I take this very seriously and I really appreciate your support and co-operation.

| 0:00.0 | Once upon a time there was a princess. You've probably heard of her because her name was Sleeping Beauty, and she was cursed to sleep for 100 years. The good fairy didn't want Sleeping Beauty to wake up after 100 years and find herself all alone. |
| 0:24.0 | So she used her magic to put everyone in the castle to sleep as well. |
| 0:29.3 | All of that you probably know. |
| 0:31.6 | But what you probably don't know was the bit that happened in the middle while everyone was asleep. This is that story. |
| 0:42.4 | It had been ten years since Sleeping Beauty had pricked her finger. The snoozing castle lay undisturbed, |

| 0:57.6 | wall to keep people out and to protect the castle's sleeping inhabitants. It should have been a |

| 1:39.9 | Tell me about it, complained of Fox. |
| 1:42.7 | I'm at my wits end. |
| 1:44.6 | Well, it wouldn't be so bad if she was awake for half the day, like most people,' said a squirrel, |
| 1:50.4 | "'but she's asleep all of the time.' |
| 1:53.1 | Another tremendous snore shook the tree, almost knocking the squirrel from her branch. |
| 2:00.5 | "'Khr!' "'What!' almost knocking the squirrel from her branch. |
| 2:10.2 | Well, somebody has got to do something, snapped the owl. |
| 2:12.8 | Then I'll do it, declared the fucks. |
