    Once upon a time there lived a man whose name was Bluebeard.

    (continued from previous page)
    To her horror she saw several dead women and the floor covered with blood. In her horror she let the keys fall. Not long after, Bluebeard returned and he asked her for the keys, she gave them to him and he said to her that she entered the room which he told her not to enter. He was about to kill her with a sword when her two brothers came to the gate. They rushed in and took the sword off Bluebeard and killed him. Then the two brothers and their sister lived happly afterwards.
