“A wealthy merchant lived in a mansion with his three daughters. They were all very beautiful, but only the youngest, fourteen year old Belle, was lovely and pure of heart; her sisters, in contrast, were wicked and selfish. The merchant eventually lost all of his wealth in a tempest at sea. As a consequence of this he and his daughters were forced to live in a small farmhouse and work for their living. After some years of this, the merchant heard that one of the trade ships he had sent off had arrived back in port, having escaped the destruction of its compatriots. He returned to the city to discover whether it contained anything valuable. Before leaving, he asked his daughters if they would like him to bring any gifts back for them. The oldest two asked for jewels and fine dresses, thinking that his wealth had returned. Belle was satisfied with the promise of a rose, as none grow in their part of the country. The merchant, to his dismay, found that his ship’s cargo had been seized to pay his debts, leaving him without money to buy his daughters their presents”
