 Beauty and the Beast

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a prince who lived in a
magnificent castle. however., the prince was selfish and unkind and because of
this, an enchantress turned him into a fearsome beast. The beast was
transformed into a creature with a terrifying appearance, covered in fur and
having sharp fangs and claws. The prince was then given a magical rose and
told that he must find someone who could love him despite his appearance,
before the last petal fell.
In a nearby village, there lived a beautiful young woman named Belle.
She was known for her intelligence and love for books. Belle’s father,
Maurice, stumbled upon the Beast’s castle while on a journey and was
imprisoned by the Beast. When Belle found out about her father’s
predicament, she bravely offered to take his place.
 As Belle spent time in the castle, she discovered that the Beast, despite
his frightening exterior, was not as monstrous as she had initially thought. She
observed his kind heart and gentle nature. Day by day, Belle and the beast
started to develop a deep and meaningful connection.
Meanwhile, back in the village, a handsome and self-obsessed man
named Gaston had his eyes set on Belle. Gaston was admired by many in the
village due to his physical appearance, but he lacked the kindness and
empathy that Belle valued. Determined to win Belle’s affections, Gaston
hatched aa plan to kill the Beast.
In the final moments, when the Beast was on the brink of dying, Belle
professed her love for him. Her pure heart and genuine affection broke the
enchantress’ spell, transforming the Beast back into the handsome prince he
once was. And they lived happily ever after.
