Peri ke 13 itu bukan memberikan berkah kepada sang putri kecil, dia malah mengutuknya.

He also invited his good friend king Hubert to the feast. King Hubert had brought his young son Philip. The king agreed that someday Philip and Aurora would be married.

Among the guest were three good fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Marryweather. They wished to bless the princess with a give. Waving her wand, Flora said, “ My gift shall be the gift of beauty.” “ And mine.” Said Fauna, “ Shall be the gift of song.”, Marryweather turn was next. But before the Marryweather could speak, the castle door flew opened. It was the evil witch named Maleficent. She was furious because she wasn’t invited to the feast. “ My gift for the child is, before the sunsets on her sixteenth birthday she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die!” Then she disappeared.

But Marryweather still had gift to give, so she said, “ She will not die but she will fall into a deep sleep and when her true love kiss her, the spell shall break and the princess opened her eyes!”. King Stevan feared the witch curse, so the good fairies hatched a plan. They would take Aurora to live with them, deep in the woods, saved from Maleficent. The king and queen agreed with heavy heart.

To guard their secret, the fairies changed her name to Briar Rose. The years passed quietly, and Briar Rose grew into a beautiful young woman. At last the princess reached her sixteenth birthday, in a mossy glen she danced and sang with her friends, the birds and animals. She told them of her beautiful dream about meeting a tall handsome boy and falling in love.

A handsome boy came. When he heard Briar Rose singing he jumped from his horse and reached out to take her hand. Briar Rose was startled. “ I do not mean to frighten you, but I feel like we have met before.” Said the youngman. Briar Rose felt very happy. But she didn’t know that he was prince Phillip and Prince Phillip didn’t know that she was Princess Aurora.

Back at the cottage, Briar Rose told the fairies that she had falling in love. “ Impossible! “ cried the fairies. Then, they told her that she was a royal princess. It was time to return home. Actually the witch Maleficent knew that Aurora was return home. She became an old lady and a spinning wheel suddenly appeared in the tiny room of the castle. Using her evil powers she lured Aurora to high tower in the tiny room. “What is this? May I try?” Aurora asked. The old lady said, “Of course, my pretty little child!” And the princess sat down to spin. But the moment she touched the spindle, she fell to the floor in a deep slumber.

The hundred years were just ended. The witch captured Phillip and chain him deep on her dungeon. But the good fairies had other plans for him. They melted the prince’s chain. And they armed him with the shield of virtue and the sword of truth. Then they sent him to the palace to awaken the princess.

When the witch saw Philip escaping she was changed into a Monstrous Dragon to stop him. Prince Phillip threw his sword to sword the witch. Then Maleficent was no more. Then Prince Phillip raced to the tower where his love lay sleeping. Gently he kissed her and Aurora eyes slowly opened. The kings and queens planed for the prince and princess wedding.
