In her magic mirror, she saw her father very will and was desperate to get back home. A special ring that would help in going home and coming back safely was given to her, by the Beast. “Do come back within a week. Or I shall die,” the Beast said to Beauty. |
| Happy on seeing Beauty, her father recovered fast. The sisters wanted her to stay back to do the housework. Two weeks passed. One night Beauty had a dream that the Beast died. In tears, she hurriedly packed her things, kissed her father good-bye and was back at the castle with the help of the ring. |

Not finding the Beast in the house, Beauty went to the garden. She found him lying on the grass, nearly dead. On seeing Beauty, he got up and told her he had starved himself, as he could not live without her. |
| “You may be ugly, but you are kind and gentle. That is very important to me. You should not die. I love you and will marry you,” said Beauty. |
| A miracle followed. The Beast changed into a handsome Prince. Beauty could not believe her eyes. He kissed her and narrated how a wicked witch cast a spell over him, changing him into a Beast, until a beautiful young girl promised to marry him. |
 |
| The Prince married Beauty and there was great joy in the land. Beauty pardoned her sisters and invited her father to come and live with them. The sisters became kind and gentle like Beauty and all live happily for the rest of their lives. |
