Once upon a time, a wealthy tall man lived in a palace in the countryside. He was nicknamed Bluebeard because of his blue beard which made him ugly. One day, Bluebeard asked his neighbours if one of their daughters wanted to marry him. The girls were horrified and none of them wished (souhaiter) to become his bride.

So, Bluebeard organized a banquet where he chose a wife against her will (contre sa volonté) and she had to (elle a du) live with him.

Later, he needed to leave his palace and he gave his wife the keys of his castle. She could open all the doors of the palace but he forbade her to enter in one of the room if she didn't want to suffer from his wrath (colère, courroux)

Of course, she eventually (finalement) came into the forbidden room because her curiosity was stronger and there (là) she discovered the dead bodies of Bluebeard's former wives and a lot of blood. She dropped the key on the floor which was covered with blood and there was a stain of blood on the key. Although she tried to wash it, the blood remained on the key because it was magical. She told her sister about the forbidden room and she planned to flee (fuir) the next morning.

Unfortunately (malheureusement), Bluebeard came back sooner than intended and when he realized that his wife had entered the room she wasn’t allow to, he threatened (menacer) to kill her. His wife begged him to have a last prayer with her sister Anne. While he was about (to be about être sur le point) to kill his wife, Anne and her brother killed Bluebeard. His wife inherited the castle and all Bluebeard’s dead women were buried.
