This story doesn't make any sense.. I get that the fairy was angry about not being invited, cursed the daughter and left, but why couldn't twelve fairies combined completely remove the curse instead of just softening it? And sleeping for a century doesn't sound like much of a curse, since everyone else in the castle did the same thing. If she had

Maybe she was more powerful than the twelve fairies combined?

It does sound weird.

[aphoticfirefly]

Maybe. It would make sense that they couldn't entirely cancel the curse, then.

Hn. That story sounds familiar... ...What was the original curse before the fairies softened it?

[aphoticfirefly]

The princess was supposed to die at 16 after pricking her finger on a spinning wheel.

[alwayswrite]

Huh. Sleeping Beauty then. ...I suppose the real question is what would have occured had the Prince not awoken her from her slumber after 100 years.

[aphoticfirefly]

I've never thought about that, actually.

Well, I thought fairy tales weren't supposed to make sense. Are you reading it for the new Magic in Literature class?

[aphoticfirefly]

That's true.. Actually, I just felt like reading it, and we have a copy of one of the Grimm fairytale books here, so I did.

[germanwitch]

Oh. Are there any stories in there that you like?

[aphoticfirefly]

A few, actually! I like "Town Musicians of Bremen" and "Maid Maleen". I haven't finished reading the book yet, though.

I suppose a good many of fairy tales don't use much logic, but that's what makes them unique from other stories, right?
