There once lived a very wealthy French man that had a blue beard, this blue beard made him very ugly and unattractive despite all the previous wives he had, he wanted another. To lure a new wife into his palms he asked his neighbour to ask her two daughters if they were to marry him. After having been rejected due to his status and appearance he thought of a better, cunning and tempting plan, this was by giving eight whole days to the two girls, their mother and close friends in his castle, they would fish, hunt and play pranks on each other. However, these eight days made the entire difference and lead one of the sisters to announce that she was to marry Blueeard. After arriving at the castle as his wife, Bluebeard announced that he was to leave the castle for a few week’s, he gave his wife every single key in the castle to her, including a key to a small room that she was forbidden to enter even after her sister warned her not to enter, she did. She opened the door and found the wives of Bluebeard hanging and dripping with blood everywhere, shocked with fear she drooped the entire set of keys on the floor, stained with blood that would not wash off. She told her sister and they decided to run away, however, Bluebeard returned and found that his wife had disobeyed him he decided that he was now to behead her. She was allowed 15 minutes on her own to pray asking her sister to call her two brothers, they arrived just in time and killed Bluebeard, as Bluebeard didn’t have an heirs the wife inherited his vast wealth and gave some in return to her sister and brothers. She married a worthy man whose kind treatment led her to forget about evil Bluebeards cruelty. End.
