🌟 Cinderella

A long time ago, in a faraway land, there lived a gentle and kind-hearted girl named Cinderella.

Her mother had died, and her father married another woman. The new stepmother was very cruel. She had two daughters who were proud and selfish.

Cinderella did all the housework — cleaning, cooking, and washing. Her stepmother and stepsisters wore fine clothes, but Cinderella wore old, torn dresses. Still, she was always gentle and kind.

One day, the king said, ‘Let’s have a big dance party at the palace!’ All young ladies were invited. The stepsisters were excited and went to the ball, but Cinderella was left behind. She cried sadly.

Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared. With her magic wand, she turned a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage, mice into horses, and Cinderella’s torn dress into a shining gown with glass slippers. But the fairy warned, “The magic will end at midnight. You must return before then.”

Cinderella went to the ball. Everyone admired her beauty. The prince danced only with her. But as the clock struck twelve, she ran away. In her hurry, she left behind one glass slipper.

The next day, the prince searched the kingdom for the girl who fit the slipper. At last, he came to Cinderella’s house. The stepsisters tried, but the shoe was too small. When Cinderella tried, it fit perfectly!

The prince married Cinderella, and they lived happily ever after.

🌟 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Long ago, a sweet princess named Snow White lived in a kingdom. She was beautiful, with white skin, red lips, and black hair.

Snow White’s stepmother, the Queen, was consumed by jealousy. Each day she gazed into her magical mirror and asked, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” The mirror unfailingly answered, “Snow White.” These words filled the Queen with sorrow and anger.

One day, the Queen ordered a hunter to take Snow White into the forest and leave her there. The hunter felt sorry for her and let her go. Snow White wandered through the woods until she found a little cottage.

Inside the cottage lived seven dwarfs. They were kind and welcomed her to stay. Snow White cooked, cleaned, and became their friend.

When the Queen learned Snow White was still alive, she disguised herself as an old woman. She gave Snow White a poisoned apple. Snow White took a bite and fell into a deep sleep.

The dwarfs placed her in a glass coffin in the forest. One day, a prince came by. He saw Snow White, fell in love, and kissed her. The magic broke, and Snow White woke up!

The prince took Snow White home to his castle, and they were happy together forever.

Sleeping Beauty (Briar Rose)

A king and queen had a daughter long ago. They named her Aurora, but everyone called her Briar Rose. The king and queen invited fairies to bless the baby with gifts like beauty, kindness, and song.

But one wicked fairy was angry because she wasn’t invited. She cursed the baby: “When she turns sixteen, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep forever!”

A good fairy softened the curse: “She will not die. She will sleep for one hundred years, and a prince’s kiss will wake her.”

The king ordered all spinning wheels destroyed. Aurora grew into a lovely, kind princess. But on her sixteenth birthday, she found an old spinning wheel hidden in a tower. She touched it, pricked her finger, and fell into a deep sleep.

The whole castle also slept. A thick forest of thorns grew around the palace, hiding it from the world.

After many years, a brave prince heard the story of the sleeping princess. He cut through the thorns, entered the castle, and found Aurora lying on a bed. He kissed her gently. The curse was broken!

Aurora woke up, and so did everyone in the castle. The prince married Aurora, and they lived happily ever after.

The Frog Prince

Once upon a time, a beautiful princess lived in a grand castle. She loved to play with her golden ball near a deep well.

One day, the ball fell into the well. The princess was very sad and cried. Suddenly, a frog came out of the water and said,

If you agree to be my companion I will get your ball for you.

The princess quickly agreed, though she did not really mean it. The frog dived into the water and brought back the golden ball. The princess took it happily and ran back to the castle, forgetting her promise.

The frog visited the castle the following day. He knocked at the door and reminded the princess of her promise. The king said,

A true princess always keeps her word.

So, the princess let the frog eat from her plate and stay near her. She was not happy at first, but soon she grew kind.

One night, the frog turned into a handsome prince! He explained that an evil witch had turned him into a frog, and only the kindness of a princess could break the spell.

The princess and the prince became good friends and later lived happily ever after.
