The story of Beauty and the Beast Once upon a time there was a rich man who had three sons and three daughters He had a lot of ships and the family lived in a big house by the sea All the daughters were very beautiful but the most beautiful was the youngest daughter and everyone called her ‘Beauty’ Beauty loved reading But her older sisters only liked fine clothes and parties They laughed at Beauty.
One day there was a terrible storm and all the man’s ships were lost at sea Suddenly he had no money He had to sell his big house and the family moved to a little house in the country.
‘You will have to work now,’ the man told his children ‘But we don’t know how to work, Father,’ said the two older sisters ‘And we can’t live here It’s too small.’
But Beauty worked hard for her father and her brothers Every day she got up early She did all the work in the house Her sisters did nothing One day the man had a letter He told his children, ‘I must go away on business One of my ships has come back from the East and we are rich again.’ The two older daughters asked their father to buy them new dresses Beauty only wanted a rose.
But, when the man found his ship, his friend said, ‘Your gold has gone, and your ship has holes in it.’ Then the man remembered his daughters He couldn’t buy fine dresses, but he bought two cheap little bags for them He wanted to buy a rose for Beauty but the flower girl didn’t have any.
On the way home, the man lost his way in a forest A strange wind blew and it began to snow He saw a light through the trees and went into a strange palace There he found dinner, a bed, fine clothes, and a good
breakfast But he saw nobody.
In the morning the sun shone He picked a rose from the garden for Beauty When he picked the rose, an angry Beast came and said that he must die The man said that he only wanted a rose for his daughter The Beast wanted one of the man’s daughters to come and live with him in his palace If not, the man must die.
So the man went home and told his family the terrible news Beauty said that her father would not die She would go and live with the Beast So she went to the palace with her father That night she had a dream A fairy told her that something good would happen to her.
Beauty lived with the Beast and he was kind to her He gave her presents of books and fine dresses Then one day Beauty looked in a magic mirror and saw that her father was ill and all alone She wanted to visit her father and asked the Beast if she could go back to him for just one week The Beast gave Beauty a magic ring and in the morning she woke up in her father’s house Her father was much better Her sisters came and asked her to stay a little bit longer.
After ten days, Beauty had a dream that the Beast was dying because he couldn’t live without her So Beauty put her ring by her bed and in the morning she was back at the palace When she found the Beast, she told him that she loved him and she would marry him Then the fairy came back and something magic happened The Beast was a handsome prince The fairy said that Beauty understood that kindness was more important than beauty Beauty and the Prince were married and lived happily ever after.

So the three bears went for a walk in the forest.
A little girl called Goldilocks lived near the bears’ house She saw the bears’ house and she wanted to go and see Then she did a bad thing She pushed open the door and went in She ate some of father bear’s porridge but it was very hot She ate some of mother bear’s porridge but
it was cold Then she ate some of baby bear’s porridge It was just right So she ate it all up.
She sat on father bear’s chair but it was very high She sat on mother bear’s chair but it was very low Then she sat on baby bear’s chair It was just right But then she broke the chair and fell on the floor.
After that, she went upstairs She got on father bear’s bed, but it was hard She got on mother bear’s bed but it was soft Then she got on baby bear’s bed and it was just right Goldilocks got into baby bear’s bed, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
The three bears came back from their walk in the forest They looked at their porridge bowls They looked at their chairs Then they went upstairs and found Goldilocks in baby bear’s bed They were not angry now They began to laugh.
Goldilocks opened her eyes and saw the three bears She was afraid So she got out of bed, ran out of the room, down the stairs, and out of the house.
Mother bear made some more porridge for breakfast Father bear made a new chair for baby bear.
Goldilocks never came back and the three bears never saw her again.
