Well, one day while traveling to an invention convention, Maurice, got lost in the woods. He found himself at the beast's castle and asked for shelter. But, the beast improsoned him. When Belle, Maurice's daughter, went out looking for him, she founded him at the castle, but the beast would not let the old man go, so Belle offered her handin imprisonment instead. When staying at the castle, Belle, met the beast's servants, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. potts, and many more.
