It highlights how the “Blue Fairy Book” version reshapes expectations, including the prince’s marriage and the ogress mother-in-law plot twist. The issue also provides discussion questions, vocabulary definitions, and reflection prompts about kindness, bravery, love and loyalty, and consequences of evil actions.","MOTHERMELANIA'SMONTHLY MISSIVE-May 2026  \nA not entirely random mix of reflections on life,coloring pages,thoughts about kids'books &updates on Mother Melania's books  \n# Mother Melania's Book Update\n\nToday's Reflection -  \nAs with last month,the Blue Fairy Book versionof 'Sleeping Beauty'definitely doesn't endwhere we expect.Yes,the Prince finds SleepingBeauty and DOES marry her,but the storydoesn't end'happily ever after’-at least,notyet.There is the small matter of the Prince'smother being an ogress with a taste for children-including her own grandchildren!Don'tworry,she DOESN'T eat them.But needless tosay,she wasn't the best mother-in-law orgrandma.  \nQuiz Yourself on theBook of Isaiah isnow available onAmazon as a Kindlebook through theend of May for  \nQUIZYOURSELFON THE BOOK OF SAIAH  \nQuizes from Easy Peasy to Mega Master  \nS0.99 or as aprinted booklet fromthe monastery for  \n$4.00.  \nUnfortunately,our culture gives us theimpression that if you marry the'right′person,you WILL live happily ever after-well,90 or95%of the time,anyway.But either that isn'ttrue,or Americans aren't particularly good atpicking the right person.  \n# Classic Kids'Tales:Sleeping Beauty\n\nThink you know the story of Sleeping Beauty?You probably don't know THIS version.If youwant to find out what happens when theprince's mother turns out to be an ogress -aREAL one-join us!  \nInterestingly,I have several friends from othercultures who are happily married in arrangedmarriages.Don't worry -I'm not suggestingthat!But these couples didn't choose each otherat all,and yet they learned to love one another.One advantage of not thinking you HAVE tofind the right person is that you can learn tolove the person you actually marry.And thegood news is that you can do that no matter howyour marriage started,if you are committed toeach other.  \nThat reminds me of a couple I used to work with.They clearly loved each other and were a joy tobe around.One day-it happened to be their14th anniversary -  I said,'HappyAnniversary,'to which the wife replied,'Thankyou;it's been 12 of the best years of our lives.'The moral?You'll never get the 12 best years ifyou aren't willing to go through the 2not-so-great ones.And that isn't just aboutmarriage.It's about life.  \nFor a free copy of Sleeping Beauty,click here.  \nWhat'sin the Back Pages?  \n·Sleeping Beauty worksheets  \n·Scripture verse coloring page  \n## SLEEPING BEAUTY-Discussion Questions\n\n·What did the kingand queen want more than anything at the start ofthe story?o They wanteda child.  \n·How many fairies were invited to the princess's christening party?o Seven.  \n·What gifts did the good fairies give to the babyprincess?  \no Beingbeautiful,witty,graceful,good at dancing,singing,and playing music.  \n·Why was the old fairyangry?  \no She wasn't invitedto the christening party  \n·Why wasn't the old fairyinvited?  \no She hadn't been seen forover50 years,so they thought she was dead orenchanted.  \n·What bad thing did the old fairy saywould happen to the princess?  \no She would prick her hand on aspindle and die.  \n·How did the youngest fairy change the old fairy's curse?  \no She made it so the princess wouldsleep for 100 yearsinstead of dying.  \n·What did the kingdototryto stop the curse from happening?  \no He banned allspindles in the kingdom.  \n·Where did the princess find the spindle and prick her finger?  \no In atower roomwhere anoldwoman was spinning.  \n·What happened to everyone in the palace after the princess fell asleep?  \no They all fellasleep too,including people,animals,and even the food on the fire.  \n·What grew around the palace to keep people away?  \no Athick forest of trees,bushes,and thorny brambles.  \n·How many years did the princess and the palace sleep?o 100 years.  \n·Whowoke up the princess,and how didhe get into the palace?  \no Aprince;the thorns parted to let him through.  \n·What are the names of the two children the princess and prince had?o Morning(the daughter)and Day(the son).  \n·Who triedto eat the c","cbCaijFMX0yYXl2C","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijFMX0yYXl2C","pdf",5075637,2,1,13,"English","en",105,"# Mother Melania's Book Update\n## Today's Reflection\n## Classic Kids'Tales: Sleeping Beauty\n## SLEEPING BEAUTY-Discussion Questions\n## SLEEPING BEAUTY-Discussion Questions (Cont.)\n## SLEEPING BEAUTY-Vocabulary","[{\"question\":\"What twist does this Sleeping Beauty version introduce after the prince finds and marries her?\",\"answer\":\"The story doesn’t end “happily ever after” as expected, because the prince’s mother is an ogress with a taste for children, including her own grandchildren.\"},{\"question\":\"Which lessons does the document emphasize from the story?\",\"answer\":\"It stresses kindness matters, bravery can lead to good outcomes, love and loyalty are powerful, and evil actions bring consequences.\"},{\"question\":\"What are some key discussion topics included in the worksheets?\",\"answer\":\"The worksheets cover who was invited to the christening, why the old fairy was angry, how the curse was changed, how the spindle was found, what happened during the 100-year sleep, and how the ogress was defeated.\"}]","Mother Melania's Book Update -
