La Belle au bois dormant

A very powerful king gave a great [festivity] in honour of the birth of a princess. He invited all the great dignitaries of his kingdom, as well as the fairies from round about, but unfortunately he forgot one, the most wicked of them all, the fairy Carabosse. She was not long in appearing at the feat and predicted that when she was fifteen years of age, the young girl would prick her finger at a spinning wheel and fall in a trance for a hundred years when a prince, a king's son would awake her.
