睡美人的英语故事篇一

A long time ago and far away there lived a King and a Queen .They were very happy, for their first child, a girl, had been born.

" We must have a grand christening for her," said the King , who was delighted to have a daughter.

"We must invite all the fairies of the kingdom to bless her," said the Queen.

"How many are there now ?" asked the King.

"Twelve or thirteen," said his wife. "Send the invitations . We'll soon find out ."

There were twelve fairies, and they were all sent invitations. A thirteen fairy had not been heard of for so long that it was presumed that she was dead. No invitation was sent. The day of the christening was sunny and bright. The Princes was named Briar Rose, and the fairies began to give their gifts.

"She shall be beautiful, "said the first.

"She shall be wise ,"said the second.

"She shall be good,"said the third.

"She shall be kind ," said the fourth.

The gifts continued in this way, wishing all that was good for Briar Rose. Eleven of the twelve fairies had given their gifts when the room suddenly went dark. After a great flash of light a small dark figure stood in front of the King and Queen.

It was the thirteenth fairy.

"why wasn't I invited to the christening?" she screamed.

She was furious at being left out.

"All the fairies of the kingdom have given their blessings. Well, here's mine for the Princess. On her sixteentth birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die."

Another flash of light and the fairy was gone.

"But we thought she was dead," said the King. "What can we do ?"

The Queen was in tears.

The twelfth fairy stepped forward.

There is still my gift for Briar Rose," she said. "The fairy's curse cannot be undone, but I can change it a little. She will fall into a deep sleep that will last one hundred years," There was a great hubbub in the hall as everyone discussed the events.

The following day the King issued a proclamation, ordering that all spinning wheels and spindles were to be destroyed. Throughout the land there were great fires as the spinning wheels were burned.

很久很久以前,在一个遥远的地方,住着一位国王和一位王后,他们因为第一个孩子,一个女儿的诞生非常开心。

国王非常高兴有了一个女儿,说,“我们一定要给她举行一个盛大的洗礼仪式。”

王后说,“我们要邀请王国里所有的仙女来祝福她。”

国王问:“我们有多少仙女呢?”

他的妻子说,“十二个也不十三个。把邀请发出去我们很快就知道了。”

一共有十二位仙女,她们都收到了邀请。第十三位仙女早就没有消息了所以大家都认为她已经死了,没有邀请她。洗礼的那天阳光灿烂。这位公主被取名为布瑞尔•罗丝,仙女们开始送上礼物。

第一位仙女说,“她会非常漂亮的。”

第二位说,“她将非常聪明。”

第三位说,“她的一切将很美好。”

第四位说,“她将很善良。”

仙女们陆续送上礼物,把世上所有的美好的东西都送给了布莱尔•罗丝。第十一位仙女刚刚送上祝福后,房间突然变黑了。一道闪电之后,一个小黑人站在国王和王后面前。

正是第十三位仙女。

她尖叫道,“为什么我没有收到洗礼邀请?”

她因为被排除在外非常生气。

“所有的仙女都已经给出了祝福,下面是我的,在16岁生日的时候,公主将会被纺锤刺到手然后死去。”

又一道闪电之后,仙女离开了。

国王说,“我们还以为她已经死了,我们现在能怎么办呢?”

王后开始哭泣。

第十二位仙女走出来了。

她说,“我的祝福还没有送出,这位仙女的诅咒会实现的,但是我能做出一点改变。她会陷入沉睡,睡上一百年。”大厅里每个人都在谈论这件事情,非常吵闹。

第二天国王颁布一项公告,命令毁掉所有的纺车和纺锤。整个大地都是纺车被烧毁的火焰。

There were twelve fairies, and they were all sent invitations. A thirteen fairy had not been heard of for so long that it was presumed that she was dead. No invitation was sent. The day of the christening was sunny and bright. The Princes was named Briar Rose, and the fairies began to give their gifts.

It was the thirteenth fairy.

"why wasn`t I invited to the christening?" she screamed.

She was furious at being left out.

"All the fairies of the kingdom have given their blessings. Well, here`s mine for the Princess. On her sixteenth birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die."

Another flash of light and the fairy was gone.

"But we thought she was dead," said the King. "What can we do ?"

The Queen was in tears.

The twelfth fairy stepped forward.

There is still my gift for Briar Rose," she said. "The fairy`s curse cannot be undone, but I can change it a little. She will fall into a deep sleep that will last one hundred years," There was a great hubbub in the hall as everyone discussed the events.

The following day the King issued a proclamation, ordering that all spinning wheels and spindles were to be destroyed. Throughout the land there were great fires as the spinning wheels were burned.

Over the years, the Princess grew into a lovely girl. All who met her were enchanted by her.

Eventually, the bad fairy`s wish was forgotten. All spinning wheels and spindles had been destroyed ,so there was no reminder. And the fairy was not heard of again.

And so, on Briar Rose`s sixteenth birthday, the King and Queen were due to arrive back from a far away visit. There was to be a large birthday party for the Princess.

Briar Rose was wandering around the palace. Everyone was preparing for the party, so she could please herself where she went. As had never set foot in, she foot in, she decided to go exploring.

"I wonder what is in the great South Tower," she said. All the servants and courtiers wished her a happy birthday as she made her way across the palace.

That part of the palace was very old, and there were very few people there. The base of the tower was in a corridor. The entrance was a small, very solid looking door. The key was on the outside.

"It`s very stiff ,"said the Princess, as she turned the key. "There! It`s open!"

Stairs led up the tower in front of her .She began to climb them.

Meanwhile, her parents had arrived back at the palace.

"Has anyone seen the Princess?" asked the King.

"Today is her sixteenth birthday-the day when the curse may fall. Somebody must know where she is."

Nearly everyone had seen her, but nobody knew where she had been going.

"She must be found," said the Queen. "If the prophecy is to come true, today is the day."

A search of the palace and the grounds began.

Meanwhile, the Princess had reached the top of the tower where there was another door . This time there was no key and the door was slightly open.

"There must be a wonderful view of the rest of the palace and grounds from the window, "said the Princess . Then she heard a strange whirring sound. It was unlike anything that she had ever heard before.

She pushed the door open and went into the room. There, in the middle, sat an old woman working at a spinning wheel. Behind her was an enormous bed.

The wheel was making the noise.

"What are you doing?" asked Briar Rose. "I have never seen one of those before, what is it?"

"It is a spinning wheel, "said the old women, "Would you like to try it my dear?"

"Oh. may I?" asked Briar Rose.

She sat on the stool in front of the wheel and the wheel whirred round. As soon as she touched the spindle she pricked her finger. She fell to the floor in a deep sleep. The old woman, who was really the thirteenth fairy in disguise, picked her up and laid her on the bed.

At that moment, all over the place, people began to asleep. The cooks who were preparing for the party fell asleep over the stirring and tasting. The scullery maids fell asleep over the washing up. The laundry maid fell asleep while they dusted, polished and prepared for the party.

The King and Queen, the courtiers and the guests fell asleep in the Great Hall. The guards fell asleep at their posts. The search parties looking for the Princess fell asleep while they searched- in the gardens, in the corridors, in the spare rooms, and some in the oldest part of the palace.

Even the flies fell asleep on the stable walls. The birds and the butterflies fell asleep in the palace the palace vegetable gardens. The gardeners and their helpers, who were busy chasing off the rabbit, fell asleep in mid-chase.

In the hearths the fires died down and the meat stopped cooking. The kitchen maid stopped plucking the chicken.

The entire palace fell asleep, along with the Princess.

A hedge of briar roses sprang up around the palace, protecting it from the outside world.

Years passed, and from time to time a King`s son would come to the famous briar hedge to try and find the mysterious sleeping Princess that the legend spoke of. But none got through. The hedge was too strong and the Princes were cut to bits.

A hundred years passed and the tale of the Sleeping Beauty, as the Princess was known, become a great legend. Very few people believed she existed.

One day a King`s son came to the nearby village.

"Legend says," an old man was speaking in the village square. "Legend says that the Princess lies asleep behind that great briar hedge just outside the village In my grandfather`s day, you could see the topmost turret of her tower, so they say."

The Prince stopped to listen. "Where can I find this hedge ?"he asked.

"Just beyond the village, young sir, "said the old man. "If you`re going to try, you`ll need more luck than the other young men who have had a go."

"I shall try," said the Prince. "We have heard of Sleeping Beauty in my kingdom."

The Prince went to the hedge and held up his sword. He went to strike at the hedge, but where his sword met the thorns, great roses bloomed instead. A path opened for him, for the one hundred years were up. The curse was lifting.

The hedge seemed to disappear before him.

He went through into the palace grounds, walking past the sleeping rabbits, birds and butterflies, and the gardeners at their work. The kitchens were full of cooks and maids who hadn`t moved for a hundred years -- They were all fast asleep. Even the King and Queen who were seated at the table in the Great Hall were sleeping soundly!

The Prince walked on through the palace, making his way to the tallest tower where he climbed the stairs and entered the tower room.

There on the bed he saw Briar Rose fast asleep.

"She is so lovely," he said, He had fallen completely in love with her. "How can I wake her?"

He leant over and gently kissed her.

Briar Rose`s eyelids flickered and she woke up. The first person she saw was the Prince and she fell in love with him.

Together they walked down to the Great Hall. The King and Queen were just waking up, when the Prince and Briar Rose entered.

The cooks in the kitchen woke up to carry on preparing the food and the chambermaids carried on with their work.

The party was still to be held, but it was an engagement party instead of a birthday party. The Prince and Briar Rose were to be married.

The hedge disappeared and the village saw the palace again and realised the legend had been true.

The bad fairy was never heard of again.

以前,有个国王和王后一直没有孩子,他们为此非常伤心苦恼。有一天,王后正在河边散步,一条小鱼把头浮出水面对她说:“你的愿望就会实现了,不久你就会生下一个女儿的。”过了一段时间,那条小鱼所预言的情况真的实现了,王后真的生下了一个非常漂亮的女儿。国王高兴得时时刻刻爱不释手,决定举行一个大型宴会。他不仅邀请了他的亲戚、朋友和外宾,而且邀来了几乎所有的女巫师,让她们为他的女儿送来善良美好的祝愿。他的王国里一共有十三个女巫师,而他只有十二个金盘子来招待她们进餐,所以他只邀请了十二个女巫师,留下一个没有邀请。

盛大的宴会结束后,各位来宾都给这个小公主送上了最好的礼物。女巫师们一个送给她美德,另一个送给她美貌,还有一个送给她富有,她们把世人所希望的,世上所有的优点和期盼都送给了她。当第十一个女巫师刚刚为她祝福之后,第十三个女巫师,也就是那个没有被邀请的女巫师走了进来,她对没有被邀请感到非常愤怒,她要对此进行报复,要献上她恶毒的咒语。所以她进来后就大声叫道:“国王的女儿在十五岁时会被一个纺锤弄伤,最后死去。”所有在场的人都大惊失色。可是第十二个女巫师还没有献上她的礼物,便走上前来说:“这个凶险的咒语的确会应验,但公主能够化险为夷。她不会死去,而只是昏睡过去,而且一睡就是一百年。”

国王为了不使他的女儿遭到那种不幸,命令将王国里的所有纺锤都收上来,又把它们全部销毁。随着时间的流逝,女巫师们的所有祝福都在公主身上应验了:她聪明美丽,性格温柔,举止优雅,真是人见人爱。但恰恰在她十五岁的那一天,国王和王后都不在家,公主单独一个人被留在王宫里。她在宫里到处穿来穿去,大小房间都看完了,最后,她来到了一个古老的宫楼。宫楼里面有一座很狭窄的楼梯,楼梯尽头有一扇门,门上插着一把金钥匙。当她转动金钥匙时,门一下子就弹开了,一个老太婆坐在里面在忙着纺纱。公主见了说道:“喂!老妈妈,您好!您这是在干什么呀?”“纺纱。”老太婆回答说,接着又点了点头。

“这小东西转起来真有意思!”说着,公主上前也想拿起纺锤纺纱,但她刚一碰到它,立即就倒在地上失去了知觉,以前的咒语真的应验了。

然而,她并没有死,只是倒在那里沉沉地睡去了。国王和王后正在这时回来了,他们刚走进大厅也跟着睡着了;马厩里的马,院子里的狗,屋顶上的鸽子,墙上的苍蝇,也都跟着睡着了;甚至连火炉里的火也停止燃烧入睡了;烧烤的肉不炸响了;厨师此刻正抓住一个做错了事的童工的头发,要给他一耳光,让他滚出去,他们两个也定在那儿睡过去了。所有的一切都不动了,全都沉沉地睡去。

不久,王宫的四周长出了一道蒺藜组成的大篱笆,年复一年,它们越长越高,越长越茂密,最后竟将整座宫殿遮得严严实实,甚至连屋顶和烟囱也看不见了。

于是,关于这个王国流传开了这样一个传说,一个漂亮的正在睡觉的公主的传说,人们所说的公主其实就是国王的女儿。从那以后,有不少王子来探险,他们披荆斩棘想穿过树篱到王宫里去,但都没有成功,不是被蒺藜缠住就是被树丛?倒在里面,就像是有无数只手牢牢地抓住他们难以脱身一样,他们最终都痛苦地死去。

许多许多年过去了,一天,又有一位王子踏上了这块土地。一位老大爷向他讲起了蒺藜树丛的故事,说树篱之内有一座漂亮的王宫,王宫里有一位仙女般的公主,她的名字叫玫瑰公主,她和整座王宫及里面的人都在沉睡。他还说,他曾听他的爷爷谈起有许许多多的王子来过这儿,他们都想穿过树篱,但都被缠在里面死去了。听了这些,这位王子说:“所有这些都吓不倒我,我要看玫瑰公主去!”老人劝他不要去试,可他却坚持要去。

这天,时间正好过去了一百年,所以当王子来到树篱丛时,他看到的全是盛开着美丽花朵的灌木,他很轻松地就穿过了树篱。随着他在前面走,身后树篱又密密地合拢了。最后,他到达了王宫,看见大院内狗躺在那儿沉睡,马厩里的马在沉睡,屋顶上的鸽子将头埋在翅膀下沉睡。他走进王宫内,看见墙上的苍蝇在沉睡,厨房里的厨师向上举着手,似乎是要打那童工一耳光,一个女仆手里抓着一只黑母鸡准备拔毛。

他继续向里寻去,一切都静得出奇,连自己的呼吸都清晰可闻。终于,他来到古老的宫楼,推开了玫瑰公主在的那个小房间的门。玫瑰公主睡得正香,她是那么美丽动人,他瞪大眼睛,连眨也舍不得眨一下,看着看着,禁不住俯下身去吻了她一下。就这一吻,玫瑰公主一下子苏醒过来,她张开双眼,微笑着充满深情地注视着他,王子抱着她一起走出了宫楼。

此刻,国王和王后也醒过来了,王宫里所有的人都醒过来了。他们怀着极大的好奇心互相凝视着,似乎还不明白到底发生了什么事情。马站了起来,摇摆着身体;狗儿欢跳不止,汪汪吠叫;鸽子由翅膀下抬起了头,昂首四顾,振翅飞向田野;墙上的苍蝇嗡嗡地飞了开去;厨房里的火又窜起了火苗开始烧饭,烧烤的肉又吱吱作响;厨师怒吼着扇了童工一个耳光;女仆继续给鸡拔毛,一切都恢复了往日的模样。不久,王子和玫瑰公主举行了盛大的结婚典礼,他们幸福欢乐地生活在一起,一直白头到老。

睡美人的英语故事篇三

Once there was a King and a Queen. For many years they had wanted a child, and no child had come to them.

Then the Queen had a child. It was a girl. The King was very glad.

You know what a fairy is. Many fairies lived near the King's house. When the Queen's child came, the King went to all the fairies and said, "The Queen has a child. Do come to the house and see our new little girl." All the fairies said, "We are very glad: we will come today ."

One of the fairies had gone away on a journey: she had been very far away. She had not come back when the Queen’s child came. When she came back, one of the fairies said to her, "The Queen has a child, and the King came to us and said, "Come and see our new little girl. ""

But this fairy was a bad fairy; the bad fairy said, "The King went to all of you: why did he not come to me? I shall go and see the King’s child; but I shall give her some bad thing."

All the good fairies went to the King’s house, and saw the little girl; and they all gave her some good thing. One said, "I give her this good thing: she shall have riches." One fairy said, "I give her this good thing; she shall become a brave woman." One said, "I give her this good thing: she shall become a good woman." All gave some good thing.

Then there came the bad fairy. She said, "The King went to all the fairies but he did not come to me, so I shall give the child some bad thing. She will have riches; she will become brave; she will become good. But, when she is a woman, she will prick her hand with a needle, and die."

The poor Queen did not know what to do. The King said to the good fairies, "The poor girl shall not die. Can you not help me? Say that she shall not die!" The good fairies said, " We cannot help you. What the bad fairy has said will come. Your child will prick her hand with a needle; but she shall not die. She shall sleep for many years. Then a king’s son shall come and kiss her. And she will awake. He shall wake her with a kiss." Then the fairies went away.

The King sent for all his men and all the Queen’s women, and said, "Go and bring me all the needles that are in the house."

They brought all the needles that they could find, and the King took them, and threw them into a river far away.

Then he said, "See that no needle comes into this house. See that no man and no woman brings a needle near my child. I shall kill them if they do."

The little child grew up in the King’s house. She became a Princess. The Princess wanted to see all that she could. She wanted to know what the men were doing in the garden. She wanted to know the names of all the flowers and of all the trees. She said to the men in the King’s garden, "What is the name of this flower? What is the name of this tree?" In the house she wanted to see all that there was to see.

She wanted to know how many rooms there were in the King’s house, and who lived in all the rooms. So she went into one room, and then into another room, and then into another. She went into big rooms and little rooms, and very little rooms. Then she said, "I have been to all the rooms in the house." But there was one room where she had not gone.

As she went on, she came to a new room. It was a little room very far away from all the other rooms. The door of the room was shut. The Princess wanted to go in and see what was in this room. She called, "Open the door!" But no one came. She called once. She called twice; then the door was opened. The Princess went into the room: and there she saw a very old woman.

The old woman was sitting near a table. On the table there was some cloth. The old woman had some cloth in one hand, and in the other hand she had a needle.

The Princess said, "What are you doing?"

"I am making something," said the old woman.

"What are you making?" said the Princess.

"I am making some clothes," said the old woman.

“What is that in your hand?" said the Princess.

"That is the cloth," said the old woman.

"No!" said the Princess. "What is that in your other hand?"

"That?" said the old woman. "That is a needle."

The Princess said, "Give me the ’needle’; I want to see it. I have not seen a needle. I do not know what a needle is."

The old woman said, "Have you not seen a needle? How can that be? You have seen many needles! Needles are seen in all houses."

The old woman gave the needle to the Princess.

"Give me the cloth," said the Princess: ’I want to make clothes." Then the old woman gave the Princess the cloth.

The Princess pricked the cloth with the needle --but she pricked her hand. And she fell asleep!

Then all the men and the women in the house fell asleep. The King fell asleep at his table, and the Queen sitting near him fell asleep.

The man in the garden fell asleep with his axe in his hand. The man standing at the door of the house fell asleep where he stood. All were asleep.

A fairy came to the Princess. She took her and put her on a bed. Then the fairy said to the trees and to the flowers in the garden, " Grow!" The flowers grew up, and the trees grew big. There was a wall of trees and flowers. So no one could go into the house.

In the house the Princess slept; and the King slept, and all his men; and the Queen, and her women, slept.

Many wanted to go into the house of the Sleeping Princess; but they could not go through the trees. So no one came.

Years went by, and the Princess slept. Many years went by, and men did not know what the house was and who was in it. The trees grew up; you could not see the house through the trees. Men went by the trees and did not know that there was a house there.

One day a King rode into the forest. His son was with him. The King and his men went far in front, and the King’s son could not find them. He rode on, and he came to a wall of trees and flowers. He said, "My father has gone through those trees: I will go through them and find him."

As he came to the wall of trees, it opened, and he went through. Then he saw a garden; but all the flowers had grown here and there as they wanted.

He came to a house. The door was open, a man was standing by the door asleep. the King’s son said, "What a lazy man, he sleeps standing!" He went into the house. Men sat at the table, with food in their hands, asleep.

A little boy had been reading a story: he had fallen asleep with his head on his arms. A woman had been putting on her shoes; she was asleep with one shoe on and one shoe in her hand. An old man sat with pen and paper, asleep; and the dust of years was on his paper. Near him a woman was asleep with her little child asleep in her arms.

The King’s son went from one room to another. He saw the old King asleep at his table, and near him the Queen asleep with her head in her hands. Then he came to a room where there was sunlight and flowers. The window was open and roses had grown in through the window into the room. Golden light came through the window and fell upon a bed. The Princess was on the bed. Her eyes were shut. She was asleep.

The King’s son kissed her. She awoke. Then all the house awoke. The man awoke at the door. The men awoke and ate the food in their hands. The woman awoke and put on her shoe. The boy awoke and read his story. The King awoke at his table. The Queen rubbed her eyes, and said, "What were you saying, my King. I fell asleep."

The Princess was married by the King’s son, and they became King and Queen.

睡美人

(一)

从前,有一位国王和一位王后,多年来他们一直希望有个小孩,但他们还是没有孩子。

后来,王后有了一个孩子,是女孩,国王十分高兴。

你知道仙女是什么。很多仙女住在王宫附近。当王后的小孩出世后,国王去告诉所有的仙女说:“王后生了一个孩子,你们一定到王宫来,看看我们刚出世的小女孩。”仙女们说:“我们很高兴,今天我们一定去看看。”

她们当中有一位仙女已经出门旅行去了,她已经到了很远的地方。王后的小孩出世时她还没有回来。当她回来后,一位仙女对她说:“王后生了一个女孩,国王来告诉过我们说,‘来看看我们刚出世的小女孩’。”

可是,这位仙女是一个坏仙女。坏仙女说:“国王来告诉你们大家,但为什么就不来告诉我呢?我一定要去看看国王的孩子,我要给她咒一些坏事。”

好的仙女们来到了王宫,见到了小女孩,她们大家都给她说了些吉利的话。一位说:“我给她这样吉利的话:她一定会发财。”一位说:“我给她这样吉利的话:她一定会成为一位勇敢的女性。”一位说:“我给她这样吉利的话:她一定会成为一名好女人。”大家都说了些吉利的话。

然后,坏仙女来到这里,她说:“国王去告诉了所有的仙女,他就是不来告诉我。所以,我要给小孩咒一些坏事。她会发财,会成为一名勇敢的女性,也会成为一名好女人。但是,当她成年后,她将用针刺破手而死去。”

可怜的王后不知道如何是好。国王对那些好仙女说:“这可怜的女孩子不能死,你们不能帮助我吗?求你们说一声她不会死去!”

好的仙女们说:“我们不能帮助您,坏仙女所预言的必将应验,你的孩子将会用针刺破手,但是,她不一定死,她要沉睡很多年。然后,有一位王子会来吻她,她将会醒来。他的吻会把她唤醒。”然后,仙女们走了。

国王叫来他的所有男仆和王后的所有女仆,说:“去把房间里所有的针都给我搜罗来。”他们去把所有能够找到的针都拿来了,然后,国王拿着这些针,把它们扔到很远的一条河里去了。

接着他说:“千万注意,别让一枚针进到这所房子里来。还要注意,谁也不准带着针靠近我的孩子。如果他们敢这样做,我就杀了他们。”

(二)

小女孩在王宫里长大了,她成为一名公主。凡是能看到的东西,公主都想看看。她想知道在花园里的人正在干什么;她要知道所有的树木和花的名字。在花园里她问花匠:“这是朵什么花?这是棵什么树?”凡是房子里能够见到的她都要看看。

她要知道王宫里有多少间房间,所有的房间都有谁住着,她一间接一间的进去看看,她进了大房间、小房间和很小的房间。然后,她说:“我已经走遍了这所房子里的所有房间。”但是,有一间屋子她没有去过。

她继续走,来到一间陌生的屋子,这间小屋子离其它房间很远。这间屋的门关着,公主要进去看看这间屋子里有什么。她就喊:“开门!”但没人出来,她喊了一遍后,又喊了一遍,这时门打开了,公主走进屋里,在这里她发现一位很老的老太太。

老太太正坐在桌子旁,桌子上有一些布,老太太一手拿着一些布,另一只手拿着一枚针。

公主问:“你在做什么?”

“我正在做活儿,”老太太说。

“你在做什么活儿?”公主问。

“我正在做衣服,”老太太说。

“你手里拿着什么?”公主问。

“那是布,”老太太说。

“不是!”公主说,“另一只手里是什么?”

“这?”老太太说,“这是一枚针。”

公主说:“把‘针’给我,我要看看它,我没有见过针,不知道针是什么。”

老太太说:“你从没有见过针?那怎么可能呢?你见过的针多着哩!家家户户都可以见到针。”

老太太把针给了公主。

“把布给我,”公主说,“我要做衣服。”这时,老太太把布给了公主。

公主用针扎布——然而,她刺了自己的手,接着她睡过去了。

然后,房子里的男男女女都睡着了。国王趴在桌上睡着了,王后坐在他身旁睡着了。

在花园里的花匠拿着斧头睡着了,大门旁的门房站着睡着了,所有的人都睡着了。

一位仙女来到公主面前,她抱起公主,把她放在床上。然后,仙女对花园里的树和花说:“快长!”花儿长起来了,树儿长大了,于是出现了一堵由树和花组成的墙。这样,没有人能走进这所房子了。

在这所房子里,公主睡着,国王王后睡着,男仆女仆也都睡着。

(三)

许多人想进入睡美人的房子,但是,人们穿不过树墙,所以没有一个人来过。

年复一年,公主长眠不醒。很多年过去了,人们不知道这所房子里发生了什么事情,不知道谁住在里面。树儿长高了,你通过树丛看不到房子,人们从树丛旁走过,不晓得这里有一座房子。

一天,一位国王骑马进了森林,王子也随同他前往。国王和他的仆人在前面走得很远(把王子抛在后面),王子找不到他们了。王子骑着骑着,来到了花树墙前,心想:“父王已经穿过那片树丛,我要穿过去,找到他们。”

他走到树墙前,树丛打开了一条路,他穿了过去。这时,他发现一个花园,然而,所有的花草却长得杂乱无章,遍地皆是。

他来到一座房子前,门开着,一个男人正站在门旁睡着,王子说:“多懒的人啊,他站着都睡着了!”他走进房屋,一些人坐在桌旁,手里拿着吃的睡着。

一个小男孩正在看书上的一个故事,他头枕着胳膊睡着了。一位妇女正在穿鞋,她脚上穿着一只鞋,手中拿着一只鞋睡着。一位老人也坐那儿睡着,旁边是笔和纸,而纸上都是陈年积土,他旁边一个妇女怀抱着熟睡的孩子睡着。

王子从一间屋走到另一间屋,他发现以前的国王在桌旁睡着,在他身旁王后双手抱着头睡着。然后,他来到一间有花和有阳光的屋子,窗户开着,玫瑰花已经从外爬进了窗户,长满了房间。金色的阳光透过窗户洒落在床上,公主躺在床上,她的眼睛闭着,也睡着。

王子吻了她,她醒了过来。随即整座房子里的人都醒了。门口的人醒了;一些手里拿着吃的人醒了;妇女醒了,穿上了她的鞋;男孩醒了,看他的故事。在桌旁的国王醒了,王后揉了揉眼睛,说:“国王,你刚才说什么来着?我睡着了。”

公主嫁给了王子,他们成为国王和王后。
