少儿寓言故事：睡美人双语)

　　There must be a wonderful view of the rest of the palace and grounds from the window, said the Princess . Then she heard a strange whirring sound. It was unlike anything that she had ever heard before.

　　She pushed the door open and went into the room. There, in the middle, sat an old woman working at a spinning wheel. Behind her was an enormous bed.

　　The wheel was making the noise.

　　What are you doing? asked Briar Rose. I have never seen one of those before, what is it?

　　It is a spinning wheel, said the old women, Would you like to try it my dear?

　　Oh. may I? asked Briar Rose.

　　She sat on the stool in front of the wheel and the wheel whirred round. As soon as she touched the spindle she pricked her finger. She fell to the floor in a deep sleep. The old woman, who was really the thirteenth fairy in disguise, picked her up and laid her on the bed.

　　At that moment, all over the place, people began to asleep. The cooks who were preparing for the party fell asleep over the stirring and tasting. The scullery maids fell asleep over the washing up. The laundry maid fell asleep while they dusted, polished and prepared for the party.

　　The King and Queen, the courtiers and the guests fell asleep in the Great Hall. The guards fell asleep at their posts. The search parties looking for the Princess fell asleep while they searched- in the gardens, in the corridors, in the spare rooms, and some in the oldest part of the palace.
