Sleeping Beauty
Grimm's Fairy Tale version - translated by Margaret Hunt
language modernized a bit by Leanne Guenther

Long ago there lived a King and Queen who said every day, "If only we had a child!"  But for a long time they had none.

One day, as the Queen was bathing in a spring and dreaming of a child, a frog crept out of the water and said to her, "Your wish shall be fulfilled.  Before a year has passed you shall bring a daughter into the world."
