Scarlett flower

Once upon a time,
in a far away village, a merchant was preparing his packages for a long journey.
This merchant had three daughters, and
he asked all of them,

          "My precious daughters, what do you would like as gifts when Dad returned from this voyage?"

"I like a golden crown!, make me look like a princess.." said the first daughter loudly from bedroom.
"Crytal mirror with gold engraving is perfect for my gift." said the second one while choosing ribbon for her hair.
"the first little scarlet flower that Dad see when come home. "said the third daughter while preparing their father's mantle.

The merchant take to the road on his journey.
It didn't very difficult to find a beautiful golden crown and a engraving crystal mirror.
He had difficulty finding the third gift, the scarlet flower.
When the merchant go to home, he see the beautifull rose garden mansion.
He search over the huge mansion.
Deep and deep, the merchant can not found the owner. So, he take one beautiful scarlet flower and back to the fence. The merchant was close with the fence when hear the deep voice call him.

Unexpectedly, the youngest daughter rose make badly deal with the big beast. Who picking flower in his garden must be send one daughter or family to live with the beast forever, the merchant can't turn back the time, the scarlet flower already picked. Inevitably, the merchant must be accept the deal or die.

Upon recieving the scarlet flower, the merchant's youngest daughter agreed to go to the beast.
She walk alone into the forest and found the huge mansion where she would live forever.

Evidently, she lived there very happily.
The beast showered her daily with kindness and gifts.
She started to grow quite fond of her invisible keeper, and one day asked that he show himself.
The beast reluctantly gave into her plea, and just as he had feared, she recoiled in terror at the site of him.


That night the girl had a bad dream about her father falling deathly ill.
She begged the beast to release her, so that she could find her dying father.
Touched by her concern, the beast released her on one condition - that she return to him in three days time.

The girl found her father, and prepared to return to the beast in the alloted time.
However, her sisters altered the time on the clocks, making her arrive late.

There upon her arrival the girl was horrified at what she encountered. The beast was dead, lying there clutching her scarlet flower.
Heartbroken, the girl embraced the dead beast, and declared her love for him.

Having done this, she unknowingly broke the evil spell, and
her beloved beast awoke,
turning into a handsome prince.
They lived happily ever after
