　　许多人想进入睡美人的房子，但是，人们穿不过树墙，所以没有一个人来过。

　　年复一年，公主长眠不醒。很多年过去了，人们不知道这所房子里发生了什么事情，不知道谁住在里面。树儿长高了，你通过树丛看不到房子，人们从树丛旁走过，不晓得这里有一座房子。

　　一天，一位国王骑马进了森林，王子也随同他前往。国王和他的仆人在前面走得很远（把王子抛在后面），王子找不到他们了。王子骑着骑着，来到了花树墙前，心想：“父王已经穿过那片树丛，我要穿过去，找到他们。”

　　他走到树墙前，树丛打开了一条路，他穿了过去。这时，他发现一个花园，然而，所有的花草却长得杂乱无章，遍地皆是。

　　他来到一座房子前，门开着，一个男人正站在门旁睡着，王子说：“多懒的人啊，他站着都睡着了！”他走进房屋，一些人坐在桌旁，手里拿着吃的睡着。

　　一个小男孩正在看书上的一个故事，他头枕着胳膊睡着了。一位妇女正在穿鞋，她脚上穿着一只鞋，手中拿着一只鞋睡着。一位老人也坐那儿睡着，旁边是笔和纸，而纸上都是陈年积土，他旁边一个妇女怀抱着熟睡的孩子睡着。

　　王子从一间屋走到另一间屋，他发现以前的国王在桌旁睡着，在他身旁王后双手抱着头睡着。然后，他来到一间有花和有阳光的屋子，窗户开着，玫瑰花已经从外爬进了窗户，长满了房间。金色的阳光透过窗户洒落在床上，公主躺在床上，她的眼睛闭着，也睡着。

　　王子吻了她，她醒了过来。随即整座房子里的人都醒了。门口的人醒了；一些手里拿着吃的人醒了；妇女醒了，穿上了她的鞋；男孩醒了，看他的故事。在桌旁的国王醒了，王后揉了揉眼睛，说：“国王，你刚才说什么来着？我睡着了。”

　　公主嫁给了王子，他们成为国王和王后。
