Visits Beauty and the Beast With love, Grandmother One sunny day Caroline Kay (Carly) Brown, age 7, was strolling through a park in
San
Antonio, Texas. Beautiful red roses were
blooming around her. The roses reminded
Carly of the story Heather and Hannah had once read
to her. The story was about a handsome
prince who was turned into an ugly Beast because he was so mean and selfish. While gazing at one rose, Carly instantly found herself inside a
mysterious castle courtyard. From a
distance, Carly could see Beauty pick a lovely rose blossom. Suddenly, a frightening voice roared loudly, “Beauty, I will
punish you for stealing that rose from my garden. You must now stay in my castle forever!” A huge Beast appeared and ordered Beauty to be locked in the
highest tower. It was an elegant room
filled with gowns and treasures fit for a queen. “I’m so sad,” wept Beauty.
“I will never see my family again!” Carly heard Beauty crying and in a snap was in the tower room next to
Beauty. Carly whispered, “Do
not cry, Beauty. I am your friend and
will help you find true happiness.” That evening, the Beast asked Beauty to join him for dinner. Carly told Beauty to accept the Beast’s kind
offer, and she did. At dinner Beauty
was so unhappy she said, “You are so ugly that I cannot eat.” Outraged by her ungratefulness, the Beast raised his giant claws
and stomped away in anger. Carly remembered that Heather and Hannah had told her to be kind to others. So Carly suggested to Beauty to make friends
with the Beast. Beauty agreed, saying, “I have an idea. I will join the Beast in the garden and read stories to him.” In time Beauty and the Beast became very good friends. One day the Beast allowed Beauty to see her
family through a magic mirror. Tears
came to the eyes of the homesick Beauty.
The Beast could not bear to see Beauty so unhappy and immediately sent
her home on a mighty stallion. Beauty
was very glad to be home again. One day Carly came to visit Beauty.
She brought the magic mirror and said, “Beauty, the Beast is dying and
only you can save him.” Beauty gasped when she saw the sick Beast and cried out, “I cannot
allow the Beast to die. I must go to
save him.” Beauty left her home and raced toward the castle on the mighty
stallion. All the forest animals
watched, hoping Beauty would arrive in time to save the Beast. Beauty entered the castle gates and found
the Beast lying limp and motionless in the garden. Beauty held the dying Beast in her arms. She touched her lips against his and whispered, “Please do not
die, my Beast. I love you.” Magically, the Beast faded away and a handsome prince appeared in
his place. Carly cheered,
“Hooray! Hooray! Beauty, you broke the magic spell.” The happy couple said, “Carly, thanks to you we have found true
happiness. Please stay with us
forever.” Carly replied, “I promise to visit you again, but I must return to my
home in San Antonio, Texas.” As Carly waved good-bye
she thought, “I can’t wait to tell Heather and Hannah about my
adventure with Beauty and the Beast.” The End © BestCaroline Kay Brown
