Eventually, however, was the daughter of the queen. And 'baptism was a very fine, 2, and the princess was his godmothers3 all the fairies they could find the whole kingdom (they found seven), 4 that each of them could give him a gift, as was customary in those 5 do days. In this way, the princess had all perfections6 imaginable.
After the ceremonies of baptism was over, the whole company returned to the royal palace, where he prepared a great feast for the fairies. It was placed before each of them a magnificent cover with a case of solid gold, which was a spoon, knife and fork, all of pure gold set with diamonds and rubies.7 But when they are sitting table they saw come into play in the lobby of a very old fairy, whom they had not invited because he was 50 years ago, she was out for a particular round, and it was believed to be dead or enchanted.
The king ordered him to cover, but could not give a gold case than any other, because they were only seven out of seven fairies. Passionate Fairy old was despised, and muttered some threats between her teeth. One of the young fairies who sat in his audience as he grunted, and, judging that he could give the little princess some unlucky gift, went as soon as they rose from the table, and hid behind the curtains, he could speak last, and repair, as far as he can be, that the evil old Fairy might intend.
Meanwhile all the fairies began to give their gifts to the princess. The youngest gave her for gift that she would be the most beautiful person in the world, 8 the next day, she is astute enough of an Angel, 9 Third, it should have a grace10 wonderful in everything she did, the fourth she had to dance, 11, fifth, she sings like a nightingale, 12 and the sixth, it must play all kinds of music13 to the greatest perfection.
In turn, the old fairy who came later, with a shaking head in disgust over that age, said the princess must have her hand pierced with a spindle14 and die of the wound .15 This terrible gift shook the entire company, and around the world began to mourn.
At this very moment the young fairy came out from behind the curtains, and uttered these words aloud:

"I assure you, O King and Queen, that your daughter did not die of this disaster. It 'true, I do not have the power to undo entirely what my eldest has done. The Princess is really pierce the hand with a spindle, But instead of dying, it's just to share a deep sleep, 16, who in the last hundred years, to 17 years of the end of which the king son18 come to wake her. "
The king, to avoid the misfortune foretold by the old fairy, caused immediately proclamation to be issued, where everybody was forbidden, on pain of death, to turn aside with a distaff and spindle, or to have as much as a pin in their homes. About fifteen or sixteen years19 after the king and queen went to their country houses, the young princess was one day to turn away from up and down the palace, when one goes from one apartment to the another, she entered a small room at the top of the tower, where a good old, only 20, turned with his spit. This good woman had never heard of the proclamation of the king against spindles.21
"What are you doing there, goody?" Said the princess.
"I am spinning, my pretty boy," said the old woman, who knew who he was.
"Ha!" the princess said, "This is a very nice, how you do it? Give it to me, that I may see if I can do."
She had just put in hand as if they are very fast on it, a little awkward, or that the decree of the fairy had so ordained so he ran in his hand and she fell into a swoon.22
The good old, who do not know very well what to do in this case called for help. People came from all sides in large numbers, and they threw water on the face of the Princess, unlaced her, struck her on 23 palms of his hands and rubbed his temples with Hungary water, 24 but nothing to bring it to herself.
And now the king, who came to the noise, bethought himself of the prediction of the fairies, and judging that it must necessarily pass, when the fairies had said, caused the Princess to be carried out in the best apartment in his palace, and to be put in a bed all embroidered with gold and silver.
