He had three daughters. Two of them were really greedy and self centered girls

but the third one had a heart full of love and kindness

One day their dad received the news that his ships had sunk due to the storm

Poor man had lost everything and was left with only his little house in the village

The two greedy sisters were of course not pleased with this situation

All day long all they were doing was sitting around and complaining

All the housework was left to Beauty

After a while, their father heard that one of his lost ships had made it to the harbour

He started to prepare to go to the harbour right away

And before he left, he asked his daughters

“What should I bring you when I get back, girls?”

“Dress, shoes, necklace, and bracelets.”

“and what about you Beauty, what do you want?”

“Just a rose is fine daddy.”

Their father arrived at the harbour after a long journey

but neither his stuff on the boat was there nor was the ship usable

Sad and tired he started his journey back home

It was almost dark when he reached the forest

The forest was dark and cold and it was snowing

He rode his horse for hours and hours on the snow...

...and finally he saw a castle with the lights on

He entered hoping maybe they might help him

It was a weird castle

The lights were on everywhere

The dinner table was full of food and there was fire in the chimney

But there was no one to be seen...

He called out for someone but no one answered

Finally, not being able to wait anymore

He first ate some food from the table

and then he slept in one of the beds

When he woke up in the morning, he found some new clothes next to the bed

He went downstairs

A nice breakfast was waiting for him on the table

"This castle should belong to a fairy or she wouldn’t help me like this."

"I wish I could thank her."

When he was leaving the castle, he noticed the rose garden

I could not grant my other daughters’ wishes

At least I can make Beauty’s wish happen. He thought to himself...

Just as he picked a rose

He and his surroundings shook with a loud roar

An evil looking lion like beast appeared from behind the trees

The father almost fainted when he saw the beast

“I saved your life, I fed you, I gave you new clothes and here you are stealing my roses.”

“Is this how you thank me?!”

The man went on his knees and begged him

said that he wanted to take one of the roses to his daughter

“What you did will not go unpunished.”

“Please forgive me.”

“I will forgive you with only one condition.”

“Talk to your daughters."

“If one of them agrees to live here with me, I will grant your life.”

The man jumped on his horse and sadly head home

When at home

The two greedy sisters listened to the horrific story their dad went through

but did not even hear the Beast’s proposal

but Beauty did not behave like her sisters

“Daddy, if you allow me, I accept to go next to the Beast.”

The two sisters immediately accepted her proposal

because they thought that everything that happened was her fault

Sad and hopeless her father took Beauty and head to the castle

When they arrived

Everything was like before

The food was on the table and there was no one around

just as they sat down and started to eat...

The Beast came out

Beauty started to shake out of fear

Because, the Beast was as scary as her father had told her

Beast asked with a soft voice

“Did you come here with your own will?”

“Yes.”

“Then in the morning your father will go away."

"And never come back.”

When she woke up in the morning, Beauty knew that her father was gone

And she found a nice breakfast waiting for her on the table

She wandered around in the garden for a while

She felt sad when she looked at the roses

then she went around in the castle

One of the doors was full of roses

She wondered...

She opened the door

and peaked inside

The room was decorated just like she would have liked

And it was full of books, flowers and musical instruments

She thought that someone who can arrange a room like this would not hurt anybody

Then she took a book

On the book was written in gold letters

My dear queen, your wish is my command

“I wish, I could see my father now!”

As soon as Beauty said it, her father appeared in the mirror across the room

Beauty was so surprised

Seeing her father made her happy again

That night at dinner Beast appeared again

“Would you let me watch you Beauty?”

“You own the place, why would you ask me?”

“No, you own this castle now. If you want, I can leave immediately.”

Beauty was very surprised with his answer

“I wanna ask you something. Do you think I’m really ugly?"

At first she did not know what to say

Then she lifted her head to look at Beast and nodded as to say; "Yes."

“Well, would you marry me then?”

This time Beauty answered harshly

“No.”

Beast turned around sad and left Beauty alone

Beast was visiting Beauty every night at dinner and he treated her very kind

As days passed Beauty felt like she was getting used to Beast

”I wish he wasn’t that ugly.”

Couple months passed

Beauty was no longer scared of Beast

She even started to like him

But, one day she saw in the mirror that her father was ill

She raced next to Beast and asked him to let her go home

Cause, she wanted to take care of her sick father

“Of course, you can go.”

“But, If you don’t come back, I might die from sadness.”

“I will come after a week, I promise.”

Beast gave Beauty a ring

When she would put this ring on her nightstand and fall asleep

She would wake up back in the castle

The next morning she woke up in her own bed in her father’s house

She ran to her father at once

When her father saw her, he was so happy that he felt better

In the afternoon, Beauty’s sisters, who recently had gotten married, came to visit their father

When they found Beauty at home, they were furious with envy and anger

And they decided to play a little trick on her

“Lets make her stay here one more week. Then the Beast will come and kill her.”

The two sisters came next to Beauty, crying, and told her that they didn’t want to be apart

Beauty promised to stay one more week

Not long after, Beauty realised that she missed Beast

One day, she saw a dream where Beast was lifeless on the ground in the castle’s garden

She woke up in a sweat

“What I’m doing is cruel and selfish!”

So, she immediately took the ring off her finger

put it on the nightstand beside her

and she woke up in the Beast’s castle in the morning

She waited for the Beast all day long

But, he was nowhere to be seen

She waited for hours and hours

But, Beast did not come

Suddenly, she went running into the garden

Beast was lying down lifeless on the ground, just like she saw in her dream

Beauty ran next to him and hugged him

Beast’s heart was still beating

He rarely opened his eyes and spoke with difficulty

“I thought you weren’t coming back. I stopped eating and prepared to die.”

“But I love you and I want to marry you.”

At that instant, something magical happened

Suddenly the castle became brighter and more beautiful

Beauty looked around stunned and then she turned her head back to the Beast

But, where the ugly Beast was lying, now there was a young and handsome prince

When she saw him Beauty started to cry

“Who are you? And, where did the Beast go?”

Prince stood up… and started to tell…

“I am the Beast, an evil witch put a spell on me. She turned me into an ugly beast.”

“If you hadn’t said that you wanted to marry me, I would have had to live my life as a beast forever.”

When she heard this, Beauty was much happier

With her good heart she found true love

Beauty and The Prince got married and lived happily ever after…
