Once upon a time, there was a family with two daughters, who were beautiful and kind, but their personalities were very different. The eldest daughter is naturally beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and is deeply loved by her parents; The youngest daughter has a strong personality and is informal, which makes her parents quite a headache.
In the blink of an eye, both daughters have reached the age of marriage.
On this day, a wealthy suitor came to visit and proposed to his two daughters. The eldest daughter was full of joy and thought it was a godsend; The youngest daughter doesn't have a good impression of this person and thinks he's too tacky. So, the youngest daughter politely declined this family business.
When the parents saw their youngest daughter reject a wealthy suitor, they were angry and thought she was making a fuss. So, the parents decided to let the eldest daughter marry first, while the younger daughter was asked to stay at home and reflect.
Soon after the eldest daughter was married, the wealthy suitor died of illness. His family came to pay their respects to his eldest daughter and told her that he had left all his possessions to her. Although the eldest daughter was sad in her heart, she gradually came out of her grief when she thought that she was about to become a wealthy heiress.
The youngest daughter, on the other hand, stayed at home and silently reflected on her actions. She begins to realize how much her waywardness has hurt her family and begins to think seriously about her future.
Just then, a handsome prince passed by the village, and he was attracted by the beauty and wisdom of his youngest daughter and proposed to her. The youngest daughter, seeing that the prince was so sincere, agreed to his proposal.
On the day of the wedding, the village was bustling with activity. The villagers came to congratulate the younger daughter on her good luck, but at the same time felt sorry for what happened to the eldest daughter.
However, just then, a mysterious wizard appears at the wedding scene. He told the crowd that he had brought good news and bad news.
Here's the good news: the eldest daughter will regain her wealth and happiness. The bad news: she will lose her beauty and voice. The wizard took out a bottle and dripped the potion on the little daughter's body, and her face instantly turned ugly and her voice became hoarse.
The eldest daughter witnessed all this and was horrified and realized that this was the punishment for her past arrogance and selfishness.
However, the youngest daughter was not discouraged by this. She told her sister: "Beauty and voice are not the most important thing, the kindness and tolerance of the heart are the real beauty." Her words touched everyone present and made them realize that true happiness does not come from external wealth and beauty, but from inner kindness and tolerance.
Since then, the youngest daughter has used her kindness and wisdom to help the people of the village solve many problems, and has won everyone's respect and love. The eldest daughter began to reflect on her past, worked hard to correct her mistakes, and started her happy life again.
This story teaches us that outer wealth and beauty are not eternal, but inner kindness and tolerance are the true beauty. Only by cherishing what you have and being tolerant of others can you achieve true happiness and success.
