Once upon a time, there lived as neighbours, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit was a good shot. In
contrary, the bear was always clumsy and could not use the arrow to good advantage.
One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came
with bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit was preventing to arouse the bear’s anger so he could not
refuse it. He consented and went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family.
Indeed he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had loaded
themselves and packed all they could carry home.
The bear was very gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat. The rabbit could not
even taste the blood from the butchering as the bear would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. The
poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day’s work.
The bear was the father of five children. The youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. He was very
hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not
eat it. He would take it outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward the
rabbit’s house and when he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick. The meat
would fly into the rabbit’s house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa
bear.

Long ago, a king and a queen had a beautiful baby girl after many years of their marriage. They
arranged a grand party to celebrate this happy occasion. They also invited three good fairies to bless the
baby-girl. The first fairy said, “I grant you beauty." “I grant you sweet voice." wished the second fairy.
The third fairy was about to bless the baby when an evil fairy entered the room. As she was not
invited, so she was very angry. She cursed the baby, “On your sixteenth birthday, you will die picking
your finger on a spinning wheel!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this. They wept to hear the fate the baby-girl.
Then the third fairy said, “I can only change the curse. In place of dying, the princess will fall
asleep for one hundred years. Then the kiss of a prince will break her long sleep."
The king ordered his soldiers to burn all the spinning wheels in the country. On her sixteenth
birthday, the princess happily moved around the palace. She suddenly found a secret room where an old
woman was spinning some yarn. She invited the princess to learn to spin. In a hurry, she pricked her
finger and at once fell asleep for one hundred years. The good fairy also made all the people present in
the palace asleep. This condition prevailed there for the next one hundred years.
Many years passed by, wild creepers and bushes covered the whole palace. Many young men tried
to enter the palace. But they were not successful. They were dejected.
One day, a brave prince entered the palace. He found the sleeping princess and bent down to kiss
her. At once, the princess opened her eyes and was delighted to see the prince.
The Prince married the Princess. And they happily lived for many more years.
