18． There was once a fairy. She was the kindest and cleverest of all fairies. However, she was also very ugly. No matter how kind she was to others, they all thought that the most important thing about a fairy was her beauty.

She studied very hard. Her magic was very powerful. And more than once she considered using her magic to make herself beautiful. But then she remembered what her mother had always told her, "You are what you are, so just be yourself. You are this way for a very special reason. "
Then, one day, some bad witches(女巫)came and took away all the fairies except the ugly fairy. They didn't think she was a fairy. She was helped by her ugly face. She followed the witches back to their home. There she used her magic to save all the fairies. Then they worked together and beat the witches.
From then on, everyone remembered the clever and brave fairy.
In our life, we can't judge(判断)a person by his looks.
