A man has two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is good-looking, but the girl is not. Today they find a mirror(镜子) and for the first time they see what they look like. The boy is very happy and says to his sister, "How handsome I am! I look much nicer than you!”The girl doesn't like what her brother says and gives him a hard push(推)."Go away!" she says. Their father sees what is happening.
He goes up to them and says to the boy,"You must always be good as well as look good." Then to the girl, he says, "My dear, if you help everyone and do your best to please(使......高兴) everyone, everyone will love you. It will not matter that you are not as good-looking as your brother. It is better to be good than to be good-looking.
