To protect Aurora, the fairies take her from her parents and raise her in the forest, with no knowledge of her identity. After years of searching, the evil witch finally locates Aurora on her sixteenth birthday, luring her to the castle to prick her finger.
The Princess falls into the promised sleep, and the fairies that raised her put the rest of the castle to sleep as well.
Again, years later, a Prince sees the castle covered in vines while he is riding through the forest. He enters and finds the court sleeping. Upon discovering our Princess, he kisses her, and the spell is broken. The court awakes, and the two are married and live happily ever after.
