Beauty and the Beast – Let’s Read

Once, in a faraway village nestled near the edge of a thick, enchanted forest, there lived a girl named Beauty.

She was known for her gentle nature and her extraordinary ability to see goodness in others.

While her two elder sisters spent their days obsessing over luxuries, Beauty found joy in simple things—books, flowers, and the natural beauty around her.

Beauty’s father was a merchant who often traveled to distant lands to trade.

Life was comfortable until one unfortunate day when a storm at sea destroyed his ships and left the family with nothing.

The once-prosperous merchant was forced to move with his daughters to a small cottage on the outskirts of the village.

Beauty adapted to the modest lifestyle gracefully, but her sisters complained endlessly.

One day, the merchant received news that one of his lost ships had been recovered.

He set off to reclaim what little wealth remained. Before leaving, he asked his daughters if they wanted any gifts.

The elder sisters demanded jewels and fine dresses, but Beauty, always thoughtful, asked for nothing more than a single red rose.

The merchant’s journey was long and arduous.

When he finally reached the city, he discovered the recovered goods were not enough to restore his fortune.

On his way home, a snowstorm forced him to seek refuge in a mysterious castle deep in the forest.

The castle appeared empty, but the doors opened as though inviting him in. Inside, a roaring fire warmed the grand hall, and a feast was laid out as if prepared for a king.

Grateful, the merchant ate and rested.

The next morning, as he wandered the castle grounds, he remembered Beauty’s request and spotted a rosebush in full bloom.

He plucked a single rose, only to be met by a terrifying roar. A monstrous figure emerged from the shadows—a Beast, with a voice that shook the earth.

The Beast accused him of theft and declared that the penalty was death. Desperate to save his life, the merchant begged for mercy, explaining the rose was for his daughter.

The Beast agreed to spare him on one condition: the merchant must send one of his daughters to live in the castle in his place.

Heartbroken, the merchant returned home and told his family of the Beast’s demand. Beauty, though frightened, chose to sacrifice herself for her father.

Quote of the Day

True beauty is not seen with the eyes but felt with the heart that dares to see beyond the surface.

She reassured him and her sisters, saying she would fulfill the promise.

When Beauty arrived at the castle, she was surprised to find it both magnificent and eerie.

The Beast, though gruff and intimidating, treated her with care.

Over time, she noticed his kindness—how he ensured her comfort, provided her with delicious meals, and even allowed her access to a vast library.

Though he asked her each evening to marry him, Beauty always declined, as she could not yet overcome her fear.

Days turned into weeks, and Beauty’s fear faded. She began to see the Beast’s true nature—his wit, his generosity, and the sadness hidden in his eyes.

Their conversations grew longer, and her heart softened.

One day, Beauty longed to visit her father. The Beast agreed to let her go but made her promise to return within seven days.

He gave her an enchanted mirror to see the castle whenever she wished and a magical ring that would bring her back.

At home, her family was astonished by her stories and the gifts the Beast had sent with her.

However, her sisters grew jealous of the love she spoke of and convinced her to stay longer, hoping the Beast would grow angry and abandon her.

On the eighth day, Beauty looked into the mirror and saw the Beast lying in the garden, weak and dying.

Realizing her love for him, she used the ring to return instantly.

She found him barely conscious, and through tears, she confessed her feelings and agreed to marry him.

As her words left her lips, the ground trembled, and a dazzling light surrounded the Beast. Before her eyes, he transformed into a handsome prince.

The castle brightened, the halls filled with music, and the enchantment was lifted.

The prince explained that a curse had turned him into a Beast, and only true love could break it. Beauty’s courage, kindness, and love had saved him.

They were married in a grand celebration, and Beauty’s family attended, humbled by her grace.

The prince and Beauty ruled the kingdom with wisdom and compassion, and they lived happily ever after, proving that true love sees beyond appearances.

The end.
