Previous Aunt's Entire Wish example essay topic

Snoozing Goddess Once upon a time, there was a husband and wife. When the wife finally gave birth to a beautiful daughter they decided to throw a huge party. They invited their entire family, all their uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces and aunts. Now there were 13 aunts in the family altogether but the husband and queen only invited 12. They forgot about the 13th. End the end their forgetfulness would cost them dearly.

It was a magnificent party, the caterers brought loads of delicious food. There was a DJ, magician and clown that entertained everyone. When everyone had finished eating, the aunts gathered around the baby's bassinet and they each made a wish. The princess shall be gorgeous said the first. And happy, said the second. And nice, said the third.

And so they went on. The princess was to be smart, and content and precise. And, then, just as the twelfth aunt was about to make her wish, in came the thirteenth. She was angry, because she had not been invited to the party. Here is my wish, she said. 'When your daughter is 16 years old, she will prick her finger on a sewing machine and she will die.

' And with that, the thirteenth aunt left as quickly as she arrived. The twelfth aunt still had her wish, now she couldn't change the previous aunt's entire wish, but she was able to change the ending. So the princess will prick her finger but she will not die! She will sleep for a hundred years. The husband and wife thanked the aunt for her kindness but they were not happy.

They did not want their daughter to sleep for a hundred years. So they ordered that every sewing machine little or big be chopped up and send to China. Then they thought that the princess was safe. The years passed and the daughter grew up.

She was very beautiful and clever at lots of different things. She was, in fact, everything her aunts had wished her to be. On her sixteenth birthday, the princess was exploring the mansion when she came to a little room at the top of a long staircase. In that room was an old woman sitting by a sewing machine.

'What are you doing?' asked the princess. 'I am spinning,' said the old woman, who was really the evil aunt, 'would you like to try?' 'Oh yes,' said the princess, and she sat down by the sewing machine. But as soon as she touched the machine, the sharp needle pricked her finger and she fell asleep. And the aunt vanished. At that same moment, the husband and the wife, the maids, the cats and the dogs all fell asleep! Everything slept.

With no gardener the hedge of wild roses grew up around the mansion. It grew and it grew until the mansion was hidden. One hundred years passed and then a young man who was 16 came riding by and saw the top of the mansion rising up above the hedge of roses. How strange, he said, I never knew there was a mansion here! He jumped off his bike and cut away the hedge.

He entered mansion, and walked from room to room. Imagine his surprise, everyone and everything was fast asleep. At last he entered a little room at the top of a long staircase and he saw the sleeping daughter. She was so very beautiful that he bent down and kissed her.

Then the spell was broken and the daughter opened her eyes. At the same moment, everyone and everything in the mansion awoke! The husband yawned, the wife blinked. The maids began to work, the fire began to flame, and the food began to cook. A hundred years had not changed anyone or anything. And what happened next?

Why the beautiful daughter fell in love with the young man, who had woken her from such a long deep sleep. The End.
