THE BAD BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

 Once upon a time in a poor village called Paradise City, a beautiful young woman named Beauty lived with her old father in a very small house. Her father was a bad hunter, he always came back from the woods with empty pockets. The life of the village was punctuated by the peasants who worked in the fields as well as the activity of its port and its market. One evening Beauty decided to take a walk near her village in the large wood of Weatchstellen. On the way home she came across a dagger which caught her attention, it was very beautiful with bright colors, Beauty took it thinking it was rare. Then she went home and fell asleep. The next morning, Beauty woke up but her old father was no longer in his bed, so she thought he had gone hunting in the woods. But after 10 hours of no news, she decided to go get him. Night fell very quickly and surprised Beauty. She could not see anything, when suddenly she heard wolves approaching her. Panicking, she ran as fast as possible in an unknown direction. She managed to leave the wolves behind and fell on a beach where there was a huge and beautiful castle. She went inside to take shelter. She saw inside an amazing thing: her father was eating at an enormous table filled with food, and was speaking with rather original living objects: a shovel, a cup and a bucket. She couldn't believe her eyes. Then she saw a handsome young man who was undoubtedly the master of the castle. Beauty joined them at the table and they chatted all evening. Upon awakening, Beauty saw better the wealth that there was in this castle. Beau fell in love with Beauty and asked her to stay at his side. She accepted then her father returned to his village. In this castle, she lacked nothing, Beauty was spoiled by beauty. But Beauty coveted more and more the riches of Beau as well as his magical castle. One day, blinded by it, she took the dagger she had kept and stabbed Beau in his sleep. Immediately, a spell was cast on Beauty, she saw her beautiful castle become a dusty and half-destroyed place. All the wealth she coveted was gone and her body suddenly transformed into a monster body, Beauty became The Beast. For her murder, she was condemned to live alone in the now terrifying castle.

THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE GIRL BEAST

In a small village named Paradise City a beautiful young woman named Beauty lived with her old father in a very small house and her father was starting to grow more and more sick. His father was a bad hunter; With the failure of hunting, the father of Beauty was poor and couldn’t even heal himself of the illness he had. He asked Beauty, « my daughter is going to sell some items from the house and bring back the money to have medicine » this latter was desperate to help her father. She took things but didn’t sell them for enough, so she got an idea. She went to the forest called Weatchstellen, this forest was very dark and not too visited by the people of the city. This forest was very dark and mysterious, which explained that no one dared to venture there. While walking she came across a flower of which, thanks to her knowledge in the matter, she knew was extremely rare. On leaving the forest a fairly old lady called her and she told her that if she didn't give the flower for her she would have problems. Beauty refused because she absolutely needed it, so this woman who was a witch cast a spell on her. She told her she had exchanged her body with that of a cursed young man that she had previously transformed in beast and who was on an island named Wotersbeach. The witch cast the spell on Beauty who transformed into a Beast. The witch gave her a clue to the boy's location with whom she had exchanged her body. The sentence was "Lost at the edge of the blue world or the sky and the only sight that changes every day, a change is waiting you". She took a boat and left the port far from her village with the conviction to find her body as soon as possible and returned to help her father. 

She went in search of a lost island and, after 3 weeks of research, she docked on Wotersbeach. it was a small island where there was a huge sand castle. She went to the beach where she looked next to the castle and saw her body in the distance sunbathing and talking with his cream and his parasol. She approached and called out to the man who was in her body. They talked to each other and decided to go back into the castle to chatter a bit more. After several days together talking about life and their problems, they made a very strong bond called love and after a soft kiss, a light appeared around them and restored them to their original appearance. In the end, they decided to return home as a couple and the man with whom Beauty had entered into a relationship turned out to be very rich and was able to take care of his father. They lived happy, the father was saved and Beauty and the man founded a family.
