Beauty and the Beast

–

3 people(

美女与野兽）

Once

upon

a

time

there

lived

a

wealthy

merchant

and

his

three

daughters.

One

day,

the

father

was

to

go

to

a

far-off

place

and

he

asked

his

daughters

what

they

wanted

on

his

return.

The

first

and

the

second

daughter asked for lovely dresses. But the third daughter, whose name

was Beauty, said, “Father, I only need a rose plucked by your hand.” The

merchant, on his way back, had to cross through the deep forest. It was

dark and the merchant tried to find a place to sleep. He suddenly found a

huge castle and went inside to find nobody. There was

a huge table

with

delicious food and

he

ate

it

all.

Then

the

merchant

went

into

the

bedroom

and

slept

on

a

soft

and

fluffy

bed.

The

next

day,

too,

the

merchant did not find anyone in the castle. He saw a beautiful rose bush

growing in the lawn and remembered Beauty’s gift. He plucked a red

rose from the bush.

Suddenly,

a

ferocious

looking

beast

sprang

out

of

the

bush.

He

was

wearing fine silk clothes and roared, “I gave you fo

od and a bed to sleep

in! And now, you are stealing my roses!” The merchant was frightened

and told the Beast about Beauty’s gift. The Beast decided to let him go

only if he promised to send Beauty to this castle. The merchant agreed

and ran back home. He cried and told his daughters about the Beast. But

Beauty loved her father a lot and agreed to go stay with the Beast.
