怪物史莱克2

魅力王子：很久很久以前，在一个“遥遥王国”里，国王和王后正庆祝他们美丽的宝贝女儿诞生。全国上下一片欢腾，直到太阳西下。但同时国王夫妇看见自己的女儿受到可怕的魔法诅咒，每到夜晚她的模样就会变丑。绝望的国王和王后求助于仙女教母。仙女教母要他们将公主关在远方的一座高塔里，在那里等候着潇洒的魅力王子的吻。他将独自一人经历严寒，穿过酷热的沙漠，夜以继日，冒着生命的危险到达火龙看守的城堡。因为他是这世界上最勇敢、也是最英俊的人。因此他的这一吻，将必能打破可怕的诅咒。他将独自一人攀上最高的那座塔上最高的那个房间，进入公主的寝室，穿过房间来到她的卧榻前，掀起纱幔，发现她——哦！（发现一只狼躺在床上看书。）
狼：什么事？
