Once upon a time, in a kingdom in Germany, there was a very beautiful Rose Princess. When the princess was born, a grand celebration was held in the court, and the whole kingdom was immersed in joy. The princess was as delicate and charming as a rose. Her eyes were like the clearest lake water, and her hair was like black satin.
However, on the princess's sixteenth birthday, an evil witch appeared. The witch was jealous of the princess's beauty and happy life, so she cast a vicious curse on the princess. She cursed that the princess would be pricked by a spindle and then fall into a deep sleep, and only a true - love's kiss could wake her up.
Although the king ordered all the spindles in the country to be destroyed, there was still a slip - up. The princess found a spindle in a corner of the castle. She picked it up curiously, and as a result, her finger was pricked. Immediately, the princess fell into a deep sleep, and the whole castle was also shrouded by a mysterious power. The king and the queen were extremely grief - stricken. They looked at the sleeping princess but could do nothing. As the princess slept, thorns began to grow around the castle, slowly wrapping it up as if it were a huge spiky ball.
Many years passed, and there was a brave prince. He heard the legend of the Rose Princess and decided to come and save her. The prince rode a white horse and traveled a long distance. Finally, he arrived at the castle surrounded by thorns. Those thorns were sharp and dense, but the prince was not frightened. He drew his sword and began to cut down the thorns. The thorns scratched his hands and face, but he still moved forward firmly.
After a lot of effort, the prince finally cleared a path and entered the castle. He found the sleeping Rose Princess in the deepest part of the castle. The princess lay there quietly, like a rose waiting to bloom. The prince was touched by the princess's beauty. He gently bent down and placed a tender kiss on the princess's lips.
With the prince's kiss, the princess slowly opened her eyes. She saw the handsome prince in front of her, and her eyes were full of love. The whole castle instantly regained its vitality. The thorns disappeared, and the sunlight shone in again. The princess and the prince hugged each other, and their love bloomed like spring flowers. From then on, the prince and the princess lived happily together, and their story was told among the people on the land of Germany.
