Sun, Moon, and Talia

Charles Perrault retold this fairy tale in 1697 as Sleeping Beauty, as did the Brothers Grimm in 1812 as Little Briar Rose.

He finds Talia; overcome by her beauty, he tries unsuccessfully to wake her, and then, "crying aloud, he beheld her charms and felt his blood course hotly through his veins.

One day, the girl cannot find her mother's breast; instead, she begins to suck her finger and draws the flax splinter out.

Talia awakens immediately and names her beloved children Sun and Moon, and lives with them in the house.

The two fall in love; however, the king is already married, and one night he calls out the names of Talia, Sun, and Moon in his sleep.

His wife, the queen, hears him and she forces the king's secretary to tell her everything, and then, using a forged message, has Talia's children brought to court.
