英文版：
Once upon a time, there was a merchant who had four daughters. The two eldest were very beautiful, but they were also proud and vain. The youngest daughter, Belle, was not only beautiful, but also kind and gentle.
One day, the merchant went on a journey to sell some goods. While he was away, his daughters asked him to bring them gifts. He returned with a rose for Belle, a mirror for the eldest, and a necklace for the second eldest.
However, the merchant was caught in a storm and lost his way. He came across a castle where he was welcomed by a kind servant. The servant told him that the castle belonged to a beast. The beast had been cursed by a witch, and the only way to break the curse was for someone to fall in love with him.
The merchant was offered food and shelter, but he was afraid of the beast. He tried to leave, but the beast stopped him. In order to get out, the merchant had to give the beast one of his daughters. The beast said that if Belle would come to the castle, he would let the merchant go.
Belle agreed to go, even though she was frightened. When she arrived at the castle, she found that the beast was actually a prince who had been turned into a monster by a witch. The beast treated her kindly and gave her everything she needed.
Over time, Belle began to see the good in the beast. She learned that he was not as cruel as he seemed. One day, the beast asked her to marry him, but she refused because she did not yet love him. He became very sad and told her that if she never loved him, he would die.
Later, the merchant fell ill, and Belle wanted to return home. The beast allowed her to go, but warned her that if she did not return before the last petal of the rose fell, she would never see him again.
Belle went back to her family, but she missed the beast. She returned to the castle just in time. When she saw the beast, she finally realized that she loved him. As she kissed him, the curse was broken, and the beast turned back into a handsome prince.
They married and lived happily ever after.
