A Beautiful Sleep - Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time in an enchanted land
there lived a king and queen
whose palace was very grand
But their daughter the princess was very mean
when an old woman came to the palace gates
to ask for some food
the princess yelled at her with words of hate
All the servants thought her rude
Little could she even guess
that the old lady was once a beautiful princess!
The wicked witch with the wand of gold
Had cast a spell that turned her old!
Then one day the elderly lady cut her finger on the palace gates
and immediately fell into a deep sleep
the evil princess thouht it was great
All the servants began to weep
The king ordered the old lady be taken to the woods
where they lay her in an abandoned shack
Then they left and never came back
After many many years
A prince went riding through the woods
when the old run down shack did appear
He went inside and their he stood
Amazed to find someone sleeping in bliss
For some reason he felt compelled to give her a kiss!
And when he did
She was transformed into a beautiful princess
The prince fell in love right away
And they were married the very next day
