Once upon a time in a country in the midddle of France, there lived a mother and her only daughter named Belle. Belle was the most beautiful woman in that country. Her beauty is not only phisically. Her heart was also really kind and pure. She and her mother working hard together for living. Everyday, they would manage their little farm and barn.
One day, Belle’s mother went to the beach to trade their earnings. Before she started her journey, she asked Belle what gift Belle wanted when she comes back. Belle only asked for a rose.
Unfortunately in the middle of the journey, Belle’s mother met a robber and almost all of her things were stolen. And when she walked along the forest, she was trapped in a storm. Then, she saw a castle with lights from top until the bottom. Trying to save her life, she went into the castle. It was very surprising for her to not find anyone in the castle although the dining table was full of luxurious dish. Then, she decided to eat and take a rest there until the storm ends. Morning comes and the storm has gone. Belle’s mother decided to head back home. When she crossed the garden, she saw bushes of rose near the castle’s fence. Then, she remembered that her daughter want a rose as a gift. Belle’s mother picked one of the beautiful rose.
Unexpectedly….
Beast : Mortals! What an ungrateful soul you are! I gave you food and drinks! I even let you sleep in my chamber! And now you wanna steal my precious rose?! So you are a thief after all?!
Belle’s mother : N-no, no, Sir! I didn’t meant that! I-I just wanna give this rose to my daughter! I promised her to bring a rose back to her! Please forgive me! Don’t kill me! I’ll do anything, I’m begging you!
Beast : Fine. I’ll spare your life. But only in one condition: Bring your daughter to me!
So, Belle’s mother ran home and told her daughter. Pure hearted-Belle agreed to that term. She wanted to save her mother. Then, Belle began to live in the castle. First, she was really afraid of the Beast. But slowly, she realize that Beast is not a bad person. He never treat her bad. She loves times they spend together. She enjoys chatting with him. Slowly but sure, seeds of love began to grow in her heart. One bright morning, Belle and Beast had their morning tea in the garden.
Beast : Um…belle, I have something to ask to you. Do you mind?
Belle : Not really. What is it?
Beast : Belle, do you love me?
Belle : Eh?! Erm…I-I really can’t say I do…But I..
Beast : (turned around angrily) It’s fine if you don’t!
(Suddenly, Beast fell onto the ground, unconscious. Belle ran to him and sit beside him.)
Fairy : Oh dear. Please tell me it’s just a dream…
Belle : Who are you? What is happened to him?
Fairy : My child, there is one thing you need to know. This man was a handsome prince who lived in this castle. But few years ago, an evil witch changes everything. He turned into an ugly beast and all other member of this castle were vanished. There’s only one thing that can break the curse. And if the curse can’t be broken today, he will die…
Belle : WHAT?! And how we break the curse?
Fairy :There’s only one thing that can break the curse. A pure love of a maiden who willing to accept him as the way he is…
Belle : Wake up, please! Wake up! Don’t die! I love you!
And suddenly, miracle happened. Beast’s ugly face turned into a face of handsome young man. After that, Belle and Prince become lovers. They invited Belle’s mother to live together with them in the castle. And finally, the three of them lived happily ever after.
