On the occasion of their daughter's birth, the king and queen give a lavish feast. Among the guests are twelve fairies who endow the infant in the cradle with all good qualities.

On the day she turns fifteen, the princess is to sink into a hundred-year sleep after pricking her finger on a spindle.
