Parable

There was once a pair of sisters. The elder sister looks really beautiful. She has silky blond hair, the prettiest shade of blue eyes and straight white teeth. People would stop and stare at her on the streets. The younger sister, however, looks nothing like the younger sister. She has brown hair that always seemed to be tangled together. She has tiny eyes and a crooked smile. 
The elder sister is really proud of her looks. She stand in front of the mirror for hours, just combing her hair and looking at herself in the mirror. She wants to look her best every day. She would also look down on people that are ugly, so she was never nice to her sister. The younger sister, on the other hand, takes her time to do study and more useful things. She treated people nicely and would quietly help people when they are in need. As time went by, the villagers grew to like the younger sister more than the elder one. They see the inner beauty in her. When the younger sister finally grew up, she married a knowledgeable man that provided her with a stable and happy life. The elder sister married a very good looking man. The man, however, never worked. He was also really flower-hearted. The elder sister fought with her husband a lot and was really poor. She finally learned that looks is not everything.
