00:01:30,093 --> 00:01:32,810
Our tale has its primary protagonists.

14
00:01:32,853 --> 00:01:36,060
Their names are: Mind and Beauty.

15
00:01:36,790 --> 00:01:39,985
To amuse you,
let's have all the other roles...

16
00:01:40,105 --> 00:01:43,560
...performed by two jesters.

17
00:01:46,933 --> 00:01:49,493
The Queen gave birth to a son!

18
00:01:49,528 --> 00:01:52,817
(echo)...gave birth to a son, son, son, son...

19
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:18,256
There once was a queen
who gave birth to a son,
(echo) son, son, son, son...

20
00:02:27,186 --> 00:02:30,060
He was so ugly and misshapen

21
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,510
that for a long time they wondered...

22
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:35,383
(echo) was he even human?
...was he even human?

23
00:02:35,503 --> 00:02:38,127
was he even human?
was he even human?

24
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,500
- And yet, the child will be lovable.

25
00:02:56,717 --> 00:02:58,908
- Because he will be very clever.

26
00:02:59,028 --> 00:03:02,102
(echo) very clever, clever, clever, clever...

27
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,026
- On the same day,
in one of the neighboring countries,

28
00:03:07,026 --> 00:03:11,430
a baby girl was born.
A heavenly beauty!

29
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:15,948
(echo) beauty, beauty, beauty, beauty...

30
00:03:29,180 --> 00:03:33,005
- Oh! Truth is, over the years
she became...

31
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:35,006
stupider and stupider.

32
00:03:35,053 --> 00:03:38,510
Also, she was so clumsy,

33
00:03:38,796 --> 00:03:42,094
that she could not rearrange
any items upon the mantelpiece

34
00:03:42,364 --> 00:03:45,428
without breaking one of them,

35
00:03:45,615 --> 00:03:49,244
nor drink a glass of water
without spilling half of it

36
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,770
upon her dress.
- Oh! Phooey!

37
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,850
Yes... as the years went on,
she became ever stupider...

38
00:05:16,133 --> 00:05:20,630
And if she was asked something,
she either gave no answer at all

39
00:05:20,693 --> 00:05:23,613
- or she said something very idiotic.
- Y-yes!

40
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,874
Why do the stars shine in the sky?

41
00:05:37,518 --> 00:05:39,510
I do not know.

42
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,657
Why are there pines in a dense pine forest?

43
00:05:44,154 --> 00:05:46,138
I do not know.

44
00:05:46,742 --> 00:05:49,488
Where do the days and nights go?

45
00:05:49,786 --> 00:05:51,573
I do not know.

46
00:05:52,044 --> 00:05:54,791
Why are my eyes full of tears?

47
00:05:55,601 --> 00:05:57,442
I do not know.

48
00:05:58,026 --> 00:06:00,200
The sky at night...

49
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,470
is a purse tightly packed with stars,

50
00:06:04,167 --> 00:06:08,883
The stars shine upon us!
We are made for each other.

51
00:06:09,866 --> 00:06:14,260
Where do night and day hasten after?...
Why ask them?

52
00:06:14,906 --> 00:06:19,146
They are hastening to meet us,
they want to become ours.

53
00:06:26,123 --> 00:06:30,986
Everyone lives by the rules of etiquette,
structured, well-conducted lives, 

54
00:06:31,346 --> 00:06:34,840
They do things how they are done,
how they should be!

55
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,480
I do not know how to tread,
how to deliver conversation

56
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:45,740
It's prompted to me
... but I forget again within the hour.

57
00:06:49,533 --> 00:06:52,290
- Defend yourselves, sir!

58
00:07:07,121 --> 00:07:08,361
- Ah!

59
00:07:09,174 --> 00:07:11,189
- I am at your service.

60
00:07:17,466 --> 00:07:18,681
- Ah!

61
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,626
How people live in the world,
I do not know.

62
00:07:35,266 --> 00:07:38,740
You live as a star
shines in the night.

63
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,064
As a pine in a dense pinewood,
as a blade of grass,

64
00:07:43,532 --> 00:07:47,435
as my soul's other half.

65
00:07:48,386 --> 00:07:52,780
- I often dream this stupid dream

66
00:07:53,426 --> 00:07:56,477
One heatbeat it lasts.

67
00:07:56,973 --> 00:08:02,270
There's a green mountain
with tall grass

68
00:08:02,818 --> 00:08:07,702
I have fun in the grass,
that's just slightly higher then my head.

69
00:08:08,482 --> 00:08:12,456
And I scream, "Ahoy ahoy..."

70
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,670
And that grass smells so sweetly...

71
00:08:18,146 --> 00:08:19,386
...but how...?

72
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,440
I cannot find the words.

73
00:08:23,614 --> 00:08:25,227
...but how...?

74
00:08:25,653 --> 00:08:28,500
I cannot find the words.

75
00:08:29,213 --> 00:08:30,660
... but how...?

76
00:08:32,055 --> 00:08:33,488
I do not know...

77
00:08:33,893 --> 00:08:35,410
I'm stupid...

78
00:08:52,293 --> 00:08:56,080
Tears sparkle in your eyes,
joy they promise you.

79
00:08:56,403 --> 00:09:00,769
Pines rustle in the woods,
As wife I will take you.

80
00:09:01,067 --> 00:09:04,143
Not for an hour, for a lifetime,

81
00:09:04,333 --> 00:09:06,630
'till death do us part.

82
00:09:57,704 --> 00:09:59,986
Prince Ricky...

83
00:10:00,780 --> 00:10:04,372
Proposed to the princess.

84
00:10:06,476 --> 00:10:10,245
The wedding was postponed for a year.

85
00:10:12,074 --> 00:10:14,679
The princess was dismayed...

86
00:10:14,866 --> 00:10:17,333
by the Ugliness of the Prince.

87
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,333
This is a brilliant proof
of women's stupidity.

88
00:10:22,426 --> 00:10:27,633
- Women's stupidity,
stupidity, stupidity, stupidity...

89
00:10:41,762 --> 00:10:44,977
- Chapter Two.

90
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,010
The prophecy!

91
00:10:50,314 --> 00:10:54,024
You would know
what godmother Adele had wished

92
00:10:54,066 --> 00:10:57,180
for the fates to endow the Prince with.

93
00:10:57,402 --> 00:11:02,108
Well, I can easily tell you
that he will everywhere become

94
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,465
known for his insightful, brilliant mind.

95
00:11:07,770 --> 00:11:11,611
Genial, ideal.
But ...!

96
00:11:11,871 --> 00:11:15,812
The Prince will be ugly and hunchbacked.

97
00:11:15,986 --> 00:11:21,090
I will tell you the plain truth:
(Truly-la-la! Truly-la-la!)

98
00:11:21,298 --> 00:11:26,174
Someone's destiny can not be repaired!
(Truly-la-la! Truly-la-la!)

99
00:11:26,691 --> 00:11:29,914
However... I love Prince Ricky

100
00:11:30,034 --> 00:11:32,917
So I'll bestow upon him a magical gift.

101
00:11:33,107 --> 00:11:35,600
that will be useful to him.

102
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,439
Prince will manage to bestow good sense...

103
00:11:39,928 --> 00:11:43,572
Prince will manage to bestow good sense...

104
00:11:44,034 --> 00:11:47,082
To the one he loves most!

105
00:11:49,478 --> 00:11:52,856
You would know
what godmother Adele had wished

106
00:11:53,097 --> 00:11:55,942
for the fates to endow the Princess with.

107
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,400
Well, I can easily tell you

108
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,840
that the princess will be lovely,

109
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,186
charming, delightful,

110
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,569
beautiful, marvelous...

111
00:12:09,689 --> 00:12:12,304
But! Not clever.

112
00:12:12,549 --> 00:12:14,630
Alas! Not clever.

113
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:18,721
I will tell you the plain truth:
(Truly-la-la! Truly-la-la!)

114
00:12:18,841 --> 00:12:23,260
Someone's destiny can not be repaired!
(Truly-la-la! Truly-la-la!)

115
00:12:23,620 --> 00:12:26,536
Yet... I'll do something good for the princess.

116
00:12:26,764 --> 00:12:29,647
I'll bestow upon her a magical gift.

117
00:12:29,767 --> 00:12:31,730
It will be useful to her.

118
00:12:31,786 --> 00:12:35,386
She will be able to bestow beauty...

119
00:12:35,408 --> 00:12:38,641
She will be able to bestow beauty...

120
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,530
Upon the one person who is dear to her!

121
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,210
Poor prince!

122
00:13:32,527 --> 00:13:36,179
- Let time now turn backwards.

123
00:16:20,414 --> 00:16:23,732
THE END

124
00:16:25,831 --> 00:16:28,763
From this fairy tale we may learn one thing,

125
00:16:29,186 --> 00:16:32,310
yet that one thing is more truthful than the truest history:

126
00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:35,460
Anything that we fall in love with

127
00:16:35,904 --> 00:16:40,110
becomes, for us, outstanding and clever.
