Вокруг замка выросли колючие кусты, и многие принцы пытались пробраться к ней, но не могли. Спустя сто лет один смелый принц нашёл путь сквозь тернии и, увидев спящую красавицу, поцеловал её. Принцесса проснулась, и вместе они праздновали свою любовь и счастье. Сказка учит нас о силе любви и о том, что добро всегда побеждает зло.

The world was rough for Rosie. The front porch she called home was noisy and cold, and other cats, lean and quick, fought for scraps and dry spots. Rosie tried to keep up, but her small body was too weak, her ribs too sharp beneath her matted fur. She wheezed with every breath, her thin tail covered in dirt, and the ache inside her made moving feel impossible. Next door was a house Rosie often found herself near when the pain got too bad. Light spilled from its windows, and inside, a man and woman moved together, their faces kind but lined with sadness. Something about the house felt safe. One evening, Rosie collapsed near their yard, her body trembling, too tired to move. The man stepped outside, crouching near her with a plate of food. Rosie dragged herself forward, eating for the first time in days, her body shaking with the effort. “Poor thing,” the woman said softly, reaching out her hand but not touching Rosie right away. Her fingers smelled warm and gentle, not like the world Rosie knew.he next morning, the couple wrapped her in a soft towel.

For the first time,Rosie wasn’t just surviving—she was living. Nestled between them on the couch oneevening, Rosie purred softly, knowing she had finally found her place: her fur-ever home

In a magical realm high above the Earth, a multitude of twinkling stars danced and played hide-and-seek among fluffy clouds. Their laughter echoed through the night sky, creating a symphony of joy. One fateful evening, something extraordinary happened—a radiant ball of light appeared, illuminating the darkness. It was the moon, shining brighter than anything the stars had ever seen. At first, the stars were mesmerized and a bit shy, captivated by the moon's serene beauty and gentle glow. Among them was a brave little star named Twinkle. Feeling adventurous, he decided to approach the moon and say hello. As he zoomed across the sky, he left a sparkling trail behind him, a testament to his excitement. The moon welcomed Twinkle with warmth and kindness, her light wrapping around him like a cozy blanket. Twinkle shared tales of the games played among the stars, and the moon listened intently, her glow twinkling with delight. She began to share her own stories—adventures from her travels around Earth, where she had witnessed vast oceans, towering mountains, and bustling cities filled with life. Amazed by her stories, Twinkle raced back to his star friends to share this newfound wonder. Initially hesitant, the other stars soon gathered around the moon as Twinkle's enthusiasm sparked their curiosity. They listened as she taught them about her monthly transformations and introduced them to her friend, the sun, who shone brightly during the day. The moon also taught the stars a new game—a celestial dance where they twinkled together in harmony. The night sky became alive with laughter and joy as they played and learned from one another. The stars cherished their time with the moon, appreciating her gentle voice and wise insights.
