The true beauty!

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Alina. She lived in a village. She was very beautiful, but her nature was not kind. She used to mock people. Her sister Alanta was average-looking, but she was a good-natured and kind girl. She always completed household chores on time while her sister watched television, slept, and ate the whole day. Alina always asked Alanta to do all the chores, and after that massage her feet. Atlanta didn’t say a word and just did what she was asked to do. There was a prince who lived nearby in a palace. He was looking for someone to marry him. He went to the village where Alina and Alanta lived. He searched every house, and in the end, he went to their house. On seeing Alina, he said, “You are so beautiful”. Alina said Of course, I am. Then, after a few days, he saw the real nature of Alina, and he asked her, ‘Why are you so mean to people?’ She said because it’s fun. He quietly left that place. After that, he saw Alanta helping others. He said to himself, She is not that beautiful, but she is beautiful from within. I want a wife just like her. The prince fell in love with Alanta. The prince talked with Alanta. Alina was really angry and jealous of her sister. The prince asked Alanta to marry him. She agreed with joy and went to the palace with him. And they lived happily ever after. 

Moral of the Story – Appearance is not everything; you have to be beautiful from within.
