Once upon a time there was a rich ship owner who had two daughters.
He and his daughters had to go live in a tiny cottage deep in woods where nothing
was easy and pleasant as it had been.
But Beauty was cheerful even there and sang as she worked about the cottage
I'm as poor as ever
hard luck
I might as well start home again with my bad news.
If you're traveling,sit,you'd best be starting. Those clouds look ugly.
The storm grows worse every moment.
Heaven knows what the poor horse fears that could be worse than this night.
it's as mild as a summer's night
you'll find dinner waiting you,and every comfort for the night
Here is the supper table set and waiting for you.
I'm weary enough to ask no questions.
That sounds fine to me.
It rests with you.
Wasn't it enough that I gave you freedom of my castle,fed you and sheltered you?
I'll show you by eating you alive.
It was not for myself that I wanted the rose.
when I left home I asked each daughter what she would have me bring back as a gift.
I can take Ethlinda nothing of what she asked.
I will spare your life on one condition--that you go home and send me one of those
daughters in your stead.
buy my life with one of theirs?
I do not ask you to force either of them to come
How can i ask either such a question.
How could either agree to come?
if neither is willing to come, you yourself must return.
I only pretended to accept that creature's terrible suggestion so I could see you both
once more.
If I don't, he will come after me and kill me here.
you walk right into his clutches.
It was the rose I asked for which brought about this misfortune.
let us be on our way
Heaven grant that even a beast so fearsome as he is will
be touched by your goodness and love.
Now,nervous but determined,they are entering the castle.
No sign of anyone anywhere.
you have kept your word and brought one of your daughters.
Silence! Have you come willingly, Beauty?
Will you be content to stay here when your father goes away?
if that is the price of my father's life.
It will not be long journey as you travel this time.
You will then be carried swift as the wind out and over the land and placed safely
in your own home.
Say whatever your heart tells you to.
It's growing late.
No harm will come to you.
And everything that can be done to make you happy will be at your command.
Be not misled by appearances.
do not judge by what you see on the surface.
How long is it since I came to this mysterious castle?
My heart ached for him.
you mustn't cry and spoil your pretty eyes.
I long to see my father and my sister
you would leave a miserable, unhappy beast alone.
Should you be longer than that, you will be too late.
So be it then.
I didn't realize how much you meant to me until i feared you were dead.
I was under an enchantment, Beauty dear, condemned to live as that
hideous Beast, until a maiden would appear who would have the courage to marry the ugly Beast
of her own free will.
could I hope to be set free
Bless you both! and may you live happily ever after.
