Usnula ljepotica
Charles Perrault
This fairy tale is about a royal couple who could not have children. After much effort, the queen gave birth to a beautiful daughter.
The seven benevolent fairies gave the princess different qualities, but the old fairy, who appeared after fifty years, cursed the princess that she would impale herself on a spindle and fall asleep for a hundred years.
A fairy family adopted a little abandoned faun, even though the fairies and the fauns are in a terrible feud. The story talks about the beauty of reconciliation, the harmfulness of unreasonable, long-lasting anger and accepting others without prejudice.
