Mammadova Aytan 203 A Beauty and the Beast
Once upon a time, as a merchant set off for market, he asked each of his three daughters what she would like as a present on his return. The first daughter wanted a brocade dress, the second a pearl necklace, but the third, whose name was Beauty, the youngest, prettiest and sweetest of them all, said to her father:
-"All I'd like is a rose having been picked specially for me!" (P1-passive -attribute)
After finishing his business, the merchant set off for home (Gerund-time)
However, a sudden storm blew up, and his horse could hardly make headway in the howling gale. Cold and weary, the merchant had lost all hope of reaching an inn when he suddenly noticed a bright light shining in the middle of a wood. (gerund-attribute)

"Forgive me! Forgive me! Don't kill me! (Imperative mood) I'll do anything you say! The rose wasn't for me. That was for my daughter to be happy (F.I.C-complex attrib.)
I promised to bring her back a rose from my journey!" (Inf-object)
The Beast dropped the paw it had clamped on the unhappy merchant.
“If you bring me your daughter, I shall spare your life”-(real conditional mood)
If the terror-stricken merchant didn’t obey , he would be killed (conditional mood)

"If you swear that you will return here in seven days time, I'll let you go and visit your father!" (real conditional mood)
"I swear! I swear I will! How kind you are! “ Beauty said. In reality, the merchant had fallen ill from a broken (P2-attribute) heart at knowing (gerund –circumst.)his daughter was being kept prisoner.

Beauty stayed beside him for hours on end, describing her life at the Castle, and explaining that the Beast was really good and kind (P1-attendant circ.)
The days flashed past, and at last the merchant recovered. He was completely well again. Beauty was happy at last.Then she noticed seven days had gone.
Then one night she woke from a terrible nightmare. She had dreamt that the Beast was dying and calling(P1-part of c.n.v.predicate) for her, twisting in agony.(P1-manner)
“Come back! Come back to me!" he was pleading(P1-part of c.n.v.p). The solemn promise she had made,so she arranged her to leave home immediately.(OPC-complex object)

Her heart in her mouth.(NAC-attendant circ.) , Beauty ran into the garden and the Beast crouched there, its eyes shut.(NAC-attendant circ.), as if being dead.(gerund-comparison)
