Красавица и чудовище / Beauty and the Beast

Матвеев Сергей Александрович

So the fairy cast a spell, and everyone that lived in the castle—soldiers, ministers, guards, servants, ladies, pages, cooks, maids and knights—all fell into a deep sleep [82] .

“Now,” thought the fairy, “when the Princess wakes up, they too will awaken, and life will go on from there.” And she left the castle. Not a sound was heard in the castle, nothing moved except for the clocks, but when they too ran down, they stopped, and time stopped with them. Not even the faintest rustle was to be heard, only the wind whistling around, not a single voice, only the cry of birds.

The years sped past. [83] The trees around the castle grew tall. The bushes became thick; the grass invaded the courtyards, and the creepers spread up the walls. In a hundred years, a dense forest grew up.
