Speaker A
Except kindness.
Speaker B
Perfection, as always.
Speaker A
One cold winter night, an old woman came to the castle door, asking for shelter.
Speaker C
There's a woman outside who wants to see you, your highness.
Speaker D
Please, kind sir, shelter me from the cold, and I shall give you this rose in return.
Speaker B
A rose for a place at my table?
Speaker B
Take your petals and beg elsewhere.
Speaker A
Suddenly, the old woman transformed into a beautiful enchantress.
Speaker E
Because you cannot see beauty within, you shall live as the monster you are inside.
Speaker A
The prince turned into a fearsome beast, and all his servants became living household objects that could talk and move.
Speaker A
The red rose she had offered became enchanted if he did not find true love before the last petal fell, he would remain a beast forever.
Speaker A
In a nearby village lived a kind and curious girl named Belle.
Speaker A
Belle was different from everyone else.
Speaker A
She loved books, stories, and adventure.
Speaker A
The townspeople whispered that she was strange, however they'd calling her the beauty.
Speaker F
She's a sweet girl, but strange, always lost in her pages.
Speaker G
Ha.
Speaker D
Perhaps it's the stories that truly understand me.
Speaker A
Belle dearly loved her father Maurice, a gentle and eccentric inventor.
Speaker G
Almost perfect, almost.
Speaker G
Ha ha ha.
Speaker D
What's happening here, Dad?
Speaker G
Nothing, my dear, every great inventor needs a little chaos.
Speaker G
Look, Belle, my latest masterpiece, it's going to change everything.
Speaker D
It's wonderful, Papa, truly wonderful.
Speaker G
To the fair in the next town, and when I return, perhaps we'll celebrate with one of your stories.
Speaker D
Just promise me you won't get lost this time, Papa.
Speaker G
Promise, my dear.
Speaker A
Maurice set out through the forest to showcase his new invention in another town, but he lost his way among the rain and mist.
Speaker A
He stumbled upon a great dark castle and went inside to take shelter, unaware that it was the Beast's castle.
Speaker G
Hello, is someone there?
Speaker H
Bienvenue, Monsieur, a visitor.
Speaker I
Oh, what a delight!
Speaker I
Lumiere, we shouldn't be talking to strangers.
Speaker A
The Beast learned that a stranger had entered his home.
Speaker A
He flew into a rage.
Speaker B
Who dares enter my castle?
Speaker G
I'm lost, I meant no harm.
Speaker B
You'll pay for your trespass.
Speaker G
No, no, please, let me go.
Speaker A
When Belle discovered her father's disappearance, she rode through the forest and reached the castle.
Speaker D
Father?
Speaker D
Where are you?
Speaker D
Father!
Speaker D
Father, are you here?
Speaker G
Belle!
Speaker G
No, go back, please.
Speaker D
They've locked you up, what kind of monster would do this?
Speaker B
I would, he trespassed.
Speaker D
He was lost and freezing, please, let him go, take me instead.
Speaker B
You would take his place?
Speaker D
He's my father, I'll stay if you release him.
Speaker B
So be it.
Speaker A
The Beast agreed, freeing her father, and from that moment, Belle's greatest adventure began.
Speaker A
At first Belle was frightened and sad.
Speaker A
But as days passed, she discovered the castle was full of magical talking objects.
Speaker A
Belle stepped into a hidden chamber, a library larger than anything she had ever seen, endless shelves and thousands upon thousands of books filled every corner.
Speaker B
You like to read?
Speaker D
More than anything, it's how I visit worlds I may never see.
Speaker A
Slowly, the Beast began to change.
Speaker A
Little by little, they laughed together, talked for hours, and something new began to bloom, the feeling of love.
Speaker J
You were hidden in the shadow, but I see your heart's true light, every step we take together, turns the darkness into bright.
Speaker D
I thought love was not for me, just a tale from someone's book.
Speaker J
But you showed me I was wrong, with just one gentle look.
Speaker A
The next morning Belle was very sad.
Speaker B
What's the matter, dear, you look so sad.
Speaker D
I long to see my father again, please let me go only for a week to see him.
Speaker D
I, I promise to come back.
Speaker B
Beauty.
Speaker B
Isn't because you hate me that you want to escape?
Speaker D
No, it's not that, I do not hate you and I should be very sorry to leave you for some time.
Speaker B
I cannot refuse you anything you ask, even though it should cost me my life.
Speaker B
If you do not come in good time, you will find me dead.
Speaker D
Oh, dear.
Speaker D
I'll never let this happen.
Speaker D
You are always kind to me.
Speaker B
You will not need any chariot to travel.
Speaker B
Wear this ring.
Speaker B
And sleep peacefully.
Speaker B
And you shall see your father when you wake up.
Speaker D
Oh, really?
Speaker D
Thank you.
Speaker D
Thank you so much.
Speaker B
And when you wish to come back, remove this ring from your finger.
Speaker B
And you will find yourself in the palace again.
Speaker D
Good night, Beauty.
Speaker D
And thank you for your kindness.
Speaker A
For the first time, the Beast thought of someone else's happiness before his own.
Speaker A
Beauty hastened to sleep. The next morning she found herself in her own house's bed.
Speaker A
She rushed to find her father.
Speaker A
He hugged her so tightly and started crying with happiness.
Speaker G
Oh, Beauty, I was so worried for you.
Speaker G
I missed you very much, dear.
Speaker D
I missed you too, my father, so much.
Speaker A
Belle told her father about the Beast's kindness.
Speaker A
A week slipped by and Beauty forgot all about returning to the castle.
Speaker A
Until one night she dreamed that the Beast was lying on the ground, dying.
Speaker A
Beauty was so terrified by this dream.
Speaker A
She removed her ring.
Speaker A
Then she fell asleep instantly.
Speaker A
And woke up in the Beast's palace.
Speaker A
She rushed to this spot where she had seen the Beast dying.
Speaker A
The Beast was still there and wasn't moving much.
Speaker D
No, please, don't leave me.
Speaker D
It's my fault to leave you alone, dear.
Speaker A
But then, looking at him again, Belle realized he was still breathing.
Speaker A
Hastily fetching some water, she sprinkled it over his face, and to her great delight, he began to rave.
Speaker D
Oh, dear, how you frightened me.
Speaker D
I never knew how much I loved you until just now.
Speaker D
When I feared I was too late to save your life.
Speaker B
Can you truly love such an ugly creature as I am?
Speaker D
Yes, I do, I see you have a kind and gentle heart, and that is more than I could ever ask for in this life.
Speaker B
Beauty, will you marry me?
Speaker D
Yes.
Speaker A
As soon as Beauty spoke, the Beast gets covered in a blinding light.
Speaker A
And then floats into the air and descends back again as the charming prince.
Speaker A
All the servants turned back into people.
Speaker A
The enchanted rose glowed brightly now a symbol of eternal love.
Speaker B
Oh, Beauty, my sweet Beauty.
Speaker B
Thank you for releasing me from a terrible curse.
Speaker B
A woman I refused to let stay overnight in the palace cursed me until I learned to love and to be loved in return.
Speaker B
But you have broken the curse with your true love.
Speaker B
Oh, I can't believe what is happening now.
Speaker B
Am I dreaming?
Speaker D
It's not a dream, you are my real prince, my true love.
Speaker A
And from that day on, the Prince and Belle lived in true happiness, teaching the world that real beauty lies within the heart, not in appearances.
