*Sleeping Beauty* Book review 2-1

I read ‘Sleeping Beauty’ today. There were about 1oo words what I didn’t know. I could understand almost of the story though I have to study vocabulary hard. (>_<)


Long years ago, a king and a queen lived in a magical castle of their country. They didn’t have a baby. They were sad because they had had no baby for a long time. One day, the queen sat knitting by the lake. Then, a green flog came onto her lap and said ‘You are going to have a baby this year.’ Some months later, a lovely baby girl was boned. They were very pleased. Her name is Rose.


The king invited many prince and princess and seven fairies were invited to come and give wishes for the baby. On the day of the feast, the guests arrived. Seven fairies came to the castle to give some wishes for her. Each fairy gave wishes to her. The wishes were so good things for her life. When the last fairy Jasmine tried to do that, the mean fairy Nightshade appeared suddenly. She was mad because she wasn’t invite in the feast. Also she wished for the baby though it was not good thing. ‘On Rose’s sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and she will die.’ She said like that. The last fairy Jasmine still had a wish but she couldn’t undo such a wicked spell. She could just change it. Rose and everyone else in the castle will fall into a deep sleep and a kiss from her true love will makes them up. After that the king burned all spinning wheels in the land.


Six years later, rose had grown up. She became a delightful girl and dreamed her prince. The king and queen were planning a huge ball for her. The day of the ball, handsome people came into the Great hall. During the feast, she began Hide-and-seek and went to a top of the turret. Inside the heavy iron door, an old women sat hunched a spinning wheel. Unfortunately, she had never seen the spinning wheel so she wanted to try it and then she pricked her finger and fall asleep. Everyone fall asleep either. For a long time everyone was sleeping. Some prince tried to help them but it was too hard for the princes.


One day, Florien who is a brave prince tried to help them too and he did finally!! He kissed rose and she woke up. Then everyone in the castle woke up too. The very next year, they got marry and lived happily!


The illustration of this book was very pretty. So I choose the book. I had known the story a little and I could make sure it. I like this book because what is a thing woke her up is a kiss from true love. It is really romantic, isn’t it?? And the bad fairy Nightshade was so mean that’s why she wasn’t invited to the feast! I thought.
