THE POOR AND THE RICH. By Kylie Ho 5A(10).
There once were two girls. One was rich but the other one was poor. Everyone was fond of the rich girl’s beauty And thought that the poor girl was ugly..
Another day when the poor girl was on her way to school. She saw the rich girl who was ‘cool’. Just then a boy who was younger than them came. After him were a group of children yelling, ‘He’s lame!’.
The rich girl agreed with them but the poor girl was filled with antipathy. The poor girl stood up and admonished the children seriously..
She then took the boy away to a cave, Over there the boy was safe. Suddenly the boy was surrounded by a strong, blue light Shiny as a huge sun and bright like the moon..
Promptly the light swallowed the boy And there was voice. ‘Thank you for rescuing me. How can I reward you?’ But the poor girl refused it..
The voice was touched by the girl’s kindness ‘You are not ugly at all – your kindness makes you beautiful.’ and the light disappeared..
It doesn’t matter if you are not pretty. The most important thing is your inner beauty..
Thank you!.
