Once upon a time, a feast was held to celebrate the birth of Princess Briar Rose. All fairies in the kingdom were invited except for one that could not be found. The fairies gave the princess gifts of beauty, grace, and wit.
The uninvited fairy arrived upset and cursed the baby that she would prick her finger on a spindle and fall dead on her 15th birthday.
The 4th fairy changed the spell that she shall sleep for 100 years, to be awakened by true loves first kiss.
