-Once upon a time in a faraway land….a young prince lived in a shining castle.
-Although he had everything his heart desired…the prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind.
-But then, one winter’s night….an old beggar woman came to the castle…and offered him a single rose…in return for shelter from the bitter cold.
-Repulsed by her haggard appearance…the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away.
-But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances…for beauty is found within.
-And when he dismissed her again, the old woman’s ugliness melted away…to reveal a beautiful enchantress.
-The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late…for she had seen that there was no love in his heart.
-And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast…and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.
-Ashamed of his monstrous form….the beast concealed himself inside his castle…with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.
-The rose she had offered…was truly an enchanted rose…which would bloom until his 21st year.
-If he could learn to love another…and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell…then the spell would be broken.
-If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.
-As the years passed…he fell into despair and lost all hope…for who could ever learn to love a beast?
