All this hype about Shrek 3 and the fairytale characters that appear in it got me thinking about the fairytales i used to love to read when I was small. What I used to love about these stories were the princesses. Some of them are given below: Sleeping Beauty
This is my all time favourite fairytale. It's so romantic and has so many different scenes in it.
Eg.
- * The christening and the gifts bestowed upon the baby Aurora by the fairies
* The time spent away from the castle - * The pricking of the finger on the spindle
- * Enter the prince and the fight to get to Sleeping Beauty
- * The Kiss (ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!) and the awakening.
Snow White
Loved the 7 dwarfs.
1. Doc
2. Happy
3. Sleepy
4. Bashful
5. Dopey
6. Sneezy
4. Bashful
5. Dopey
6. Sneezy
7. Grumpy (My favourite!)
Cinderella
Not one of my favourites (too much housework involved!!!) ;)The Little Mermaid
This one is tooooooooooooo sad for me. I don't like it much because the prince chooses another girl over Ariel. Plus it has a lot of pain in it if I recall correctly (doesn't her feet hurt after she turns into a human?)
Aladdin
Beauty & the Beast
As usual, my thoughts are greatly influenced by various articles of Shrek 3. Click here to find out which article made me write this post. ;)

There was a short story in the Grade 8 or 9 Sinhala book called 'Lama Mahalla' - it's a story by Anton Chekhov translated into Sinahalese - better you read it :) - just kidding :)
