This is the story of "Pooh's Adventures of Beauty and the Beast". You can read along with me in your book. You will know when it is time to turn the page when you hear this sound. (Harp playing) Let's begin now.
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. One winter's night, an old beggar woman arrive, offering him a single rose in return for shelter from the cold. Repulsed by her uglyness, he turned her away. Suddenly, she turned into a beautiful enchantress. To punish the prince, she turned him into a hideous beast, then she gave him a magic mirror and the enchanted rose, telling him it would bloom until his 21 year. To break the spell, he must love another and and earn that person's love in return, before the last petal fell.
