The three good fairies of the land first appear in ''Sleeping Beauty'' at Princess Aurora's birthday celebration to bestow upon her their gifts. Flora gives her the gift of beauty to have the gold of sunshine in her hair, lips that shame the reddest rose and that she walks with springtime wherever she goes. Fauna gives her the gift of song, melody her whole life long, nightingales and troubadours that bring sweet serenades to her door. Before Merryweather can give her a gift, Maleficent arrives and is angered that she was not invited to the celebration so she also gives a "gift" to Aurora. She curses Aurora so that before the sun sets on her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. After Maleficent leaves, Merryweather gives a gift to lessen the curse so that when she pricks her finger she will only fall asleep. | The three good fairies of the land first appear in ''Sleeping Beauty'' at Princess Aurora's birthday celebration to bestow upon her their gifts, as they’re announced by King Stefan’s head messenger and majordomo, Lord Duke.
