1Once upon a time, there lived a very rich man.
2He had three daughters.
3Two of them were really greedy and self centered girls.
4But the third one had a heart full of love and kindness.
5One day their dad received the news that his ships had sunk due to the storm.
6Poor man had lost everything and was left with only his little house in the village.
7The two greedy sisters were of course not pleased with this situation.
8All day long all they were doing was sitting around and complaining.
9All the housework was left to Beauty.
10After a while, their father heard that one of his lost ships had made it to the harbour.
11He started to prepare to go to the harbour right away.
12And before he left, he asked his daughters.
13"What should I bring you when I get back, girls?"
14"Dress, shoes, necklace, and bracelets."
15"and what about you Beauty, what do you want?"
16"Just a rose is fine daddy."
17Their father arrived at the harbour after a long journey.
18But neither his stuff on the boat was there nor was the ship usable.
19Sad and tired he started his journey back home.
20It was almost dark when he reached the forest.
21The forest was dark and cold and it was snowing.
22He rode his horse for hours and hours on the snow...
23...and finally he saw a castle with the lights on.
24He entered, hoping maybe they might help him.
25It was a weird castle.
26The lights were on everywhere.
27The dinner table was full of food.
28and there was fire in the chimney.
29But there was no one to be seen...
30He called out for someone but no one answered.
31Finally, not being able to wait anymore.
32He first ate some food from the table.
33And then he slept in one of the beds.
34When he woke up in the morning,
35he found some new clothes next to the bed.
36He went downstairs.
37A nice breakfast was waiting for him on the table.
38"This castle should belong to a fairy or she wouldn't help me like this."
39"I wish I could thank her."
40When he was leaving the castle,
41he noticed the rose garden.
42I could not grant my other daughters' wishes.
43At least I can make Beauty's wish happen, he thought to himself...
44Just as he picked a rose.
45He and his surroundings shook with a loud roar.
46An evil looking lion like beast appeared from behind the trees.
47The father almost fainted when he saw the beast.
48"I saved your life,"
49"I fed you,"
50"I gave you new clothes"
51"and here you are stealing my roses."
52"Is this how you thank me?!"
53The man went on his knees and begged him,
54said that he wanted to take one of the roses to his daughter.
55"What you did will not go unpunished."
56"Please forgive me."
57"I will forgive you with only one condition."
58"Talk to your daughters."
59"If one of them agrees to live here with me,"
60"I will grant your life."
61The man jumped on his horse and sadly head home.
62When at home...
63The two greedy sisters listened to the horrific story their dad went through.
64But did not even hear the Beast's proposal.
65But Beauty did not behave like her sisters.
66"Daddy, if you allow me, I accept to go next to the Beast."
67The two sisters immediately accepted her proposal.
68Because they thought that everything that happened was her fault.
69Sad and hopeless her father took Beauty and head to the castle.
70When they arrived,
71everything was like before.
72The food was on the table and there was no one around.
73Just as they sat down and started to eat...
74The Beast came out
75Beauty started to shake out of fear.
76Because the Beast was as scary as her father had told her.
77Beast asked with a soft voice:
78"Did you come here with your own will?"
79"Yes."
80"Then in the morning your father will go away."
81"And never come back."
82When she woke up in the morning, Beauty knew that her father was gone.
83And she found a nice breakfast waiting for her on the table.
84She wandered around in the garden for a while.
85She felt sad when she looked at the roses.
86Then she went around in the castle.
87One of the doors was full of roses.
88She wondered...
89She opened the door...
90and peeked inside.
91The room was decorated just like she would have liked.
92And it was full of books, flowers and musical instruments.
93She thought that someone who can arrange a room like this would not hurt anybody.
94Then she took a book.
95On the book was written in gold letters.
96My dear queen, your wish is my command.
97"I wish, I could see my father now!"
98As soon as Beauty said it,
99her father appeared in the mirror across the room.
100Beauty was so surprised.
101Seeing her father made her happy again.
102That night at dinner Beast appeared again.
103"Would you let me watch you Beauty?"
104"You own the place, why would you ask me?"
105"No, you own this castle now."
106"If you want, I can leave immediately."
107Beauty was very surprised with his answer.
108"I wanna ask you something."
109"Do you think I'm really ugly?"
110At first she did not know what to say.
111Then she lifted her head to look at Beast
112and nodded as to say "Yes."
113"Well, would you marry me then?"
114This time Beauty answered harshly:
115"No."
116Beast turned around sad and left Beauty alone.
117Beast was visiting Beauty every night at dinner
118and he treated her very kind.
119As days passed, Beauty felt like she was getting used to Beast
120"I wish he wasn't that ugly."
121Couple months passed.
122Beauty was no longer scared of Beast.
123She even started to like him.
124But, one day she saw in the mirror that her father was ill.
125She raced next to Beast and asked him to let her go home.
126Cause, she wanted to take care of her sick father
127"Of course, you can go."
128"But, If you don't come back,"
129"I might die from sadness."
130"I will come back after a week, I promise."
131Beast gave Beauty a ring.
132When she would put this ring on her nightstand and fall asleep.
133She would wake up back in the castle.
134The next morning she woke up in her own bed in her father's house.
135She ran to her father at once.
136When her father saw her, he was so happy that he felt better.
137In the afternoon, Beauty's sisters, who recently had gotten married, came to visit their father.
138When they found Beauty at home,
139they were furious with envy and anger.
140And they decided to play a little trick on her.
141"Lets make her stay here one more week."
142"Then the Beast will come and kill her."
143The two sisters came next to Beauty,
144crying, and told her that they didn't want to be apart.
145Beauty promised to stay one more week.
146Not long after, Beauty realised that she missed Beast.
147One day, she saw a dream where Beast was lifeless on the ground in the castle's garden.
148She woke up in a sweat.
149"What I'm doing is cruel and selfish!"
150So, she immediately took the ring off her finger,
151put it on the nightstand beside her
152and she woke up in the Beast's castle in the morning.
153She waited for the Beast all day long.
154But, he was nowhere to be seen.
155She waited for hours and hours.
156But, Beast did not come.
157Suddenly, she went running into the garden.
158Beast was lying down lifeless on the ground,
159just like she saw in her dream.
160Beauty ran next to him and hugged him.
161Beast's heart was still beating.
162He rarely opened his eyes and spoke with difficulty.
163"I thought you weren't coming back."
164"I stopped eating and prepared to die."
165"But I love you and I want to marry you."
166At that instant, something magical happened.
167Suddenly the castle became brighter and more beautiful.
168Beauty looked around stunned and then she turned her head back to the Beast.
169But, where the ugly Beast was lying,
170now there was a young and handsome prince.
171When she saw him Beauty started to cry.
172"Who are you? And, where did the Beast go?"
173Prince stood up... and started to tell...
174"I am the Beast."
175"an evil witch put a spell on me."
176"She turned me into an ugly beast."
177"If you hadn't said that you wanted to marry me,"
178"I would have had to live my life as a beast forever."
179When she heard this, Beauty was much happier.
180With her good heart she found true love.
181Beauty and The Prince got married
182and lived happily ever after...
