Beauty and the Beast Once upon a time, a young Prince lived in a shining castle. One cold night an old beggar woman arrived, offering him a single rose if he would let her take shelter from the cold. But because of her ugliness, he turned her away. Suddenly she changed into a beautiful enchantress. To punish the Prince, she turned him into a terribly ugly beast. Then she gave him a magic mirror and the rose, telling him it would bloom until his twenty-first year. To break the spell, he must love another and earn that person’s love before the last petal fell. In a small village nearby, a beautiful young woman named Belle hurried through town. She greeted the people and then rushed to her favorite shop – the bookstore. The owner gave her a book as a gift. A dreamy look crossed Belle’s face. “It’s my favorite! Far-off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise… Oh, thank you very much!” Belle rushed outside, reading as she walked. As Belle walked, a handsome hunter named Gaston ran after her. “Belle, the whole town’s talking about you. It’s not right for a woman to read! It’s about time you got your nose out of those books and paid attention to more important things – like me!”
