Beauty and the Beast

    A long time ago, there was a prince. He was good looking and very rich. He lived in a beautiful castle together with his staff and servants.

    Once, on a rainy dark night, a woman came to his castle. She was old and ugly. The prince didn't like her and sent her away. After he sent the woman away, she turned into a beautiful fairy. She cast a spell over the prince and his castle. The prince became a beast. He was no longer good looking. He looked very ugly instead and all his servants turned into furniture.

    One day, an old man named Maurice was traveling past the castle. It was raining so hard that he decided to enter the castle. When the Beast saw him, he captured him.

    After some time, Maurice's daughter, Belle, began to worry about him. She started to look for him. Finally, she arrived at the castle and she found her father there. She asked the Beast to let her father go, but he refused. Belle, then, agreed to stay in the castle so that her father could go home.

    While Belle was staying at the castle, the Beast slowly changed. He was not mean anymore. Belle began to like him and, in the end, they fell in love with each other. Right after she declared her love for him, the spell was broken. The Beast and his servants became humans again. Then, the Beast and Belle got married. They lived happily ever after.
