nce upon a time, in a far away castle, a queen gave birth to a child that she named Aurore. For the christening, the king called upon the fairies of the Kingdom for them to become the godmother's child, but he forgot to invite one of them…
As the fairies were making wishes for the baby, the evil witch who hadn't been invited appeared and cast a spell on the child, saying that on the sixteenth birthday the teenager's thumb would be pricked on a spindle and die.

However, the fairies managed to spare the child's life by wishing that instead of dying, Aurore would fall asleep for a hundred years and could only be woken up by a prince's kiss. (Everybody knows this story!)

The years went by and the day came.

A century later, a prince came, on his wheeled horse, and taking a look at his GPS, he said "SOS Prince Charming, here I am!"

He finally arrived at the castle, climbed up the stairs and entered Aurore's room. He came closer to the bed and in his eagerness, he didn't even have a look at the Princess before kissing Aurore's lips… And so, Aurore slowly awoke and opened the eyes.

Finally taking a look at the person lying on the bed, he thought : "What beautiful golden hair ! What beautiful blue eyes ! And what… What a beautiful sparkling beard!"
