How did she live in a section of the castle and did not know the king's proclamation against spindles?
-
The princess shall indeed pierce her hand with a spindle; but, instead of dying, she shall only fall into a profound sleep, which shall last a hundred years, at the expiration of which a king's son shall come and awake her."

ut the cook was tender hearted and, seeing these two beautiful golden apples, felt pity and compassion for them, and he carried them home to his wife, and had her hide them.
This was also like Snow White where the henchman could not bring himself to kill Snow White so he let her go and killed a bear to take those lungs instead to trick the Queen.
-
Then the queen, with a heart of Medea, told the cook to kill them, and to make them into several tasteful dishes for her wretched husband.
This adds to the over all structure we have been learning as well because it is like the Evil Queen in the Snow White fairy tale from last week where she wanted Snow White killed and her lungs taken out so she could eat them. Here the Queen wants to kill the Kings children and serve them to him.

He lifted her in his arms, and carried her to a bed, where he gathered the first fruits of love. Leaving her on the bed, he returned to his own kingdom, where, in the pressing business of his realm, he for a time thought no more about this incident.

hen, as she was so tired, she laid herself down on one of the little beds, but none of them suited her, one was too long, another too short, but at last she found that the seventh one was right, and so she remained in it, said a prayer and went to sleep.
This part of the story reminds me of the Goldilocks story

She had been as sad as anyone when misfortune overtook her father, but, soon recovering her natural gaiety, she set to work to make the best of things, to amuse her father and brothers as well as she could, and to try to persuade her sisters to join her in dancing and singing.
