At the birthday party, the eleventh fairy had just finished blessing when the thirteenth fairy appeared. "In order to punish you for not inviting me. The child died when he touched the tip of the spindle at the age of fifteen! "

On this day, the princess was fifteen years old. The whole country is busy celebrating her birthday. But she felt bored. What hasn't she seen yet?

She came to a strange room and saw a strange old woman busy with a strange thing. "Girl, do you want to try?" The old woman is the thirteenth fairy. She handed the spindle to the princess.

The spell worked. As soon as the princess touched the spindle tip, she fell to the ground and fell asleep. Her whole kingdom fell asleep with her.
