🌹 Beauty and the Beast

Once upon a time, there lived a merchantmerchant /ˈmɜːtʃənt/ (n.): a person who buys and sells goods, especially in large amounts with his three daughters at the edge of a densedense /dens/ (adj.): thick; with many things close together forest. One day, as he was about to leave home for work in the town, he asked all three daughters if they wanted any presents on his return.

The eldesteldest /ˈeldɪst/ (adj.): the oldest of a group of people, especially children in a family daughter was excited and said, "Oh, yes! Will you bring me dresses made of silk?" The second daughter said, "Oh father, could you please bring me pearl earrings?" The merchant then asked his youngest daughter, Beauty who was the most beautiful and thoughtfulthoughtful /ˈθɔːtfl/ (adj.): caring about the needs and feelings of others of them all. She said, "You may just bring me some roses, father." The merchant was pleased by the simple demanddemand /dɪˈmɑːnd/ (n.): a strong request for something of Beauty.

On his way back through the dark and dense forest, he lost his way. He suddenly reached the gates of an old and ruinedruined /ˈruːɪnd/ (adj.): destroyed and broken down castle. As he passed through the gate inside, he saw a huge bush full of white roses. He happily decided to pluckpluck /plʌk/ (v.): to pull something, especially flowers, from where it is growing a few for his Beauty.

Just when he was about to pluck the first rose, he heard a roarroar /rɔːr/ (n./v.): a loud, deep sound, like the sound a lion makes behind him, "How dare you walk inside my castle without my permission?" The merchant was very scared when he saw a dangerous beast with the head of a lion, the body of a bear and the legs of a wild dog standing in front of him.

"I…I am…s-sorry…I saw these…roses and wanted to take for my Beauty," he said terrifiedterrified /ˈterɪfaɪd/ (adj.): very frightened. "You thief! I won't let you get away with this!" snarledsnarled /snɑːld/ (v.): said something in an angry, aggressive way the beast. The beast spoke after a while, "Go home. But send your daughter who wanted the roses. If you don't send your daughter by tomorrow evening, I will come to take you all."

Although Beauty's sisters told the merchant to send Beauty to the beast so that they would be safe, the loving father did not agree. However, Beauty decided to go to the beast to save her family. The following night, she left home without telling anyone.

As Beauty reached the castle of the beast, it warmly welcomed her and took her inside. She was given a proper room to live and well cooked food to eat. The beast treated her well as a friend. After living there for a few months, Beauty and the beast became best friends and lived together.

Beauty missed her father and sisters. So one night, she asked the beast to give her a day to go to meet her father and sisters. The beast agreed to let her go back for only a day. After she returned home, all became happy to see her back. Slowly, Beauty forgot that the beast was waiting for her in the castle.

One night, she had a dream that the beast was very sick and he was calling her name. Worriedworried /ˈwʌrid/ (adj.): feeling anxious and concerned about something that the beast was really sick and guiltyguilty /ˈɡɪlti/ (adj.): feeling guilt; feeling you have done something wrong that she had broken his trust, she ran back to the castle the next day. Reaching the castle, she found out that the beast was really ill. "Oh I am so sorry I left you alone," she said to him, with tears in her eyes.

After that, Beauty started crying and her tears fell upon the beast's face. Magicallymagically /ˈmædʒɪkli/ (adv.): in a way that seems to involve magic; by some mysterious power the beast turned into a handsome young man. "It's me. The beast!" the young man said. "I was a prince. I used to kill the wild animals a lot. So, the god had given me a punishmentpunishment /ˈpʌnɪʃmənt/ (n.): a penalty for doing something wrong and turned me into a beast. When I pleadedpleaded /ˈpliːdɪd/ (v.): made an urgent, emotional request the God to turn me back to a human, the God said that only a true friend's teardrops would help. Now, you helped me turn into a human."

Later they invited Beauty's father and sisters to live with them in the castle. They all came to live happily together forever.
