Programme Outline
Beauty reached the Beast’s castle. Although she did not see the Beast, she realized
that someone was taking good care of her. Several times she asked to see the Beast but
he kept himself out of sight. By chance, Beauty caught sight of him in a mirror while she
was arranging some flowers. Beauty was so shocked by the Beast’s ugly appearance that
she screamed and ran away. Reluctantly, the Beast let her leave and return home.
After their separation, Beauty and the Beast missed each other very much. One
night, Beauty dreamt that the Beast was seriously ill. She woke up and returned to the
castle immediately. She found the Beast dying in the castle. In her sadness she kissed
him. At once the Beast woke up and was turned into a handsome prince. Since then,
Beauty and the handsome young prince lived in the castle happily ever after.
