The man said no.Then the old woman turned into a beautiful woman.She cursed the man and everything in his palace. The man turned into a Beast and the subjects turned into furniture with faces that can move.The woman gave the Beast a beautiful rose.She told the Beast that if he can find someone he loves before all the petals fall off than the curse would be broken. Belle and her dad (Maurice) are odd people in their village.Everyone in the village thinks that Gaston is the strongest and bravest man , even Gaston thinks that’s true.He asks Belle to marry him but he  refuses. Meanwhile Maurice gets lost in the woods on his way to a science convention.
