Princess and the Magical Ring

One fine day, the princess of the kingdom of Norfolk found a ring while in the palace’s garden. When she inquired about the ring with her father, he informed her that it would bring her five special powers:

The ability to get sound sleep.
The ability to make fire without a flint.
The ability to grow any crop of her choice.
The ability to make it rain even without clouds in the sky.
The ability to sing like an enchanted siren.

The fifth was the princess’ most enjoyed power. She would keep singing for long, hoping that someday, a charming prince would fall for her beautiful voice.

One dark day, the kingdom got jinxed with a witch’s spell. It affected everyone except the princess. The witch deprived the kingdom of everything it had, including fire, the sun, the rains, and the crops. The miserable state of her country saddened the princess. But, all she had to help her kingdom were her five special powers! A spontaneous idea popped into her mind – she rushed to the balcony and started singing. The princess sang for months, all day and night. She didn’t stop even when her parents asked her. After about a year of singing, the kingdom normalised. But simultaneously, the princess disappeared in the winds. The kingdom was restored to its original glory because of the princess’ sacrifices.

2. The Lonely Princess

The Kingdom of Glora was home to Princess Isabella, a friendly young lady who was loved by the whole kingdom. She had two elder sisters, Rose and Juliette, but she was nothing like them. Rose was quite charming, but she was no match to Juliette. Nevertheless, they were both mean to Isabella because they were considered conventionally beautiful. They teased Isabella for her plain appearance and simplicity, and always made fun of her for playing with her toys. They coaxed her to dress up more, but Isabella paid no heed to her sisters and continued to play with her toys. She loved her dolls as they never called her names, but she often felt lonely. King Paul, her father, was distressed at the sorrow of his youngest child, and although he tried to spend his free time with her, he was often called away for extended periods because of his royal duties.

On a bright summer morning, the prince of the Kingdom of Meadow-Hill, Geoffrey, arrived in the Kingdom of Glora, seeking a bride. He was a year younger than Juliette, a year older than Rose, and two years older than Isabella. All the sisters were eager to meet the handsome prince. Prince Geoffrey first spoke to Juliette, praising her beautiful tresses. Flattered, Juliette told him how lovingly she took care of her hair. Geoffrey soon got tired of the conversation and tried to strike a conversation with Rose. To impress the young prince, Rose began describing her father’s court and talking about all the famous personalities in it. When Prince Geoffrey could hear no more, he decided to meet Isabella. As soon as he met her, he was awestruck by her beauty. Juliette and Rose scoffed at Isabelle, berating her unkempt hair. When the prince said she had beautiful eyes, both Rose and Juliette declared that all the sisters had beautiful eyes. Prince Geoffrey said, “She is blessed with beautiful eyes indeed. But she plays with toys!” Juliette countered, trying to make young Isabella appear childish. “So what? Even I like playing with dolls.” Taking out a small doll from his pocket, he introduced it to everyone as Jane, his oldest friend. Isabella, delighted, offered to introduce him to her friends. When he agreed, she led him into the garden, leaving behind her mean sisters.

3. The Princess and the Pea

There once lived a prince who was in search of a suitable princess. He travelled across the seven seas in search of the right one, but he wasn’t sure if the princesses he met were genuine. Disheartened, he eventually returned home.

One evening, there was a terrible thunderstorm. Having heard a knock on the door, the queen went to open it. A princess was standing there in soiled and muddy clothes. Her hair looked dirty; she was thoroughly drenched, and her shoes were covered in mud. She claimed to be a real princess. “We’ll soon find out the truth,” said the queen. The queen went to the bedroom and took all the mattresses off the bed. She then placed a pea at the bottom and laid twenty mattresses on top of it. Next, she placed twenty feathered beds on top of the mattresses. The princess was asked to sleep on the bed for the night. In the morning, the queen questioned the princess about the quality of her sleep. The princess replied, “I just couldn’t sleep all night. God knows what, but there was something very hard on the bed.” The queen then understood that she was indeed a real princess, as only a real princess would feel the discomfort through the twenty mattresses and feathered beds. Knowing that she was a real princess, the prince took her as his wife.

4. The Princess and the Faithful Knight

Once upon a time, there was a princess whose beauty was the talk of not just her own, but many a land. As beautiful as she was, the princess had been raised to be fair and just. As the days went by, the happiness and the joy of her people became her only concern. One day, a prince arrived at the kingdom to court the princess. The two spent hours, days and weeks together. The princess had fallen in love with the charming prince.

One day, the prince took his princess to a shady grassland full of flowers located near the edge of the forest. He challenged the princess to pick out the rarest flower for him – the scarlet rose from the dense woods – if she truly loved him. The princess entered the woods to search for the scarlet rose. She loved the prince, and she would prove it to him. When she had almost given up, she saw a beautiful flower. The princess was fascinated by its beauty and reached out to touch it, but immediately fell asleep.

The prince suddenly appeared. He had planned to steal the riches and jewellery of the princess. He took the valuables and abandoned the princess. When the princess did not return to her father, the king sent his soldiers far and wide to look for her. After a long search, they discovered her in the meadow, covered in vine. His advisors discovered that she had touched a scarlet rose and thus couldn’t be awakened. The king tried every possible measure and potion to wake her up, but nothing helped.

The disheartened king made it known that anyone who could wait by the princesses’ side until she awoke would win her hand in marriage. Many suitors came drawn by the princesses’ beauty, but she slept on, unaware. As time passed, her beauty faded, as did most suitors, except for one- a knight who had knelt at the princess’ side and hadn’t moved since the time he had arrived. When the princess woke up, she saw the strong knight kneeling by her side. He told her about the poison and the king’s decree and declared his undying love for her. The king was overjoyed at having his daughter back, finding her a loving husband, and declared their wedding which took place the very next day.

5. Princess Rose and the Golden Bird

Long ago in a faraway land there lived a beautiful princess who had lovely red hair, and loved roses. Her name was princess Rose. Every evening, Princess Rose would come out on her balcony and clap her hands. On hearing her, a little golden bird would appear and sit on her shoulder. The princesses’ hair would have a beautiful red glow, and she and the bird would sing a lullaby that would put everyone in the kingdom to sleep.

One day, a jealous witch cast a spell on princess Rose and turned her lovely red hair black. That night, when the bird and the princess sang, the people of the kingdom had nightmares and bad dreams. The bird told the princess to wash her hair in rose water, and all would be well again. The princess washed her hair with rose water, and people of the kingdom slept well.

When the evil witch heard this, she turned princess Rose’s hair black again; and this time, she also made all the roses in the land disappear. As princess Rose wept in despair, a prince appeared with a strand of red hair. When her tears touched the hair, a beautiful red rose bloomed, and princess Rose was able to make her hair red again. The Prince revealed that he and the princess had exchanged a strand of hair as children as a sign of loyalty. .

The prince and princess Rose got married and lived happily ever after, and the evil witch was so furious at the failure of her plan that she exploded into a thousand pieces.

Tips to Remember When Reading a Bedtime Story to Your Child

Act like the character

When you get into the zone of the character, it makes your child’s imagination soar. To make things more interesting, you could ask your child what he thinks a character would sound like. Then, continue on with that voice.

Put a finger on every word as you read it

Reading these stories with your child will also help develop his communication and grammar skills. Enunciate every word you read, and try making him spell words out loud. However, don’t turn storytime into a lesson for him – make sure to do this only every now and then.

Make it interactive

A lot of the stories you read involve scenes where characters decide what they have to do. In such a case, you can ask your child what he would do if he was a character in the story. That way, your child will be involved in the story and you can also explain to him how certain actions have consequences.

Young children often enjoy bedtime stories, and it has become a traditional way to put their curious minds to rest. Besides making them go to bed with a smile, bedtime stories help their mental and social development in a very subtle yet powerful way. So, make sure to read your child a story to bed whenever you can!

A fairy tale about a beautiful princess who was cursed by an offended fairy at a party in honor of her birth. The old fairy predicted the girl's death from a spindle prick, but the good fairy was able to commute the sentence. The girl did not die, but fell asleep for many years...

Once upon a time there lived a king and a queen. They did not have children, and this upset them so much that it is impossible to say. What kind of vows they did not give, they went both to pilgrimages and to healing waters - it was all in vain.
And finally, when the king and queen lost all hope, they suddenly had a daughter.

Can you imagine what a holiday they arranged in honor of her birth! All the fairies that could be found in the country were invited to visit the little princess. The fact is that the fairies in those days had a wonderful custom: to endow their goddaughters with various wonderful gifts. And since there were seven fairies, the princess should have received at least seven virtues or virtues from them as a dowry.

The fairies and other guests gathered at the royal palace, where a festive table was laid for the guests of honor.

Magnificent dinnerware and a box of solid gold were placed in front of the fairies. In each drawer were a spoon, a fork and a knife, also made of pure gold of the finest workmanship, studded with diamonds and rubies. And so, when the guests sat down at the table, the door suddenly opened, and the old fairy entered - the eighth in a row - who had been forgotten to be called to the christening.

And they forgot to call her because she had not left her tower for more than fifty years and everyone thought that she had died long ago.

The King ordered that the device be given to her too. The servants did it in an instant, but the golden box with the spoon, fork and knife was not enough for her share. Only seven of these boxes were prepared, one for each of the seven fairies.

The old fairy, of course, was very offended. She thought that the king and queen were impolite people and met her without proper respect. Pushing her plate and goblet away from her, she muttered some kind of threat through her teeth.

Fortunately, the young fairy, who was sitting next to her, heard her muttering, and, fearing that the old woman would take it into her head to give the little princess some very unpleasant gift, she, as soon as the guests got up from the table, made her way into nursery and hid there behind the canopy of the crib. She knew that the one who has the last word usually wins in an argument, and she wanted her wish to be the last.

When dinner was over, the most solemn moment of the holiday came: the fairies went to the nursery and one by one began to present their gifts to the goddaughter.

The youngest of the fairies wished that the princess was the most beautiful in the world. Another fairy rewarded her with a gentle and kind heart. The third said that her every movement will cause delight. The fourth promised that the princess would dance excellently, the fifth that she would sing like a nightingale, and the sixth that she would play all musical instruments with the same skill.

Finally it was the old fairy's turn. The old woman leaned over the bed and, shaking her head more from annoyance than from old age, said that the princess would prick her hand with a spindle and die from it.

Everyone shuddered when they learned what a terrible gift the evil sorceress had in store for the little princess. Nobody could keep from crying.

And just then the young fairy appeared from behind the canopy and said loudly:

— Take comfort, king and queen! Your daughter will live. True, I am not so strong as to make what has been said unsaid. Sadly, the princess will have to prick her hand with a spindle, but she will not die from this, but will only fall into a deep sleep and will sleep for exactly a hundred years - until the handsome prince wakes her up.

This promise calmed the king and queen a little.

However, the king still decided to try to save the princess from the misfortune that the old evil fairy had predicted for her. For this, by a special decree, he forbade all his subjects, under pain of death, to spin yarn and keep spindles and spinning wheels in his house.

Fifteen or sixteen years have passed. Once the king with the queen and daughter went to one of their country palaces.

The princess wanted to see the ancient castle, and running from room to room, she finally reached the very top of the palace tower.

There, in a cramped closet under the roof, an old woman was sitting at a spinning wheel and calmly spinning yarn.

Oddly enough, she never heard a word about the royal ban from anyone.

— What are you doing, auntie? asked the princess, who had never seen a spinning wheel in her life.

“I am spinning yarn, my child,” the old woman answered, not at all guessing that she was talking to the princess.

— Oh, it's very beautiful! said the princess. “Let me see if I can make it as good as you.”

The princess quickly grabbed the spindle and before she could touch it, the fairy's prediction came true: she pricked her finger and fell down dead.

The frightened old woman began to call for help. People ran from all sides.

Whatever they did: they splashed the princess in the face with water, clapped their hands on her palms, rubbed her whiskey with the fragrant vinegar of the Hungarian Queen—nothing helped.

Run after the king. He climbed into the tower, looked at the princess and immediately realized that the sad event that he and the queen had so feared had happened.

Sadly, he ordered to take the princess to the most beautiful hall of the palace and put her on a bed decorated with silver and gold embroidery.

It's hard to put into words how beautiful the sleeping princess was. She didn't fade at all. Her cheeks were rosy and her lips red like corals. Even though her eyes were tightly closed, you could hear her breathing softly.

So it really was a dream, not death.

The king ordered that the princess not be disturbed until the hour of her awakening.

And the good fairy, who saved her goddaughter from death by wishing her a hundred years of sleep, was at that time very far from the royal castle.

But she immediately learned about this misfortune from a little dwarf walker who had seven-league boots (these are such wonderful boots that if you put them on, you will walk seven miles in one step),

The fairy immediately set off let's hit the road. In less than an hour, her fiery chariot drawn by dragons had already appeared near the royal palace. The king gave her his hand and helped her to get off the chariot.

The fairy did her best to comfort the king and queen. And then, since she was a very prudent fairy, she immediately thought how sad the princess would be when, in a hundred years, the poor thing would wake up in this old castle and not see a single familiar face near her.

To prevent this from happening, the fairy did the following.

With her magic wand, she touched everyone in the palace (except the king and queen). And there were courtiers, maids of honor, governesses, maids, butlers, cooks, cooks, runners, soldiers of the palace guards, gatekeepers, pages and lackeys.

She touched with her wand both the horses in the royal stable and the grooms who combed the horses' tails. She touched the big palace dogs and the little curly dog called Puff, which lay at the feet of the sleeping princess.

And immediately everyone who was touched by the fairy wand fell asleep. They fell asleep exactly for a hundred years to wake up with their mistress and serve her as they served before. Even partridges and pheasants fell asleep, which were roasted on the fire. The spit on which they spun fell asleep. The fire that burned them fell asleep.

And all this happened in one single moment. Fairies know their stuff: wave your wand and you're done!

After that, the king and queen kissed their sleeping daughter, said goodbye to her and quietly left the hall.

Returning to their capital, they issued a decree that no one should dare to approach the enchanted castle.

But this could not have been done, because in just a quarter of an hour so many trees, large and small, grew around the castle, so many thorny bushes - thorns and wild roses - and all this was so closely intertwined with branches that not a person, no beast could have made its way through such a thicket.

And only from a distance, and even from the mountain, one could see the tops of the towers of the old castle.

The fairy did all this so that no one's curiosity would disturb the peace of the cute princess.

One hundred years have passed. Many kings and queens have changed over the years.

And then one fine day the son of the king who reigned at that time went hunting.

In the distance, above a dense dense forest, he saw the towers of some castle.

Whose castle is this? - he asked. - Who lives there?

Everyone answered him what he heard from others. Some said that these were old ruins in which ghosts live, others assured that all the witches in the area were celebrating their Sabbath in an abandoned castle. But most agreed that the old castle belonged to the cannibal. This cannibal seems to catch lost children and take them to his tower to eat without interference, since no one can follow him into his lair - after all, he alone in the world knows the way through the enchanted forest.

The prince did not know who to believe, but then an old peasant approached him and said, bowing:

— Good prince, half a century ago, when I was as young as you, I heard from my father that in In this castle, the most beautiful princess in the world is sleeping soundly and that she will sleep for another half a century, until her betrothed, the son of some king, comes and wakes her up.

Can you imagine how the prince felt when he heard these words!

His heart caught fire in his chest. He immediately decided that it was his lot to be lucky - to awaken the beautiful princess from sleep!

Without thinking twice, the prince jerked the reins and galloped in the direction where the towers of the old castle could be seen, where his love and glory were attracted.

And in front of him is an enchanted forest. The prince jumped off his horse, and immediately tall, thick trees, thorny bushes, thickets of wild roses - everything parted to give him way. As if along a long straight alley, he went to the castle, which was visible in the distance.

The prince walked alone. None of his retinue managed to follow him - the trees, having missed the prince, immediately closed behind him, and the bushes again intertwined branches.

Such a miracle could frighten anyone, but the prince was young and in love, and that was enough to be brave.

Another hundred steps and he found himself in a spacious courtyard in front of the castle. The prince looked to the right, to the left, and his blood ran cold in his veins. Around him lay, sat, stood, leaning against the wall, some people in ancient clothes. They were all motionless, as if dead.

But, looking into the red, shiny faces of the gatekeepers, he realized that they were not dead at all, but simply asleep. They had cups in their hands, and the wine was not yet dry in the cups, and this clearly showed that a sudden dream overtook them at the moment when they were about to drain the cups to the bottom.

The prince passed a large courtyard paved with marble slabs, climbed the stairs, and entered the hall of the palace guards. The armored men slept standing up, lined up in a row, with carbines on their shoulders, and snored with might and main.

He passed through many chambers full of well-dressed court ladies and smart gentlemen. They were all fast asleep, some standing, some sitting.

Finally, he entered a room with gilded walls and a gilded ceiling. Entered and stopped.

On the bed, the curtains of which were thrown back, rested a beautiful young princess of about fifteen or sixteen years old (except for the century she had slept through).

The prince involuntarily closed his eyes: her beauty shone so brightly that even the gold around her seemed dull and pale. Trembling with delight, he approached and knelt before her.

At that very moment, the hour appointed by the good fairy struck.

The princess woke up, opened her eyes and looked at her deliverer.

— Oh, is that you, prince? she said. "At last!" You kept yourself waiting for a long time!..

Before she could finish these words, everything around her woke up.

The first to speak was a little dog called Puff, which was lying at the feet of the princess. She barked loudly when she saw a stranger, and from the courtyard she was answered with rough voices by watchdogs.

Horses neighed in the stable, pigeons cooed under the roof. The fire in the oven roared with all its might, and the pheasants, which the cooks had not had time to roast a hundred years ago, turned red in one minute.

The servants, under the supervision of the butler, were already setting the table in the mirrored dining room. And the ladies of the court, while waiting for breakfast, straightened their locks, disheveled for a hundred years, and smiled at their sleepy cavaliers.

In the hall of the palace guards, the men-at-arms again went about their usual business - stomping their boots and rattling their weapons.

And the gatekeepers, who were sitting at the entrance to the palace, finally drained the goblets and filled them again with good wine, which, of course, became older and better in a hundred years.

The whole castle - from the flag on the tower to the wine cellar - came to life and rustled.

And the prince and princess didn't hear anything. They looked at each other and couldn't get enough of each other. The princess forgot that she had not eaten anything for a century, and the prince did not remember that he had not had poppy dew in his mouth since morning. They talked for four whole hours and did not manage to say even half of what they wanted to say.

But everyone else was not in love and therefore starved to death.

Finally, the eldest lady-in-waiting, who was hungry as much as everyone else, could not stand it and reported to the princess that breakfast was served.

The prince extended his hand to his bride and led her into the dining room.
