Hello teacher:
Sleeping Beauty

The Brothers Grimm
Many years ago there lived a king and queen who said every day, "Ah, if only we had a child!" But the son did not come. However, once the queen was bathing, a frog jumped out of the water to land, and said. "Your wish shall be fulfilled, before a year, have a daughter"

What the frog said came true, and the queen had a little girl so precious that the king could not contain himself for joy, and ordered a party. He not only invited family, friends and acquaintances, but also a group of fairies, that they might be kind and generous to the girl. There were thirteen of them in his kingdom, but only had twelve golden plates for them to eat, so I had to do without one.

The party was held with splendor, and when it ended, the fairies were present to the child with the best and most wonderful gifts: one bestowed virtue, one beauty, a third riches, and and all others, with everything anyone could want in the world.

When eleven of them had given their gifts, the thirteenth suddenly entered. She wanted revenge for not having been invited, and without any notice, and without looking at anyone, cried with a loud voice, "The king's daughter, when she turns fifteen, will stick it with a spindle and shall fall down dead right away! "And without more words, he turned and left the room.

All were astonished, but the twelfth, who had not yet announced his gift, took the lead, and although he could not prevent evil judgment itself could decrease, and said, "She did not die, but fall into a deep sleep one hundred years! "

The king tried by all means to avoid that misery for the young. Gave orders that all the spindles in the kingdom should be burnt. Meanwhile, the gifts of the other twelve fairies, are fully met in this young woman. So she was beautiful, modest, good-natured and wise, and that no one who saw her could help loving her.

It happened that on the same day in which he reached fifteen, the king and queen were not at home, and the maiden was alone in the palace. So she was running all over place as he could, looked at the rooms and bedrooms as she wanted, and at last came to an old tower. She climbed the narrow spiral staircase up to a small door. An old key was in the lock, and when he turned, the door suddenly opened. In the room was an old woman sitting in front of a spindle, diligently spinning her flax.

"Good morning, ma'am," said the king's daughter, "What are you doing with that?" - "I am spinning," said the old woman, nodding her head.

"What is that thing that spins so briskly?" said the girl.

And she took the spindle and wanted to spin too. But no sooner had she touched the spindle when the magic decree was fulfilled, and she jabbed her finger with it.

As felt the prick, she fell on the bed that stood there, and lay in a deep sleep. And that dream was extended to the whole territory of the palace. The king and queen who were just coming home, and had entered the great hall, fell asleep, and all the court with them. The horses are in their stalls, the dogs in the yard, the pigeons in the eaves of the roof, the flies on the walls, even the home fires that blazed well, was without heat, the meat was roasting stop roast, and cook at that time was to pull her hair when young assistant for forgetting something, left him and fell asleep. The wind stopped, and the trees about the castle, not a leaf moved.

But around the castle began to grow a network of thorns, which every year became larger and larger, while surrounded and covered it completely, so that he saw nothing, not even a flag that was on the roof. But the story of Sleeping Beauty "Rosamond," for so was named, are spread throughout the region, so that from time to time kings' sons came and tried to cross the wall of thorns wanting to reach the castle. But it was impossible, for the thorns held fast together as tightly as if they had hands, and the youths were caught in them, and without being able to get free, a miserable death.

And past hundred years, another prince also arrived, and heard an old man talking about the thorn curtain, and it was said that the thorns behind a beautiful princess named Rosamond, who has been asleep for a hundred years hiding , and also the king and queen and the whole court were asleep alike. And there was also told by his grandfather, that many kings' sons had come and tried to cross the wall of thorns, but remained stuck in them and had died a miserable death. Then the young prince said:

- "I am not afraid, go and see the lovely Rosamond." -

The good old man tried to dissuade him as he could, but the young man did not heed their warnings.

But at that time the hundred years had been fulfilled, and the day when Rosamond should be awakened had arrived. When the prince came to where the wall of thorns, there was nothing but beautiful flowers, which are each other mutually agreed departed, and left to spend the prince without hurting him, and then came together again behind him like forming a fence.

When he reached the castle he saw the horses and lawns to the hounds lying asleep with pints in the roof eaves were pigeons with their heads under their wings. And when he entered the palace, the flies were asleep on the walls, the cook in the kitchen had even extended his hand to strike the scullion, and the maid was sitting with the black hen was ready to pluck.

He continued to advance, and in the great hall he saw the whole court lying asleep, and the throne were the king and queen.

Then he went farther, and all was so quiet that a breath could be heard, and finally reached the tower and opened the door of the little room where Rosamond lay. There lay, so beautiful that he could not look away, then stopped and kissed her. But as soon as he kissed her, Rosamond opened her eyes and awoke, and looked very sweetly.

Then they both went down together, and the king and queen awoke, and the whole court, and looked at each other with great amazement. And the horses in the barn got up and shook. The hounds jumped up and wagged their tails, the pigeons on the roof drew their heads from under their wings, looked around and flew open. The flies on the wall crept again. The raised hearth fire flames and cooked their meat, and the cook's assistant pulled the hairs so that even screamed, and the maid plucked the chicken making it ready for firing.

Days after the wedding of Prince and Rosamond was held with all splendor, and they lived happily until the end of their lives.

hello teacher this is my favorite horror story is I hope you like ...
I put only the introduction and that is because the story is very long.

smile.jpg
Smile Dog's story consists of a classic horror set-up – an amateur writer visits the house of a lady who supposedly has a story for which he can borrow from. Rather than speak, however, the lady has locked herself up in her room, crying and ranting about nightmares and visions and various other problems. All of these center around a floppy disk she had been given that contain the image smile.jpg – which is smile.dog. Other cases of this have cropped up...

Viewing this image incites insanity, and no copy of the exact image exists on the web though likenesses of it do. The true image of smile.jpg is recognized due to the effect it has on the viewer – that is, they wind up dead. Attaching the file – that is, spreading the word, is the only way to save oneself from the smile.dog that appears in one's dreams demanding to spread the word. Some say that the original legend began with an image of the devil.
