The two live happily ever after.Īnd yet this is only half the story.

But the power of good endures, as her true love defeats the fire-breathing dragon and awakens the princess with true love's first kiss. Though her three good fairies try to protect her, the princess succumbs to the curse. But always the maiden finds out that she is a princess-a princess who has been cursed by a dark fairy to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into an eternal sleep. The story has been told many times and in many ways. The tale is told as if it's happening once upon a dream: the lovely maiden meets her handsome prince in the woods.
