Breaking the Mother Goose Code Quotes

“The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood A mother bears a beautiful daughter who is cursed by an old fairy: the daughter will grow up, prick her hand on a spindle, and die. A young fairy modifies the curse: Beauty will not die, but only sleep until a prince kisses her. They marry, but the prince’s mother, an ogre, tries to kill Sleeping Beauty and her children; the ogress fails and the prince kills his mother.”
