The Beast wanted everything! It believed it could get anything it wanted. Just like people. Up to this point It hung out mostly with its own kind. And It was content this way. All of a sudden who should show up but the Beauty.. And Oh! what a beauty she was!
The Beast became fidgety and understandably upset. It started looking over its shoulder and nervously pacing the hard-wood floor, leaving long nail scratches on its smooth surface..
The Beast struggled to remember the human words It learned in the "Little Beasty" kindergarten. With the Beauty's arrival, the Beast got another chance to humanize its miserable life.
Once upon a time the Beauty presented the Beast with her angelic smile..no, maybe twice.. because she was kind and considerate. She even smiled at the river rocks, whenever she went. But the Beast didn't know it. The Beast on the other hand figured something totally different in its compact beastly brain. The revelation came to the Beast that the Beauty fell in love with It! absolutely and abundantly! and only beastly circumstances and ugly fate were standing in the way of their out-of-this world happiness..
The Beast's small dark eyes opened wide, it even became a little more bearable to look at, the butterflies flattering in his stomach.. (it had a very light lunch at the butterfly ranch earlier that day) For the first time in its long horrible life the Beast resembled the two-legged animal, for the first time It tried to pull its lips into something close to a human smile..
So, my dear friends, let's drink to the evolution wonders and ever-lasting love!
