Oh! Um--so the North Wind took her to the castle East of the Sun and West of the Moon. Once there, she takes out the golden apple, which the wicked stepdaughter--the one the prince is supposed to marry--sees and wants to buy. The girl agrees to sell her the apple, but only if the wicked stepdaughter lets her spend a night with the prince. [This all sounds much racier than intended.] The wicked stepdaughter agrees, but gives the prince a sleeping potion, so the peasant's daughter will not be able to wake him. The next day, the same thing happens with the golden carding comb, and she is once again unable to wake the prince.
But by the next night, the prince had caught on. So when the daughter traded her golden spinning wheel for a chance to spend the night with the prince, he was awake.
