从前有一位商人，他有三个女儿。小女儿贝儿既聪明又漂亮，两个姐姐非常嫉妒她。
贝儿不像姐姐们那样整天跳舞或看戏。她不喜欢打扮，却很喜欢读书。两个姐姐经常嘲笑、挖苦她，说她是不会享受生活的书呆子。不过，善良的贝儿一点儿也不生气。
Once upon a time,there was a merchant.He had three daughters.The youngest one was called Belle.She was beautiful and clever.So her two sisters were jealous of her.
Unlike her sisters,she didn’t like dressing up but enjoyed reading.Her two sisters always laughed at her,but Belle never got angry.
一天，商人收到了一封信，信上说他有一船货物顺利运到了，要他去接收。大女儿和二女儿高兴极了，她们缠着爸爸，要他给她们买连衣裙和首饰。贝儿什么要求也没有提，她只希望爸爸能平安回来。
“你难道不想要点儿什么吗？”商人忍不住问小女儿。
贝儿想了想，说：“那就请您为我采一朵玫瑰花吧。”
One day,the merchant was going on a business trip.The two sisters asked their father to buy them dresses and jewelry,but Belle asked for nothing.She only wanted her father to come back safely.
“Don’t you want any gift?”the merchant asked Belle.
“Maybe you could pick a rose for me,”she said.
