Beauty and The Beast

Best, the handsome merchant was due to marry his childhood sweetheart, Beauty. One day, on his way from work, he passed by an enchanted castle in the forest. 

He went inside and saw the beautiful flowers in the garden, "Beauty would love to have these flowers." "Who are you?!" The horrible voice of the Beast stopped him from behind. 

(Si Besto, ang gwapong mangangalakal ay nakatakdang mag pakasal sa kababatang si Kagandahan. Isang araw, pauwi na siya mula sa trabaho, napadaan siya sa isang engkantadong kastilyo sa kagubatan. 

Pumasok siya sa loob at nakita niya ang mga magagandang bulaklak sa hardin, "Maiibigan ni Kagandahan ang mga bulaklak na ito." "Sino ka?!" ang nakakatakot na boses ng halimaw ang pumigil sa kanya mula sa likuran."

"I would like to give these flowers to my bride," said Best. Very well, you have asked for your punishment," replied the Beast who was so mean. "Bring me your bride or i will ruin your wedding day!"

Beauty arrived in the castle and made the Beast regret hit punishment to Beast, but you will never win my heart!"

("Nais kong ibigay kong ibigay ang mga bulaklak na ito sa mapapangasawa k," ani Besto. "Kung ganun hinihingi mo na ang kaparusahan mo," sagot ng halimaw na lubhang malupit. "Dalhin mo dito ang mapapangasawa mo o mang gugulo ako sa araw ng kasal ninyo!"

Dumating si Kagandahan sa kastilyo ngunit tiniyak niya na pagsisisihan ni Halimaw ang parusang ipinataw nito kay Besto, "Nasunod na ang gusto mo, Halimaw, pero hindi mo mabibihag ang puso ko!"

Soon enough the Beast grew weary and said, "Go ahead, Beauty, leave me alone and go back to Best. Take this necklace as my gift for you on your upcoming wedding."

Beauty hurriedly left the castle. She and Best hugged each other when they meet again. "Now we can proceed with our wedding," Beauty said with a sigh of relief.

(Di nagtagal, nalungkot si Halimaw at nagwika: "Sige na Kagandahan, iwan mo na akong mag-isa at bumalik kana kay Besto. Tanggapin mo itong kuwintas bilang regalo ko sa nalalapit na mong pagpapakasal.

Dali-daling umalis si Kagandahan sa kastilyo. Nagyakap sila ni Best nang sila'y magkitang muli. "Ngayon pwede na nating ituloy ang ating pagpapakasal," sabi ni Kagandahan na nagluwag ang kalooban.)

The night before the wedding, Beauty woke up from a dream about Beast. The locket on her necklace was throbbing!

When she opened the locket, the image of the Beast appeared. He was very ill. She closed the locket and dismissed everything. When she slept again, she dream of the Beast once more.

(Isang gabi bago ang araw ng kasal, nagising si Kagandahan mula sa isang panaginip tungkol kay Halimaw. Ang kuwardapelo sa kanyang kuwintas ay tumitibok!

Nang buksan niya ang kuwardapelo, lumitaw ang anyo ni Halimaw. Malubha ito. Isinara niya ang kuwardapelo at binaliwala ang lahat. Nang makatulog siyang muli, napanaginipan niyang muli si halimaw.

Beauty was surprised when she was at Beast's bedside. He held her hand and confided in her, "I was cursed by the girl I promised to marry because I  stood her up on our wedding day."

"How can I help you, Beast? "Kiss me, Beauty. Your kiss will vanish the curse in me." "No, no, no...! Beauty protested.

(Nagulat si Kagandahan nang malaman niyang nasa tabi na siya ni Halimaw. Hinawakan nito ang kanyang kamay at nagtapat, "Isinumpa ako ng babaeng pinangakuan ko ng kasal dahil hindi ko siya sinipot sa araw nang aming kasal."

"Paano kita matutulungan Halimaw?" "Hagkan mo ako, Kagandahan. Ang halik mo lamang ang makakaalis ng sumpa sa akin." "Hindi, hindi, hindi...!"tumutol si kagandahan.)

She woke up once more, her mother was on her bedside, handling her a letter from Best. "He left this at the doorstep and didn't even bother to knock!"

Beauty went back to the castle and kissed the Beast. He suddenly turned into a handsome prince. "Thank you, Beauty. I will love you forever! Forget about Best!"

"I will." He called off our wedding. He loved someone else when I stayed by your side." They hugged tightly.

(Nang magising siyang muli, nasa tabi niya ang kanyang ina, iaabot sa kanya ang isang liham mula kay Besto. Iniwan niya ito sa may pintuan at di man lang kumatok!"

Bumalik si Kagandahan sa kastilyo at hinagkan niya si halimaw. Bigla itong naging makisig na Prinsipe. "Salamat, Kagandahan. Pinapangako kong iibigin kita magpakailan man! Kalimutan mo na si Besto! "Oo...hindi na niya ako pakakasalan. May minahal siyang iba noong narito ako sa tabi mo."Nagyapos sila ng mahigpit.)
