Sleeping Italy
Once upon a time there lived a king called Roman Empire, who just had a lovely little boy which they called Italy. The king was greatly pleased with the new heir, and in celebration decided to throw a large banquet and invite many people over. Several of these people were fairies and magicians who wished to give upon the new child special gifts that would stay with the child forever.
Seven of these magical guests were invited and each of them gave him a grand gift. Gift of always being beautiful, prosperous and loved were among these, and all of the other guests grew happier and happier for the small boy. Then an eighth, uninvited magical guest came to give Italy a gift.
The tall, long-haired blond picked the boy up and said, "I give instead of a gift a prophecy, that when the boy pricks his finger on a needle, he and all other living things in the castle will fall into a deep sleep; only to be awoken by true love's kiss."
Roman Empire was outraged by this curse, and banished the stranger from the castle. He then in an attempt to stop the curse had all needles and such removed from the castle; never to be brought back into it.
And so Italy grew into a teenager with the king. As he grew everyone could see that all of the other gifts were coming true, which only made them worry more about the curse. One day when Rome was off hunting, a strange-looking man with long blond hair came to the castle and offered a present to Italy.
Italy eagerly took the gift, only to then be pricked by a hidden needle. As soon as Italy was pricked, the stranger vanished and Italy fell asleep; followed by the rest of the people in the castle.
Later that evening when Rome returned to the castle, he found that he could not enter due to large thorn bushes growing everywhere. For some time he tried to get into the castle, but he could not get through. Defeated, he left the castle never to return.
Eighty years after Italy fell asleep, a young prince called Germany was riding through the forest when he came upon an abandon castle covered in dead thorns. Curious as to what was in the castle, he cut through the bush and entered the courtyard, only to it occupied by sleeping humans and animals. As he continued his search around the castle, he found even more people asleep, leading up to a tower.
In the tower he found a young boy asleep on the floor. Germany was curious at first, wondering why they were all asleep and wearing clothes that his grandfather would have worn. This did not stop him from falling madly in love with the boy however.
Slowly, Germany knelt down by the boy and kissed him gently on the lips. As he moved back to look at the boy, the boy opened his eyes and smiled at the prince. He then threw his arms around the prince and said, "Vee, good morning! I'm Italy, who are you?"
Germany explained who he was, as the two of them left the tower. As they did so, Germany saw that all the creatures that were asleep before were now awake and working. Italy soon fell in love with Germany, and when Germany asked for his hand in marriage he gladly accepted.
The two of them then left for Germany's home and lived there happily for the rest of their lives.
