Listen. 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.
Once a day there was a terrible storm and all the man’s ships were lost at sea. And the man had no money.
Scene 1
Father: Girls! Girls! Come up to me.
Charlotte: Here we are, Father.
Father: My sweethearts, we have no money. I had lost all my ships!!!
Charlotte, Maria
And Beauty: My God!!! We have no money!!!
Father: Now, my dear daughters, you will have to work. We’ll have to sell our house.
Charlotte: How, Father?
Maria: We don’t know how to work.
Beauty: Don’t worry, sisters. I’ll clean the house, Father.
Father: Thank you, Beauty.
Gr: And 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 got a letter.
Scene 2
Father: Come here my daughters.
Daughters: Yes, Father.
Father: I’ve got a letter. I have to go away on business. One of my ships has come back. We are rich again. We have gold and silver.
Daughters: Hoorey!!! We are very glad to hear such a good news!
Charlotte: Please, buy me a new dress, Father.
Maria: Yes, a new dress for me too.
Father: What do you want, Beauty?
Beauty: I would like a rose.
Father: I’ll bring you a rose, Beauty.
Daughters: Goodbye, Father.
Father: Goodbye, girls.
Gr: (reading) Everybody thought they were rich again, because one ship came back from the East. But, when the man found that ship, his friend said, that all gold and silver have gone because the ship had holes in it. He couldn’t buy fine dresses. 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 the 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. But he saw nobody there. In the morning the sun shone and the man saw many beautiful roses in the garden.
Scene 3
Father: Oh, roses! I’ll pick a rose for Beauty!
Beast: Don’t pick the roses! You must die for this!
Father: I just wanted a rose for my daughter!
Beast: You have a nice daughter. She is very kind and pretty. Here is some gold. Let your Beauty come to my palace!
Father: Oh, no! Don’t take Beauty!
Beast: Bring me Beauty or you will die. I want to live with her.
Girl: Did he really want to live with Beauty? He is so terrible!! He is the Beast!
Boy: What did Father decide to do?
Gr-m: 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.
Scene 4
Father: Here we are! This is the palace.
Beast: What’s your name?
Father: Her name is Beauty. Be good to her, please.
Beast: You must go in the morning.
Father: Good night, Beauty. Don’t be afraid!
Beauty: Good night, Father. I love you!
Gr-m: Beauty lived with the Beast and he was kind to her. He gave her presents of books and fine dresses. But one day the Beast came up to Beauty and said…
Scene 5
Beast: Beauty, this is a present for you.
Beauty: What is this?
Beast: This is a magic mirror. Look into it when you want to see your father’s face.
Beauty: Beast, I must go home.
Beast: Why?
Beauty: My father is ill and all alone. Please, may I go home and visit him?
Beast: I love you. Please, don’t go.
Beauty: Please let me go for just one week.
Beast: If you go, you will not come back.
Beauty: I will come back. I cannot marry you but I will be your friend.
Beast: Please come back. I will wait for you.
Gr-m: 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.
Boy: And what did she do?
Gr-m: After ten days Beauty had a dream that the Beast was dying because he couldn’t live without her.
Girl: Did Beauty love him, Granny?
Gr-m: Yes, she did. Beauty put her ring and in the morning she was back at the palace.
Scene 6
Beauty: Beast, what is it? Speak to me!
Beast: I am dying. I waited for you but you did not come.
Beauty: No, please, don’t die! I love you! Please, live. I will marry you. Oh! You are handsome!
Beast: Yes, a bad fairy put a spell on me. She said that no one could love an ugly Beast. But you have broken that spell. I love you so much!
Beauty: I love you too.

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY Once there was a king and a queen. Their little daughter was going to be christened. The queen chose twelve fairy godmothers for the child. They promised her health, wealth and beauty. But the king and the queen forgot to invite one bad fairy. She said that the princess would prick her finger and fall asleep for a hundred years. The king and queen immediately banned all sharp needles from the kingdom. But somehow one was missed, and when the princess reached her 18-th birthday, she found it and pricked her finger. She fell asleep at once, and the entire palace with her. Time passed, and tales of the sleeping princess were told to princess in other lands. Many searched for the palace, but it had become so overgrown with trees and thorn bushes that none of them succeded. Then, just one hundred years after the princess had fallen asleep, a handsome young prince stumbled across the forest. He hacked his way through the trees and thorns until he reached the cobweb-covered palace and all its sleeping inhabitants. He entered and soon found the princess, asleep on her bed. He thought she was beautiful and kissed her. She awoke and fell in love with the prince straight away. Then everyone woke up. The prince and princess were married, and they all lived happily ever after. |
