Before we discuss the first version,
01:15.1
01:19.8
let's recall first the Disney version of The Sleeping Beauty.
01:19.9
01:23.7
In this movie, there was an evil fairy named Maleficent
01:23.8
01:28.1
who has deep hatred towards the King, father of Aurora.
01:28.2
01:31.0
In a celebration for Aurora's birth,
01:31.1
01:34.6
the evil fairy came and cursed Aurora.
01:34.7
01:36.7
On the 16th birthday of the princess,
01:36.8
01:39.9
she'll be pierced with the needle of a spindle wheel
01:40.0
01:41.5
and will immediately die.
01:41.6
01:44.3
One fairy managed to lessen the effect of the curse,
01:44.4
01:48.7
instead of dying immediately, she'll just fall into a deep slumber
01:48.8
01:52.2
and only a true love's kiss will wake her.
01:52.3
01:57.3
The King ordered all of the spindle wheels in the palace to be burned
01:57.4
02:01.8
and the fairies brought Aurora in the forest to protect.
02:01.9
02:07.6
Aurora lived in the forest with her fairy godmothers for 16 years.
02:07.7
02:10.7
However, she's still clueless of her real identity
02:10.8
02:14.0
and she knows nothing about being accursed.
02:14.1
02:17.4
One day, she happily danced alone
02:17.5
02:22.5
and she met Prince Phillip from an another palace.
02:22.6
02:24.7
They immediately fell in love with each other
02:24.8
02:28.8
but their relationship ended as the fairies decided
02:28.9
02:30.6
to bring Aurora back home to the kingdom
02:30.7
02:34.0
for Aurora might know about her real identity.
02:34.1
02:37.2
It's a mistake for the fairies to leave Aurora alone.
02:37.3
02:41.1
Because of this, Aurora fell on the evil fairy's snare
02:41.2
02:44.4
and that's when she got pricked by a spindle wheel.
02:44.5
02:46.9
When Prince Phillip knew what happened,
02:47.0
02:49.9
he immediately went to save the princess.
02:50.0
02:52.2
The good fairies helped the prince
02:52.3
02:55.3
which resulted in finally killing the evil fairy.
02:55.4
02:58.6
When the prince kissed Aurora, she woke up
02:58.7
03:01.9
and they lived happily ever after.
03:02.0
03:05.2
Isn't this story of Sleeping Beauty beautiful?
03:05.3
03:08.8
But would you believe that in its original version,
03:08.9
03:11.0
there was rape and cannibalism?
03:11.1
03:16.4
The original version of this was written by Giambattista Basile in 1634.
03:16.5
03:19.9
It is entitled "Sun, Moon, and Talia".
03:20.0
03:24.0
And here's how the story started...
03:24.1
03:28.2
This story began with the baby named Princess Talia.
03:28.3
03:31.0
Unlike the Disney movie, there was no curse here.
03:31.1
03:36.4
But fortunetellers has said that something bad will happen to the princess
03:36.5
03:38.7
that was connected to any things used in sewing.
03:38.8
03:45.0
Because of this, the king ordered all materials related to sewing be thrown.
03:45.1
03:47.9
Several years have passed and when Talia has grown into a lady,
03:48.0
03:50.9
she saw a woman outside the castle
03:51.0
03:54.8
who uses sewing materials such as needle and yarn.
03:54.9
04:00.4
It was her first to see such things so she told the woman to come near the castle.
04:00.5
04:03.0
Talia took a good look at the needle.
04:03.1
04:08.8
She got pricked by the needle and a part of it was left inside her nails.
04:08.9
04:13.5
Because of this, she lost consciousness and never woke up.
04:13.6
04:20.5
The King knew what happened and everyone thought that the princess was dead.
04:20.6
04:27.0
They all left Talia's home residence with her body.
04:27.1
04:30.1
No one came near the house, including the King
04:30.2
04:33.5
as he was in deep sorrow for losing his daughter.
04:33.6
04:37.4
After several days, a King of an another kingdom
04:37.5
04:40.3
discovered the abandoned house.
04:40.4
04:43.3
When he entered, he saw Talia.
04:43.4
04:48.3
He did everything he could to wake the sleeping woman.
04:48.4
04:52.0
This King believed that Talia wasn't dead yet.
04:52.1
04:55.9
And here's where the story gets odd...
04:56.0
05:00.0
After several attempts, he got tired of trying to wake the princess.
05:00.1
05:05.0
However, he couldn't stop himself from getting attracted to the sleeping princess.
05:05.1
05:09.9
Because of this, the next thing he did was something you wouldn't like.
05:10.0
05:13.2
He raped the unconscious princess
05:13.3
05:16.3
and then he left to go back to his kingdom.
05:16.4
05:22.6
The King didn't know that he got Talia pregnant with a twin: a girl and a boy.
05:22.7
05:27.5
After 9 months, she gave birth to the kids unconsciously
05:27.6
05:33.0
and it happened with the help of the fairies similar to the movie.
05:33.1
05:40.3
After birth, the fairies helped the babies to drink milk from their mother.
05:40.4
05:44.7
One day, one of the babies sucked Talia's fingers
05:44.8
05:49.5
and the stucked particle of the needle in Talia's nail was suddenly removed.
05:49.6
05:54.4
Talia immediately woke up and as her appreciation to the twins,
05:54.5
05:56.6
she decided to take care of the babies.
05:56.7
06:01.5
According to this story, Talia didn't know that the twins were hers.
06:01.6
06:09.1
The King remembered Talia and he decided to come to see what happened to her.
06:09.2
06:12.3
He was shocked to see that the princess was awake
06:12.4
06:16.3
and he was more shocked to see that she's with twin babies.
06:16.4
06:22.9
The king was totally glad that he told Talia the whole story of why she gave birth.
06:23.0
06:25.7
The king stayed to that house for several days
06:25.8
06:28.2
and their family were somehow happy.
06:28.3
06:32.5
But the king has to leave again to come back to his kingdom.
06:32.6
06:36.9
However, the king was too happy with Talia and their kids
06:37.0
06:42.1
that he kept on mentioning their names "Sun, Moon, and Talia"
06:42.2
06:44.8
even though he was already married to someone.
06:44.9
06:48.8
His real wife heard the names he mentioned
06:48.9
06:50.7
and she began to become suspicious of him.
06:50.8
06:53.3
The Queen had scared off the King's secretary
06:53.4
06:57.6
to tell her who Sun, Moon, and Talia really are.
06:57.7
07:02.5
Because of fear, the secretary confessed that the King has another family.
07:02.6
07:10.0
In the Queen's anger, she ordered the secretary to send Talia a letter with the King's name.
07:10.1
07:13.4
According to the letter, the King missed the children
07:13.5
07:16.2
and he invited them to come to his castle.
07:16.3
07:20.4
Because of this, Talia sent the kids to the palace.
07:20.5
07:24.1
The Queen ordered the chef to kill the children
07:24.2
07:28.0
to cook and serve for the King's dinner.
07:28.1
07:31.6
Luckily, the chef pitied the children.
07:31.7
07:36.5
He brought them to his wife to hide and protect them.
07:36.6
07:41.6
He cooked and served young sheeps instead.
07:41.7
07:45.5
Later that night, the King and Queen ate dinner together.
07:45.6
07:50.4
While eating, the Queen kept blabbing weird stuff to the King
07:50.5
07:54.1
because she thought that the King was already eating his children.
07:54.2
07:57.8
However, the King had no clue on what the Queen was doing.
07:57.9
08:01.5
He only got annoyed and slept in their villa.
08:01.6
08:08.1
The Queen wasn't content so she sent Talia a letter with the King's name again.
08:08.2
08:13.0
According to the second letter, the King is inviting Talia to the palace.
08:13.1
08:18.1
When Talia arrived to the palace, she was welcomed by an angry Queen.
08:18.2
08:22.5
In the Queen's anger, she said hurtful words towards Talia.
08:22.6
08:28.4
As much as Talia wanted to explain, she thought that the Queen won't listen
08:28.5
08:30.7
no matter how she begs to her.
08:30.8
08:33.8
So Talia thought of another plan.
08:33.9
08:38.2
She wished if she could undress before she got burned alive by the Queen
08:38.3
08:41.8
so her pretty clothes won't be ruined.
08:41.9
08:44.5
The Queen agreed not because she pities her,
08:44.6
08:48.1
but because she wanted the clothes that Talia was wearing.
08:48.2
08:52.3
As to what Talia had planned, she undressed very slowly
08:52.4
08:54.4
while crying extremely loud.
08:54.5
08:58.2
Meanwhile, the King is coming from his villa
08:58.3
09:00.9
and he heard the loud cries of Talia.
09:01.0
09:06.1
There he saw naked Talia in front of her legal wife.
09:06.2
09:10.1
The King as the Queen on what she was doing.
09:10.2
09:13.9
The Queen answered that she's not only going to burn Talia
09:14.0
09:17.2
but she had also fed the children to the King.
09:17.3
09:20.7
The King was disgusted and got extremely angry at what the Queen had done.
09:20.8
09:26.3
In the King's anger, he ordered his secretary,
09:26.4
09:28.7
the queen, and the chef to be killed and burned.
09:28.8
09:31.4
The secretary and the Queen was punished.
09:31.5
09:37.8
But when it was the chef's turn, he told the King that he saved the twins.
09:37.9
09:43.3
Because of this, the King, Talia and their twin children got together
09:43.4
09:46.3
and then they lived happily ever after.
09:46.4
09:49.5
The original version of The Sleeping Beauty is really
09:49.6
09:52.4
far different from the Disney version that we know.
09:52.5
09:56.2
Personally, I was glad at the part where I realized that
09:56.3
10:00.3
the true love that woke The Sleeping Beauty was from her children.
10:00.4
10:02.8
And here's where this video ends.
