Lesson 4: The Beauty and the Beast
Unit II
Part 1: Text & Translation
English: The beast gave her lavish clothing and food and carried on lengthy conversations with her. Each night, the Beast asked Belle to marry him, only to be refused every time. After each refusal, Belle dreamt of a handsome prince who pleaded with her to explain why she kept on refusing the beast. She replied each time that she could not marry the Beast because she loved him only as a friend. But Belle could not make the connection between the handsome prince and the Beast. She was convinced that the Beast was holding the prince captive somewhere in the castle. She searched for him and discovered many enchanted rooms, but never the prince of her dreams.

English: For several months, Belle lived a life of luxury at the Beast’s palace, being waited on hand and foot by invisible servants, having no end of riches to amuse her and an endless supply of fine clothes to wear. Eventually she became homesick and begged the Beast to allow her to go to see her family. He said he would allow it, only if she would return exactly a week later. Belle agreed to this and set off for home with an enchanted mirror and ring. The mirror would allow her to see what was going on back at the Beast’s castle, and the ring would allow her to return to the castle in an instant when turned three times around her finger. Her elder sisters were surprised to find her well fed and dressed in grand clothes. They grew jealous of her happy life at the castle. Upon hearing that she must return to the Beast on a certain day, they begged her to stay just for one more day. They even put onion in their eyes to make it appear as though they were weeping.

English: They secretly hoped that the Beast would grow angry with Belle for breaking her promise and would eat her alive! Belle’s heart was moved by her sisters’ false show of love, and she agreed to stay. Belle began to feel guilty about breaking her promise to the Beast and used the mirror to see what he was doing back at the castle. She was horrified to discover that the Beast lay half-dead out of heartbreak. He lay near those very rose bushes her father had stolen the rose from. She immediately used the ring to return to the Beast. Upon returning, Belle found the Beast almost dead. She wept over him, saying that she loved him. As soon as her tears touched him, the Beast was transformed into a handsome prince! The Prince informed Belle that long ago a fairy turned him into a hideous beast after he refused to let her in from the rain, and that only by finding true love despite his ugliness, could the curse be broken. Then the prince and Belle got married and they lived happily ever after.

The Merchant and the Robber
One day, a merchant was going home through a deep forest. He had a bag full of money with him. Suddenly, heavy rain fell and he got completely wet. He became angry and cursed the rain for his discomfort. Just then, a robber came out from the bushes. He pointed his gun at the merchant and shot him. But the gun did not fire because the gunpowder had become wet in the rain. The merchant escaped unhurt. He then thanked God for the rain that saved his life.

A Visit to a Flower Garden
Last Sunday, I visited the famous Botanical Garden in Shibpur with my parents. As soon as I entered, I was mesmerized by the vibrant colours and sweet fragrance. I saw various types of flowers like roses, marigolds, sunflowers, and dahlias blooming beautifully. Butterflies and bees were hovering over them. The peaceful environment had a very soothing effect on my mind. The beautiful memory of this colourful garden will always linger in my mind.
