The beautiful Princess Aurora was born under a terrible spell from the Black Witch, who had a grudge against her father, saying that on her 16th birthday she  would die by having her fifinger pierced by the spindle of a spinning wheel. Even with the help of the fairies, the spell could not be undone, and Princess Aurora  slept for a long time.
