Hey, guys! So today we're going to talk about the AMAZING tale of Beauty and the Beast. I know I'm a little late because of the new Disney's Beauty and the Beast movie
came out a while ago, but it's worth it! Just remembering I'm using this books here, Contos de Fadas, from Editora Zahas as base from this "Reading Fairytales" series.
This tale was written by
I'VE TRAINED A LOT TO SAY IT RIGHT!! But let's call her Je. But here, in this edition says that Je's tale is
a lean version of another writer called
This one I didn't train, sorry. So today we're going to talk about Je's version, which is really good! I don't doubt that someone don't know the story
of Beauty and the Beast, because we've got movies, but even though I think it's worth, because there are some things that are differente from that we know.
So I'm going to make a Spoiler Alert here in the video, because then, if you don't want to listen to the end of the story, you can stop there, ok?
Because there are some people, from this "Reading Fairytales" series, that are asking me for a spoiler version of the videos, so I thought I could make a 2 in 1,
so, when I'll say some spoiler I'll warn you, who wants to continue, can go on and who doesn't, can stop, ok? But if you want to see my
final considerations about the tale, I'll leve here in the description box the minute I'll start my commentaries about the tale, they
won't have any spoilers, so you can watch without featr, ok? And now let's go to the tale, in this story we have a rich dealer, who has 3 sons and 3 daughters.
And the 3 daughters were very pretty. But the youngest were the most beautiful and since she little, people called here "Belle". And she was
called Belle forever. But, this thing of the people admire Belle more than the other 2 daughters, made them to become very, but
veeeery jealous. And beside being very jealous, they were arrogant and very BORING, too much. And they just wanted to hang out with rich
people, go to balls, only do rich people's things. While Belle were humble and spend her free time reading good books. Until some day,
unfortunatelly, the dealer lost all of his fortune and everyone had to move to the country and live a poor livre, so the boring sisters were already
sure that someone would marry them to take them off the poverty, but they were so arrogant that no men wanted to marry them. In the other
hand, everyone were sorry for Belle, because she was a very good lady and people said she didn't deserve to have a life like this. Even some nobleman
asked her hand in marriage, but she said no to all of them, saying she would be taking care of her father. In the beginning of the new life, of course Belle were
sad. But a nice thing she says is that it doesn't matter how loud she could cry, it wouldn't bring her fortune back and she would have to learn to live without money, and I thought it was very nice.
Then, after 1 year that the family was living in this conditions, the dealer received a letter saying that a ship with a little of his fortune was found, then everyone were super happy!
So, when the father was going out, the boring sisters came to ask him to buy with the new money some itens of toilette, wigs, perfumes, dresses
and so on! And Belle's dad asked her if she wanted something and in the end she asked for a Rose, because there were no Roses on the region they were living.
And one thing I thought it was interesting is that in this tale, it says that Belle didn't ask for the Rose because she WANTED to. She asked a Rose to make her sisters
don't talk about her, because she "didn't ask for anything. There goes the humble one..." Belle asked for the Rose like "Ah, don't bother me, it can be a Rose, then."
Because obviously, Belle already thought that with all that the sisters already ordered, the money would ran out, so that's why she asked for a Rose.
But when the dealer arrived to the ship to get his fortune, he found out he had some legal problems with the money and left poorer then he was.
Then, in the way back the weather went horrible and he saw at the end of the road, some little lights and found out a CASTLE. He entered in this
castle to look for shelter, because of the bad weather and he found a table full of food. He even waited until 11pm, to see if some servant would appear
but no one came and he couldn't hold anymore and ate everything he had right and went to a super confortable bed in one of the rooms. Then, when he
woke up in the morning, he saw that his clothes were changed, and he was so happy and thankful, thinking it was a Fairy's work, the owner of the casle, and that she was very kind-hearted.
Then he had a breakfast and when he was heading home, he saw a Bed of Roses in the garden of the castle, then he remembered Belle's request.
Then, he took a bunch of Roses and guess who showed up? That's right, the Beast! And like everyone knows, the Beast has this hideous appearance,
very ugly, but I found it so funny, because in this version of the tale, in the illustrations the Beast has a Boar's head. I don't know why they chose a Boar,
but I found that super hilarious [laughs]. Then, the Beast went mad with the dealer, saying "Come on, I gave you food, I gave you shelter and you come and steal my Roses?!"
Then the Beast said that only death was left for the dealer, but the dealer said "No, I was just taking for my daughter..." Then the Beast thought and gave the
dealer a condition. The Beast said that the dealer could survive if he gave one of his daughter to die in his place, otherwise the dealer
would have to come back within 3 days. Of course the dealer wouldn't take this offer, but he said "Okay, okay" just so he could go home and hug his family one last time.
But before leaving, the Beast told the dealer he could go back into the room he slep, grab a chest nad put every coins he wanted to put inside the chest.
Then, the dealer did it, put this coins inside the chest, but came back home sadder than never. And obviously, when he arrived at home, he
told to his family what's happened with the Beast, the condition and OF COURSE that the boring sisters would blame Belle, "Oh, it's your fault, because
of this Rose, look what's going to happen to our father!" But Belle were ready to take the blame and to go in her father's place. Everyone tried to say
'no', but... Everyone, I mean the brothers and her father, right...The sisters, not so much. But she was ready and nobody changed hermind. And then Belle went to
the Beast's castle, but when she get there the Beast treated her very, very well, like a QUEEN. And the Beast fell in love with the Beauty...
(MY COMMENTS ARE IN 07:57) Well, I'm stopping here the non-spoiler version, because a lot of nice things will happen! So, if you're going to watch just until here, I thank for your visiti and
leave a Thums up down below. (SPOILERS) And now, for those who stayed, I'm going to say a little of what happens in the end of the story, without telling details.
Because I'd really like if you guys read the story, because a lot of cool other things happen, and it's worth reading it. So,
basically, what's going to happen? In the mean time that Belle stays with the Beast, everyday in the dinner time, at 9pm, the Beast would show up, chat with
Belle and ask her to marry him, but she always refused, saying she saw him only as a friend. You guys see that the FRIENDZONE happens since...
A long time ago [laughs]. But one day, Belle's father got very sick and she saw him through a magic mirror tha he was sick, and she asked the Beast if she could
visit him. So, alright, he let belle go visit her father, but he said to her "If you don't come back in 8 days I'll dieeeeeee!" This Beast is so dramatic, guys,
it's so funny because he's so dramatic. "Oh, I'll die if you don't come back in 8 days, I can't like without you!" And Belle went home to visit her father and
just to be mean, her sisters made her, force her, invented something to make her stay for more 8 days. And Belle, in her humbleness, in her kindness, in her innocence, stayed for more 8 days and
when she came back to the Beast's castle, he was really, almost dead [laughs]. So Belle stared to analyse her feelings, seeing the Beast in that
sittuation and she realizes that she loved him, truly. It was not only Friendzone [laughs]. And everyone knows that in the end, the Beast turns into a Prince Charming
and we find out he was under a spell. And everyone were happily ever after, except her sisters, because they were cursed by the
Fairy who cursed the Beast, to live as statues in the castle's garden, to witness Belle's happiness. And they were just come back
to normal people if they'd take off the evil in they hearts. So guys, that's Beauty and the Beast tale, from Je [laughs] But I didn't tell all the details
that's why I think it's nice if you read the tale. Now I'm going to talk about what I thought about the tale. It's one of my favorites from this book here,
the story is so cool, the dialogues were very well done and the characters well developed, too. It's one of the longest tales from this book here
but nothing as 30 minutes of reading wouldn't solve it, very fast. We know that there are a lot of adaptations of the Beauty and the Beast tale, specially
from Disney, the most known. But in 2014, a french movie was made, which from all that I've watched, it's the most faithful to this tale, I think it's very nice and I recommend to all
of you to watch it, it's so beautiful! So, that's it, folks! I hope you guys enjoyed this video, and don't forget to give it a Thumbs up and to share with everyone.
If you want to buy this books here, I'm putting a like in the description that, if you buy through this like, you'll be helping the channel!
