The eldest asks for a golden crown with gems, which will make the night as light as day. The middle daughter asks for a mirror, looking into which the girl does not age, but becomes more and more beautiful. The youngest daughter asks for a scarlet flower, the most beautiful one in this world. The merchant promises the two older daughters to get their gifts, and the younger daughter just to try to find such a flower: “A scarlet flower is not tricky to find, but how can I know that there is nothing more beautiful than it in this world?” Having received a large profit, but not finding the flower his daughter asked for, the merchant returns home with his servants and gifts for his eldest daughters. On the way, the merchant and his servants are attacked by robbers. Abandoning caravans and servants, the merchant runs away from the robbers into a dense forest. In the forest he comes out to a luxurious palace. Entering the palace, he sits down at the table, on which beautiful dishes and wines appear of their own accord. After dinner, an overnight stay and breakfast, he decides to take a walk in the garden around the palace and sees a scarlet flower of unprecedented beauty. Realizing that in front of him is the very flower that his daughter asked for, the merchant plucks it. Then an angry monster appears - the owner of the palace. Because the merchant, who was received as a dear guest, plucked his favorite flower, the joy of his whole life, the monster sentences the merchant to death. The merchant talks about his daughter’s request, and then the monster agrees to let the merchant go with a flower, giving him a rich gift, on the condition that one of his daughters must voluntarily come to his palace, where she will live in honor and freedom. If within three days none of the daughters wants to go to the palace, then the merchant must return himself, and then he will be executed with a cruel death. Having agreed and given his word of honor, the merchant receives a gold ring: whoever puts it on his right little finger will instantly be transported wherever he wishes. The merchant puts on the ring and finds himself at home. His caravans with servants enter the gates, and they carry goods and treasury three times as much as before. The merchant gives his daughters the promised gifts. The older daughters rejoice, and the younger daughter cries. In the evening, guests arrive and the feast begins. During the feast, silver and gold dishes spontaneously appear with such dishes that have never been seen in the house. The next day the merchant tells his daughters about what happened and invites each one to go to the monster. The eldest daughters flatly refuse to go, saying “let that daughter help out her father, for whom he got the scarlet flower.” The youngest daughter agrees, says goodbye to her father, puts on the ring and finds herself in the monster’s palace. In the palace, the merchant's daughter lives in luxury, and all her wishes are immediately fulfilled. The invisible owner of the palace assures that he considers her his mistress, and the girl in response says kind words to him. First, he communicates with her through fiery letters appearing on the wall, then with a voice heard in the gazebo. Gradually the girl gets used to his scary, wild voice. Yielding to the girl’s insistent requests, the monster shows himself to her (giving her the ring and allowing her to return if she wishes), and soon the girl gets used to his ugly appearance. The merchant's daughter and the monster are walking, having affectionate conversations. One day a girl dreams that her father is sick. The owner of the palace invites his beloved to return home, but warns that he cannot live without her, so if she does not return in three days, he will die. Returning home, the girl tells her father and sisters about her wonderful life in the palace. The father is happy for his daughter, but the sisters are jealous and persuade her not to return, but she does not give in to persuasion. Then the sisters change the clocks, as a result, their younger sister is late for the palace and finds the monster dead. The girl hugs the monster’s head and shouts that she loves him as a desired groom. As soon as she utters these words, lightning begins to strike, thunder rumbles and the earth begins to shake. The merchant's daughter faints, and when she wakes up, she finds herself on the throne with the prince, a handsome man. The prince says that he was turned into an ugly monster by an evil sorceress. He had to be a monster until there was a red maiden, no matter what her family and rank, who would love him in the form of a monster and wish to be his legal wife. He lived in the form of a monster for thirty years, brought eleven red maidens into his palace, but not one of them fell in love with him for his affection, pleasing and kind soul. Only she, the twelfth, fell in love with the prince, and as a reward for this she will be the queen. The merchant gives his blessing, and his daughter and the prince get married.
