“Scarlet Flower” by S. Aksakov

A famous Russian folk tale written by Sergey Aksakov is based on the familiar legend of Beauty and the Beast:

"Once upon a time, there lived a wealthy merchant who loved his three beautiful daughters dearly. One day, this merchant was going on a voyage and asked the maidens what presents they would like. The two elder daughters, who were spoiled and vain, asked for rare and costly treasures. The youngest girl, hardworking and modest, asked only for a little scarlet flower..."
