Happy Birthday! Eri!!

One sunny day Eri Satou, age 5, was strolling through a park in Oita City.
Beautiful red roses were
blooming all around her.
The roses
reminded Eri-chan of the story Taka and Mayumi . 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, Eri-chan
instantly found herself inside a mysterious
castle courtyard.
From a distance,
Eri-chan could see Beauty pick a lovely rose
blossom.
Suddenly, a frightening voice roared
loudly, "Beauty, l 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!"
Eri-chan heard Beauty crying and in a
snap was in the tower room next to Beauty.
Eri-chan 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.
Eri-chan 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 l cannot eat."
Outraged by her ungratefulness, the
Beast raised his giant claws and stomped
away in anger. |
|
|
|
Eri-chan remembered that Taka and Mayumi had told her to be kind to others.
So Eri-chan suggested to Beauty to make
friends with the Beast.
Beauty agreed, saying, "l 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 Eri-chan 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.
Eri-chan cheered, "Hooray! Hooray!
Beauty, you broke the magic spell." |
|
|
The happy couple said, " Eri-chan,
thanks to you we have found true
happiness. Please stay with us forever."
Eri-chan replied, "I promise to visit
you again, but l must return to my home
in Oita City."
As Eri-chan waved good-bye she it
thought, "I can't wait to tell Taka and Mayumi
about my adventure with Beauty
and the Beast."
