He said he was so happy that they could all come to his daughter’s baby shower and told them to enjoy the grand buffet and the lovely music. He also added that they could leave their presents onthat table over there.
Suddenly A Crazy Guru started to act crazy and shouted at him that he was a foolish man. He toldhim he shouldn’t have mocked him on television all those years. A crazy Guru shouted that he would curse his daughter because that would be his only gift for her. He added that on her sixteenth birthday she would prick herself and fallinto a deep sleep and nothing would ever wake her up.
The Prime Minister got up and he shouted that hewas just a crazy old man and asked him to get outof his house. Those yoga gurus with their idiotic spirituality...

He warned the Prime Minister just to wait until she would turn 16 and then the Prime Minister would see that Crazy Guru wasn’t as crazy as hethought.
The Prime Minister disregarded the guru’s warning and went on to live his life, as did Rosa, the little girl. Years later, when the girl was aboutto turn sixteen, the Prime Minister was hanging out with his daughter while he was knitting, a hobby he had picked up during the lockdown.
Rosa greeted his dad and asked how he was doing. Rosa’s dad answered he was doing great.
Rosa sighed and said she was so bored and shehad absolutely nothing to do.

His dad said he could tell her a story about her baby shower if she wanted.
Of course Rosa wanted to know what had happened. Then the Prime Minister told his daughter all about the curse and the crazy guru. The Prime Minister was pleased that he had explained everything to his daughter. To finish hisstory the Prime Minister said, „...and then he left yelling like an absolute nutcase.“
Rosa thought that the story was really intense butshe sighed and said that luckily the guru had beenjust a crazy man and the whole curse wasn’t actually true. The Prime Minister was sure that it would ever be possible and would never let that happen to his daughter.
Then Rosa said, "So, you are still busy with that quarantine hobby. I have always wondered howyou did it, could you teach me, please?“
The Prime Minister agreed to teach her, "Underthe loop, over the other needle and wrap the thread around, like this...“ He handed the needlesto Rosa. She took them and started knitting but quickly pricked her finger and fell asleep. The
Prime Minister started to panic and cried for his daughter but then he also fell asleep.
Everybody was getting sleepy and the guru’s curse actually came true. The whole republic fell into a deep, deep sleep that they wouldn’t wake up from. The republic got overgrown by weeds with huge thorns that grew thicker and thicker each year. The Crazy Guru laughed,“ They didn’t listen to me and look what happened to them! Haha, finally some peace in this awful city.“ And he left.
But after 100 years, a brave young man dared toventure to the villa where Rosa was still vast asleep.

He said,“She is just as beautiful as they said she’dbe. Now it’s my turn to try and wake her up. Whatdid the old man say? I didn’t pay that much attention to his story. I guess I have to kiss her?“
He kissed the princess, Rosa woke up and wasconfused.
Rosa asked how long she had been sleeping. Shehad thought she would never wake up. She wanted to know what had happened and whereeveryone was. She called her dad.
The Prince didn’t listen to her and understood that he had been victorious. He said that he hadknown he could lift the curse.
