Narattor: |
| [00:19.08] |
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, |
| [00:29.14] |
A young Prince lived in a shining castle. |
| [00:32.47] |
Although he had everything his heart desired, |
| [00:36.62] |
The Prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. |
| [00:41.45] |
But then, one winter's night, |
| [00:45.29] |
An old beggar woman came to the castle |
| [00:47.68] |
And offered him a single Rose |
| [00:49.67] |
In return for shelter from the bitter cold. |
| [00:54.37] |
Repulsed by her haggard appearance, |
| [01:00.40] |
The Prince sneered at the gift, |
| [01:03.00] |
And turned the old woman away. |
| [01:04.64] |
But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, |
| [01:08.36] |
For Beauty is found within. |
| [01:11.94] |
And when he dismissed her again, |
| [01:14.29] |
The old woman's ugliness melted away |
| [01:16.68] |
To reveal a beautiful Enchantress. |
| [01:24.47] |
The Prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, |
| [01:27.70] |
For she had seen that there was no love in his heart. |
| [01:33.28] |
And as punishment, |
| [01:36.07] |
She transformed him into a hideous beast, |
| [01:40.76] |
And placed a powerful spell on the castle, |
| [01:43.70] |
And all who lived there. |
| [01:46.70] |
Ashamed of his monstrous form, |
| [01:52.53] |
The beast concealed himself inside his castle, |
| [01:55.67] |
With a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. |
| [02:00.21] |
The Rose she had offered, |
| [02:03.60] |
Was truly an enchanted rose, |
| [02:05.99] |
Which would bloom for many years. |
| [02:08.59] |
If he could learn to love another, |
| [02:12.53] |
And earn her love in return |
| [02:14.47] |
By the time the last petal fell, |
| [02:16.92] |
Then the spell would be broken. |
| [02:19.56] |
If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast |
| [02:24.04] |
For all time. |
| [02:26.34] |
As the years passed, |
| [02:28.39] |
He fell into despair, and lost all hope, |
| [02:32.71] |
For who could ever learn to love...a Beast? |
