«Спящая красавица» — это сказка о прекрасной принцессе, которую злая фея заколдовала, заставив её уснуть на сто лет. Когда принцесса родилась, король и королева пригласили всех фей на праздник, но одна злая фея не была приглашена и, в гневе, наложила заклятие: в день своего шестнадцатилетия принцесса уколется о веретено и уснёт. Но добрая фея смягчила заклятие, сказав, что принцесса проснётся, когда её поцелует истинная любовь. В день своего рождения принцесса действительно укололась и уснула. Вокруг замка выросли колючие кусты, и многие принцы пытались пробраться к ней, но не могли. Спустя сто лет один смелый принц нашёл путь сквозь тернии и, увидев спящую красавицу, поцеловал её. Принцесса проснулась, и вместе они праздновали свою любовь и счастье. Сказка учит нас о силе любви и о том, что добро всегда побеждает зло.
