Once
upon
a
time
,
in
a
faraway
land
,
A
young
prince
____________________
in
a
shining
castle
.
Although
he
had
everything
his
heart
____________________
,
The
prince
was
spoiled
,
selfish
,
and
unkind
.
But
then
,
one
winter's
night
,
An
old
beggar
woman
came
to
the
castle
And
____________________
him
a
single
rose
In
return
for
shelter
from
the
bitter
cold
.
Repulsed
by
her
haggard
appearance
,
The
prince
____________________
at
the
gift
,
And
____________________
the
old
woman
away
.
But
she
____________________
him
not
to
be
deceived
by
appearances
,
For
beauty
is
found
within
.
And
when
he
____________________
her
again
,
The
old
woman's
ugliness
____________________
away
To
reveal
a
beautiful
enchantress
.
The
prince
____________________
to
apologize
,
but
it
was
too
late
,
For
she
had
seen
that
there
was
no
love
in
his
heart
.
And
as
punishment
,
She
____________________
him
into
a
hideous
beast
,
And
____________________
a
powerful
spell
on
the
castle
,
And
all
who
____________________
there
.
Ashamed
of
his
monstrous
form
,
The
beast
____________________
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
for
many
years
.
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
____________________
,
He
fell
into
despair
,
and
lost
all
hope
,
For
who
could
ever
learn
to
love
.
.
.
a
beast
?
