Long long ago, there was a fairy(仙女) on a large island. She was the strongest and cleverest among all fairies. However, she was very ugly. On the island, every fairy thought beauty was the most important thing for a fairy, so the ugly fairy had no friends. Every time she was sent to save someone in trouble, before she could say a word, the person would shout loudly, “Ugly! Get out of here, right now!”
She once wanted to use her magic to become beautiful. But then she remembered what her mother told her, “My dear, you are what you are, and never change your looks just for such a simple reason.”
One day, some witches (巫婆)from a small island attacked(攻击) the island—the ugly fairy’s home. All the fairies were sent to prison. The ugly fairy changed herself into a witch just before she was caught. Then she followed the witches back to their island and held a party for them. While the witches were having fun at the party, she went to free all the fairies. When all the fairies were free, they worked together to defeat the witches and put them in prison.
After that, all the fairies didn’t laugh at the ugly fairy any more. They realized that beauty was not the most important thing.
