It's not completely clear where the options start and stop, but here you go!

"In a house ... there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after ... they were warned, by that wise old witch ... not to take on anyone off the street." Happily ever after and wise old witches are typical fairy tale traits. Also a Prince is typical for fairy tales so this one is also a correct option " the Prince who braves the terrible thicket of thorns to enter the palace and kiss the Sleeping Beauty back to life."
