Personal comment
From this story, I think beauty in the face is not
really important. The most important is inner beauty, because inner beauty will
reveal in the face.
Look at Princess Camilla. She is ugly but has
unaffected heart. She can married to Prince Simon in a long way.
Besides, this story inspires me to be a plain or
simple woman. I believe that every people have their own excess. Just be your
self!
Be a beautiful woman with bad attitude is nonsense. It
will be different if having ugly face, example, with beauty of heart.
