But the Queen Mother’s appetite was insatiable, and next she wanted to eat the Queen, Sleeping Beauty, herself. Once again, the cook sent away the little boy and served up a young kid or baby goat for the Queen Mother to feast upon instead. (She couldn’t tell that it was Lamb and not Little Girl that she was eating.) Meanwhile, the cook sent away Morning to be kept safe by his wife in their chambers in the palace.īut the Queen Mother was soon hungry again, and wanted to have Day for her dinner this time. But the cook was a kind man, who instead slaughtered a lamb and dished it up for the Queen Mother to eat. In his absence, his mother, the Queen Mother, sent away Sleeping Beauty to the country, and sent the cook to kill Morning, the young daughter of the King and Sleeping Beauty, and cook her so that the Queen Mother could eat her with a nice sauce.
