Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there was a sweet little girl loved by everyone. Her favorite person in the world was her grandmother, who one day gave her a beautiful red hooded cloak. She loved it so much that she wore it everywhere, and soon everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood. One morning, her mother asked her to take a basket of goodies to her grandmother, who was feeling sick, and warned her carefully, “Go straight to Grandma’s house and do not go through the forest. A wolf lives there, and he could hurt you.”

Beauty and the Beast

Once upon a time, a wealthy merchant lived with his three daughters in a large and comfortable home. Among them, the youngest daughter, Belle, stood out for her gentle nature and kind heart. Even when the family lost everything and had to move to a poor countryside village, Belle remained optimistic and continued to comfort her father and sisters, proving that her inner beauty was her greatest strength.

Cinderella

Long ago, a wealthy man lost his wife and was left with a single daughter. Eventually he remarried a woman who was harsh and cruel, and she had two daughters just like her. Meanwhile, his own daughter was kind, gentle, and naturally lovable, earning everyone’s admiration more than her selfish stepsisters. Jealous of her goodness, the stepmother forced the girl to do all the hard labor in the house, from carrying water and cooking to cleaning every room. She slept in a dusty attic while the stepsisters enjoyed elegant bedrooms with soft white beds and polished mirrors. Despite her suffering, she never complained because her father was too afraid to stand up to his new wife. Every evening, covered in ashes from the fireplace, she earned the nickname Cinderella.

Sleeping Beauty

Long ago, a king and queen longed for a child. One day, while the queen was bathing, a frog appeared and told her that her wish would soon come true, and by the end of the year she would give birth to a daughter. The prophecy came true, and the queen delivered a beautiful princess who captured every heart. To celebrate her birth, the king held a magnificent feast and invited everyone he could, including twelve of the thirteen fairies in the kingdom. The thirteenth fairy was left out simply because the king did not have enough golden plates for all of them. During the celebration, the fairies stepped forward and blessed the princess with beauty, grace, virtue, kindness and every gift they could offer. But suddenly, the thirteenth fairy appeared in anger and cast a terrible curse: when the princess reached fifteen, she would prick her finger on a spindle and die. The last invited fairy could not undo the curse, but she softened it so the princess would not die but fall into a deep sleep lasting one hundred years.
