Snow day
One cold February day belle sat on the windowsill in her room in the dreary castle. Sad and homesick watching the snowflakes swirl outside. She had agreed to remain in the beast's enchanted castle in ex-change for her father's freedom, how she missed her little home and her dear father.
The beast tried to be kind to her but he was gruff and had such a terrible temper.
Suddenly she jumped the beast had appeared trudging through the snow beneath her window she thought she saw him glance quickly up at her, but she wasn't certain.
"What on earth is he doing!" she asked out loud.
She watched him scoop up an armload of snow and try to form it into a ball, but it fill apart spraying snow right in his face
Belle giggled to herself" why I think he is trying to build a snowman "she cried "but he has no idea how to begin ".
Next the beast made a smaller snow ball this one managed to hold together, and he began pushing it around the courtyard. It grew bigger & bigger. Soon, it was so big even the strong beast could hardly budge it.
Belle watched him struggle to push it, and then suddenly fall headlong over the top of it, his big feet kicking vainly in the air at this belle let out a peal of silvery laughter. It was the first time she had laughed since she had arrived in this dreary old castle.
A few of servants heard belle's laughter and ventured cautiously into the hallway outside her room. They too were under the enchantment and dearly wanted their master and this beautiful girl to fall in love as that the only way to break the spell.
"Do you suppose she is starting to like him?" MRS. Potts whispered to lumiere.
"I don't know" he whispered back "I hardly case, I must arrange for another romantic dinner for two this evening" he hurried in the direction of the kitchen, already thinking about flambé, and soufflé.
Belle watched the beast slowly climb to his feet. Scowling, he began to roll another snow ball. This time he slipped on some ice and fell flat on his back.
With another laugh of delight, belle leaped on her feet and threw her cloak she raced out of her room and hurried outside to join the beast in the snow.
She even showed the snowy beast how to make a snow angel.
The servants all ran to the window to watch the two new friends play in the snow together, Maybe, just maybe, something good was about to happen!
