This is a story of Beauty and the Beast.

Let's begin now.

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 in return for shelter from the cold.

Repulsed by her ugliness, he turned her away.

Suddenly, she transformed into a beautiful enchantress.

To punish the prince, she turned him into a hideous beast.

Then she gave him a magic mirror and the enchanted rose, telling him it would bloom until his 21st year.

To break the spell, he must love another and earn that person's love in return before the last petal fell.

Nearby, in a small village, a beautiful young woman named Belle hurried through town.

She greeted the townspeople 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.

Belle tried to get away without being rude, but Gaston's friend, LeFou, joined them and began to insult her father, an inventor.

My father's not crazy.

He's a genius.

As Belle spoke, an explosion boomed from her father's cottage, and she took off running.

At the cottage, Belle found her father and told him what the villagers were saying about her.

They think I'm odd, Papa.

Don't worry, Belle.

My invention's going to change everything for us.

We won't have to live in this little town forever.

Belle's father hitched up their horse, Philippe, and set off for the fair with his new invention.

Belle waved.

Goodbye.

Good luck.

But Maurice got lost and accidentally led Philippe into a bleak, misty forest.

As he paused to get his bearings, Maurice saw two yellow eyes staring out of the darkness.

It was a wolf.

Philippe reared and bolted away.

Terrified, Maurice ran through the forest with the wolves racing behind him.

When he reached a tall, heavy gate, Maurice dashed inside, slamming the gate on the wolf whose sharp teeth snapped at his leg.

Still trembling, Maurice turned to see a huge, forbidding castle.

Hello?

I've lost my horse and I need a place to stay for the night.

Of course, monsieur, you're welcome here.

Maurice whirled round.

There was no one in sight.

Then he looked down and saw a mantel clock with a stern, frowning face.

Beside him stood a smiling candelabra.

Maurice grabbed the clock and examined it.

This is impossible!

You're alive!

The enchantress had also turned all the prince's servants into household objects.

As Cogsworth, the mantel clerk, protested, Lumiere, the candelabra, showed Maurice into the drawing room.

There he met a friendly teapot named Mrs. Potts and her son, a cute teacup named Chip.

Suddenly the door flew open.

A voice boomed.

There's a stranger here.

Maurice jumped out of his chair.

In the shadows lurked a large, hulking figure.

Please, I needed a place to stay.

I'll give you a place to stay.

The beast grabbed Maurice and dragged him out of the room.

Back home at the cottage, Belle heard a knock at the door and opened it.

Gaston, what a pleasant surprise.

Belle, there's not a girl in town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes.

Do you know why?

Because I want to marry you.

Gaston, I'm speechless.

I'm sorry, but.. but...

I just don't deserve you.

As Gaston left, he tripped and fell in the mud.

When Belle peeked out, she saw that the villagers had gathered in her yard hoping to see a wedding.

The vicar and all Gaston's friends saw him humiliated after the villagers

and a very angry gaston left bell ran outside to feed the chickens

there she found philippe alone philippe what are you doing here where's papa

the horse whinnied anxiously frightened bell leaped onto philippe and returned to the mysterious forest.

Soon they found the castle.

What is this place?

Belle tried to steady Philippe.

Then she saw Maurice's hat on the ground.

Belle hurried inside the gloomy castle and wandered down the vast deserted corridors.

Papa?

Are you here?

It's Belle.

No one replied.

But Belle didn't know that the enchanted objects had seen her.

With joy, Lumiere danced around the mantel clock.

Don't you see?

She's the one.

She has come to break the spell.

Without noticing them, Belle continued to search for her father.

Finally, Belle discovered Maurice locked in a tower.

Papa, we have to get you out of there.

Suddenly she heard a voice from the shadows.

What are you doing here?

Belle gasped.

Please, let my father go.

Take me instead.

100

You would take his place?

101

Belle asked the voice to step into the light and was horrified when she saw the huge, ugly beast.

102

To save her father, however, Belle agreed to stay in the beast's castle forever.

103

The beast dragged Maurice out of the castle and threw him into a carriage that would return him to town.

104

There the inventor stumbled into a tavern where Gaston was surrounded by his friends.

105

Please, I need your help.

106

A horrible beast has been locked in a dungeon.

107

It didn't have cool, sharp fangs.

108

One villager sneered.

109

Maurice grabbed the man's coat.

110

Yes, yes.

111

Will you help me out?

112

We'll help you out, old man.

113

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
