00:00Once upon a time as a merchant set off for market, he asked each of his three

00:09daughters what she would like as a present on his return. The first daughter

00:14wanted a brocade dress, the second a pearl necklace, but the third whose name

00:20was Beauty, the youngest and prettiest and sweetest of them all, said to her

00:24father, all I'd like is a rose you picked specially for me. When the

00:29merchant had finished his business, he set off for home. However, a sudden storm

00:34blew up and his horse could hardly make headway in the howling gale. Cold and

00:39weary, the merchant had lost all hope of reaching an inn when suddenly he noticed

00:44a bright light shining in the middle of a wood. As he drew near, he saw that it was

00:49a castle bathed in light. I hope I'll find shelter there for the night, he said to

00:54himself. When he reached the door, he saw it was open and though he shouted,

00:59nobody came to greet him. Plucking up courage, he went inside, still calling out to

01:05attract attention. On a table in the main hallway, a splendid dinner lay already

01:10served. The merchant lingered, still shouting for the owner of the castle, but

01:15no one came, and so the starving merchant sat down to a hearty meal. Overcome by

01:21curiosity, he ventured upstairs where the corridor led to magnificent rooms and

01:26halls. A fire crackled in the first room and a soft bed looked very inviting. It

01:33was now late and the merchant could not resist. He laid down on the bed and fell

01:37fast asleep. When he woke the next morning, an unknown hand placed a mug of

01:43steaming coffee and some fruit by his bedside. The merchant had breakfast and

01:48after tidying himself up, went downstairs to thank his generous host. But as on the

01:54evening before, there was nobody in sight. Shaking his head in wonder at the

01:59strangeness of it all, he went towards the garden where he had left his horse

02:03tethered to a tree. Suddenly, a large rose bush caught his eye. Remembering his

02:09promise to beauty, he bent down to pick a rose. Instantly, out of the rose garden

02:15sprang a horrible beast wearing splendid clothes. Two bloodshot eyes gleamed angrily

02:21and glared at him, and in a deep, terrifying voice, he growled.

02:26Un-grateful man! I gave you shelter, you ate at my table, and slept in my own bed. But

02:33now all the thanks I get is the theft of my favorite flower. I shall put you to death

02:39for this slight. Trembling with fear, the merchant fell on his knees before the beast.

02:45Forgive me. Forgive me. Don't kill me. I'll do anything you say. The rose wasn't for me.

02:51It was for my daughter, Beauty. I promised to bring her back a rose for my journey.

02:57The beast dropped the paw it had clamped on the unhappy merchant.

03:01I shall spare your life, but on one condition, that you bring me your daughter.

03:08The terror-stricken merchant, faced with certain death if he did not obey, promised that he would

03:14do so. When he reached home in tears, his three daughters ran to greet him. After he told them

03:20of his dreadful adventure, Beauty put his mind to rest immediately.

03:25Dear father, I'd do anything for you. Don't worry. You'll be able to keep your promise and save your

03:30life. Take me to the castle, and I'll stay there in your place. The merchant hugged his daughter.

03:36I never did doubt your love for me. For the moment, I can only thank you for saving my life.

03:42So Beauty was led to the castle. The beast, however, had quite an unexpected greeting for the girl.

03:48Instead of menacing doom as it had done with her father, it was surprisingly pleasant.

03:53In the beginning, Beauty was frightened of the beast and shuddered at the sight of it.

03:58Then she found that in spite of the monster's awful head, her horror of it was gradually fading as

04:03time went by. She had one of the finest rooms in the castle and sat for hours embroidering in front

04:10of the fire. And the beast would sit for hours on end, only a short distance away, silently gazing

04:15at her. Then it started to say a few kind words, till in the end, Beauty was amazed to discover that

04:22she was actually enjoying its conversation. The days passed, and Beauty and the beast became good

04:28friends. Then one day, the beast asked the girl to be his wife. Taken by surprise, Beauty did not know

04:36what to say. Marry such an ugly monster? She would rather die. But she did not want to hurt the

04:41feelings of one who, after all, had been kind to her. And she remembered, too, that she owed it her

04:47life as well as her father's. I really can't say yes, she began shakily. I'd so much like to.

04:55The beast interrupted her with an abrupt gesture. I quite understand, and I'm not offended by your

05:01refusal. Life went on as usual, and nothing further was said. One day, the beast presented Beauty with a

05:09magnificent magic mirror. When Beauty peeped into it, she could see her family far away. You won't feel

05:16so lonely now. Were the words that accompanied the gift, Beauty stared for hours at her distant family.

05:23Then she began to feel worried. One day, the beast found her weeping beside the magic mirror.

05:28What's wrong? He asked, kindly as always. My father is gravely ill and close to dying.

05:36Oh, how I wish I could see him again before it's too late. But the beast only shook its head.

05:42No, you will never leave this castle. And off it stalked in a rage. However, a little later,

05:49it returned and spoke solemnly to the girl. If you swear that you will return here in seven days' time,

05:57I'll let you go and visit your father. Beauty threw herself at the beast's feet in delight.

06:03I swear, I swear I will. How kind you are. You've made a loving daughter so happy.

06:09In reality, the merchant had fallen ill from a broken heart knowing that his daughter was being kept

06:15prisoner. When he embraced her again, he was soon on the road to recovery. Beauty stayed beside him for

06:21hours on end, describing her life in the castle, and explained that the beast was really good and kind.

06:27The days flashed past, and at last the merchant was able to leave his bed.

06:32He was completely well again. Beauty was happy at last. However, she failed to notice that seven days

06:39had gone by. Then one night, she awoke from a terrible nightmare. She had dreamt that the beast was dying

06:45and calling out for her, twisting in agony. Come back. Come back to me. It was pleading. The solemn

06:53promise she had made drove her to leave home immediately. Hurry, hurry, good horse, she said,

06:59whipping her steed onwards towards the castle, afraid that she might arrive too late. She rushed up the

07:05stairs, calling, but there was no reply. Her heart in her mouth, Beauty ran into the garden, and there

07:10crouched the beast, its eyes shot as though dead. Beauty threw herself at it and hugged it tightly.

07:17Don't die. Don't die. I'll marry you. At these words, a miracle took place. The beast's ugly snout

07:26turned magically into the face of a handsome young man. How I've been longing for this moment. I was

07:32suffering in silence and couldn't tell my frightful secret. An evil witch turned me into a monster, and

07:37only the love of a maiden willing to accept me as I was could transform me back into my real self.

07:43My dearest, I'll be so happy if you will marry me. The wedding took place shortly after, and from that

07:49day on, the young prince would have nothing but roses in his gardens. And that's why, to this day,

07:56the castle is known as the Castle of the Rose.

08:07well, that's why I'll be here for awhile. Usually from the castle, the barry's

08:13dead,

08:29uh,
