: “不久以后，你就会有个女儿。”

Before long, the queen had a really beautiful baby girl. The king and the queen were very happy. The king said, " I will hold a big party for our daughter, and everybody will know the good news. " The queen said, " We should invite the fairies. They will bless our daughter. " " Yes, they shall be our most important guests, " the king agreed.

没过多久，王后果然生下了一个漂亮的女婴。国王和王后高兴极了。 国王说：“我要举办一场盛大的宴会，让全国人民都知道这个好消息！” 王后说：“咱们要把仙女们请来，请她们给我们的女儿赐福。” “嗯， 她们将是我们最重要的客人！”国王赞同道。

There were thirteen fairies in the kingdom. Among them, twelve were kind; one was evil. The king did not invite the evil fairy to the party. At the party, each fairy gave a blessing to the princess. " She shall be kind. " " She shall be beautiful. " " She shall be clever. " The fairies gave the princess every good thing in the world.

王国里住着十三个仙女，其中十二个都非常善良，另外一个却邪恶而歹毒。国王没有邀请那个邪恶的仙女参加宴会。 宴会上，每个仙女们都为小公主送上了一份祝福。 “她将拥有最高尚的品德。” “她将成为王国里最漂亮的人。" ”她将成为世界上最聪明的人。“ 仙女们把世间一切美好的东西都给了公主。

When the twelfth fairy was about to give her blessing, the evil fairy came and shouted, " Why didn't you invite me? You will pay the price. When the princess is fifteen years old, she will prick herself with a spindle and die! ” The queen started to cry, " Oh, how to save my daughter! " " I have the last wish to make. Though I cannot break the curse, I can change it, " the twelfth fairy said. " The princess will not die. She will fall into a long sleep for one hundred years until her true love comes. "

当第十二个仙女正要送出祝福时，宴会厅里突然响起邪恶仙女愤怒的咆哮声， “为什么不邀请我？我要让你们付出代价。公主将在十五岁时被一个纺锤扎伤，然后死去！” 王后流下了伤心的眼泪，“天哪，怎样才能救救我的女儿！” "我还有最后一个祝福。虽然不能阻止那个魔咒应验，但我可以改变它,"第十二位仙女说道。 “公主不会死去，但她会沉睡一百年，直到她的真爱出现。”

To save the princess, the king ordered that all the spindles in the kingdom be burned. And no one was allowed to tell the princess the evil fairy's curse. Years passed, and the princess grew up. The blessings of the good fairies all came true. The princess was very beautiful, clever, kind and gentle. Everyone loved her.

为了救公主，国王下令把全国的纺车，纺锤全部烧掉。 并且不允许任何人向公主提起邪恶仙女的诅咒。 一年一年过去，小公主渐渐长大。善良仙女们的祝福也一个接着一个地实现。 小公主是那么聪明美丽、温柔善良，所有人都喜欢她。

Soon, the princess became fifteen years old. On the morning of her birthday, the princess got up very early. She walked around the castle alone. At last, she came to an old tower. She walked up to the top of the tower. Then she saw a door. " What's in there?" the princess said to herself. She opened the door and saw an old woman inside.

转眼间，就到了公主十五岁的生日。在她生日的那天早上，小公主起得很早。 她独自在城堡里散步。最后，她来到了一座古老的塔楼。 她走到塔顶。然后她看到一扇门。 "屋子里是什么呢?"公主自言自语道。她打开门，发现里面坐着一个老太婆。
