in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle.
Although he had everything his heart desired, the Prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind.

One winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold.

Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince turned the old woman away.
But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances for beauty is found within.

Her ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful Enchantress, and the rose she had offered was an enchanted rose which would bloom for many years.
