In a
story reminiscent of the public's attitude towards
royalty today, Prince Ferdinand of Saxonia must find a
bride so that his popularity is not overshadowed by that
of his cousin Gerzell, who would take Saxonia into war if
he were crowned King. His mother the Queen, and the
Chancellor, are at a loss as to who the Prince should
marry, but the Fairy Appleblossom has plans to pair him
off with the Princess Adora. She was put to sleep many
years ago, along with the rest of the kingdom of
Miltonia, by the wicked Fairy Almitira. Adora will only
awaken if she is kissed by someone who is fearless and
has never loved. The Prince decides to go and find and
waken Adora after being shown how Miltonia was put to
sleep in a play...

"The Prince comes of age in a few weeks. He must
take his place as the head of his people, and they are
already showing that they are quite dissapointed in him.
For one thing they insist it is his duty to marry."
"I am the Fairy Appleblossom. I would
like to help your son."
"Everyone who has been invited to
the christening is present." - "No-one was left
out, surely?"
- "Well, at the last minute I decided not to invite
Fairy Almitira."
Queen Windolene and King Rudolpho bake a sunshine cake
for Princess Adora's 20th birthday.
"I am sorry, but you do not understand how
much I want to go out of doors." Adora has
been kept indoors so that she would not prick herself on
anything.
"I think I can diagnose the case of the Princess
with considerable accuracy." - "Yes, yes?"
- "She is asleep."
Adora is tricked into pricking her finger.
"Mother, the Princess, is she only fantasy?
No, she is real, I know it. My heart tells me that she is
real. How can I find her?"
Did someone say 'Arthur Mo'?
"Who were the strangers with the Queen and
Chancellor?" - "Best not to say, do you
think?"
- "Best not. It's dangerous to talk."
"I wonder if you have any idea how happy it makes me
to see you here in my home. I always thought this big
place was gloomy and cold, tonight it seems bright and
joyous."
"Today I am awake and happy. I want you
all to share with me this happiness and love."
Adora and Ferdinand celebrate
before their wedding day.
