When the princess turned one, a big celebration was planned, and all the fairies were invited, except for the Black Fairy, who was considered mean and bad. During the party, the Black Fairy appeared in a cloud of blue smoke, angry for not being invited. She cursed the baby princess, saying that on her 16th birthday, she would prick her finger on a spindle and die.
The Good Fairy's Intervention
A young fairy, who hadn't yet given her blessing, stepped in to help. She couldn't remove the curse entirely but changed it so that when the princess pricked herself, she wouldn't die but fall into a deep sleep. She would only awaken with a kiss from a prince who loved her.
