[Mah Moud]

Lear is the king of Britain. When he is old, he decides to give his country to his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. But before he does this, he asks them to tell him how much they love him. Two of the daughters, Goneril and Regan, say they love him much more than they really do. The third daughters, Cordelia, does not say very much. She does not know how to describe her love for her father. Lear is angry with Cordelia, and gives all his money and land to Goneril and Regan. Cordelia is sent away and goes to live in France where she marries the king .

Old Lear soon discover that he made a terrible mistake. It is soon obvious to him that Goneril and Regan said that they loved him only so that they could have his money and his country. The truth is that they do not love their father at all. Lear wanders around the country with his last two good friends until they arrive in Dover.

In France, Cordelia hears what happened to her father. She comes to England with soldiers to try to save him and to take his country back from her two sisters. English soldiers arrive in Dover and beat the French. Cordelia and Lear are captured and taken to prison. Here, Cordelia tells her father how much she really loves him .
