From Australia.

It consists of 365,438+0 stories. The story we chose (Belinda and the Ugly Woman) is a folk story about a beautiful queen being pushed out by her two sisters. What country is the clever shepherd? Later, she was forced to marry an ugly monster for various reasons and lived a happy and beautiful life.

When her sister gets married, she wants to see it. The ugly monster promised her to bring gold and silver jewelry and a ring, saying that you would come back immediately when the jewelry on it darkened. The girl promised to come down.

When she came home with jewels, her two sisters were so jealous that they wanted to hide the ring. When the girl saw the ring, it was much darker than before. When she came back, the monster was dying. When she saw the girl ask her if she would marry him, the girl turned him down.

Soon after, her second sister got married and the girl went home again. When she found the ring as before, a corner was missing this time. When the girl got home, the monster could not be found. The girl shouted, ugly monster, come out and I'll marry you! Then a handsome knight stood up from the rose bushes. It turns out that this handsome knight is the king.

It turned out that the king was enchanted and turned into a monster. Only when the girl is willing to marry him can she return to her original appearance. The king married Belinda and made her queen. From then on, they lived a happy and beautiful life.

After reading the China and Africa parts of folk stories, it became the main content of winter vacation reading to continue reading the first and second volumes of Europe.
