Hi kids, it’s me Miss Booksy
and it’s story time here at Cool School!
Hi Eleanor!
Hi Ms. Booksy!
Are you ready for a new story?
KIDS: Oh yeah!!
Oh my gosh! We’re almost late for Story time!!
I love Story time.
Me too! Me too!
… I hope it’s a Robot story.
Sh! Sh!
Shhh!!!
Okay, okay!
Ok, is everyone ready to read “Sleeping Beauty”?
Once upon a time, there was a--
Um, uh... Sleeping Beauty?
Miss Booksy? I have a question
Harry has a question.
Are there any robots in Sleeping Beauty?
Um, no.
There aren’t any robots in Sleeping Beauty
I heard, I heard.
It’s ok, I'm sure it's a very nice story anyway. You go ahead--
Of course there are no robots,
it’s an amazing story about taking a huge nap
and then when you wake up finding true love in spite of an evil witch fairy.
Really??
Well, you know that coulda been an evil robot.. but it’s ok. Go ahead Miss Booksy
Go ahead.
Ok, thanks Miles
Here we go again! “Sleeping Beauty.”
Once upon a time
a beautiful little baby princess was--
MILES: Oh oh oh oh oh! Can we be in the story??
Is there a good part I can play?
Oh, me too. Me too!
Well if there are parts being handed out
I know a young thespian who would relish the opportunity to perform.
Relish?
The-bi-something?
Sure guys!
There are some great parts you could play.
Miles, you could be a fairy!
Oh well... I dunno..
How 'bout being the king?
King? Yeah! Now you're talking!
Since you're the king, can you also be a nice fairy?
Yeah, ok fine. As long as I'm the king.
I don’t care what I am…
No, I totally do.
Can I be the Prince? There's always a prince...
Well, you're right. There IS a prince,
And you're him!
Or he's you.
Or... something.
Awesome!!
And Eleanor.. I’m thinking you can be
the evil fairy!
Oh perfect!
Watch out, guys. He he he he he!
I think you might be too NICE to be an evil fairy!
Oh, you'll see, you'll see...
Okay, Sleeping Beauty take 2!
Once upon a time a beautiful little baby princess was born in a magical kingdom.
The king and queen invited the 7 fairies,
you know the magic fairies who come to bless little babies.
Fairies? Is that me??
Nope, not yet! Just a sec.
Okay...
Miles, it's your turn!!
Oh!! Here I am!
Whoa, the wings are actually, actually pretty cool...
BOOKSY: Anywho, so all the fairies were invited...
Well, all except for one fairy who hadn’t responded to like any invitations recently,
I mean that fairy never came so why bother to keep inviting her??
That turned out to be a bad idea.
Well, the uninvited fairy
Eleanor, you're the unhappy fairy!
Mwahahahaha!
So, she found out about the blessing party.
And got super annoyed that she wan't invited!
So, she crashed the party.
Not only did she crash it, she showed up really late,
right in the middle of the king’s flute solo.
And, instead of a blessing, she put a curse on the baby!
Toil n trouble,
my curse upon you shall bubble!
Instead of growing up to be something special,
and having fame that will linger...
you will touch a spindle and get pricked on the finger!
And then you will sleep for 100 years in a big snoring heap!
And if you're lucky, a prince will wake you and you'll think he's neat!
Oh.... I almost forgot THIS.
To totally, 100% break the spell,
the prince has to give you...
A kiss!!
Mmmmuah!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
As you can see, it was a pretty evil curse!
The princess would get pricked by a spindle
Ouch!
and sleep for a HUNDRED years,
and after all that time, she could only be awakened by a prince who kisses her?
Oy, a hundred years of sleeping and there’s still a catch!
The king was like:
To avoid that mean fairy curse,
There shall be no spindles allowed in this kingdom!
BOOKSY: So the little princess grew up,
into meeee!
So, I'm chillin',
no spindles around,
I wouldn’t even know one if I saw one.
Seriously, like, what's a spindle?
This turned out to be a problem
because there was one little old spinster who didn’t get the memo.
I didn't know! Nobody told me!
One day I saw her spinning away,
making the most beautiful thread for the most beautiful gown.
I asked her:
Hey, could I try your cool... spinning... machine... thing?
and as fate would have it,
I pricked my finger.
Uh-oh!
I think THAT'S a spindle!
Oh dear! That's not good...
My parents were devastated.
Rather than have life go on for the 100 years while I was sleeping,
they asked one of the nice fairies to put a sleeping spell on the whole castle,
so we could all wake up together.
Miles... that's you again!
If a prince doesn't kiss her, we're going to be weepy.
But for the next 100 years, we're going to be sleepy!
Nighty night!
