In a small kingdom, there lived a princess named Sophie. She was kind, funny, and loved to eat cake. She also loved to sleep!
Every morning, the king said, “Wake up, Sophie!”
But Sophie just said, “Five more minutes, please…” and went back to sleep.
One day, the king said, “No more cake if you sleep all day!”
Sophie opened one eye. “No cake? Oh no!” But then she yawned and said, “Maybe just five more minutes…”
The people in the kingdom laughed. “She is the Sleeping Princess!” they said.
One night, a tiny wizard came to the castle. He was very old and had a big white beard.
He said, “Princess Sophie must wake up and help the kingdom!”
So, the wizard used a small spell. He made her dream about a big chocolate cake—flying in the sky!
Sophie jumped up in bed and shouted, “Cake! Where is the cake?!”
The king laughed. “You’re awake! Finally!”
Sophie smiled. “I had the best dream!”
From that day, Sophie woke up early, helped the people, and only slept at night.
But she still loved cake.
And sometimes, just sometimes… she still said,
“Five more minutes, please!”
