Beauty put the ring on, and went to bed. In the morning, she woke up in her father’s house. She saw a box in the corner of the room. It was full of gold and beautiful dresses. The dresses were made of jewels and silver. Beauty knew that these were presents from the beast. “Thank you, Beast,” she said to herself. When the lonely old merchant saw Beauty, he began to cry. His tears were tears of joy. “You are a gift from heaven,” he said. “I thought the Beast ate you.” The merchant hugged his daughter for a long time. They were so happy.
