It was a cold winter’s night. The wind was blowing and thick snow was falling to the ground. There were two girl babies were born. They were Mara and Clara. Clara lived in a rich family and Mara lived in a poor family. Especially, they lived within a small city, but never met .When they grew up, Clara was a beautiful and very arrogant girl , while Mara was a ugly girl, but she was very kind, thoughful and always an excellent student.One day, the class of Clara had a new girl student who was Mara. Teacher: “Today, our class will have a new member. Do you introduce yourself ? ”. Mara: “ Good morning everyone ! My name is Mara. Nice to meet you!”. Teacher: “That is Clara who is the monitor and she can help you if you have small trouble ”. Bella: “Oh my God! She is ugly, so I don’t like her!”. Clara: “She looks very poor. Why is she studied here?”. Anna: “My friends said she received a scholarship from our school ”. Mara often went to the library because no one wanted to talk to her . That’s what made her sad. In the library, when Mara was reading book, Anna came to and sat beside her. Anna: “Hi ! I am Anna. What are you reading ?”. Mara: “Hi! I am reading “I see yellow flowers on the green grass” by Nguyen Nhat Anh. It is about two young brothers who share everything, but compete for the affection of the same girl. It is very exciting! Have you read it yet? ”. Anna: “Oh. No, I have not. Can I borrow it after you finish reading? ”. Mara: “Of course”. Then, Mara was not alone every time to class anymore. Because of Mara’s ugly appearence, her classmates teased her all the time. She felt very bad, however Anna always protected her from teasing words that. Clara: “You are like an ugly duckling ! Ugly duckling! Ugly duckling....hahaha”. Bella: “Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror yet? It’s horrible. Oh my God! ”. Anna: “Please stop ! In my eyes, she is a pretty girl. Her outward beauty would be hollow were it not for the beauty of her heart. She is friendly, hard-working and helpful. And you? Your hearts are selfish and unkind”. On Sunday morning , Bella made Clara a call.Bella: “ Hi, Clara. Tonight, I am going to have big party. Would you like to join it?”. Clara: “It sounds great. But my parents do not allow me to go out late.” Bella: “You will regret unless you come there”. At 10 o’clock pm, when Clara was walking on the road, a men robbed her handbag and pushed her to the ground. Fortunately, a girl had caught him and regained her bag.Mara: “ Are you ok? Oh! Clara! ”. Clara: “Mara.Thank you very much! I’m fine. Where are you going?”. Mara: “I have worked in that restaurant for 4 hours , now I am going home. What about you ?”. Clara: “Me, too. I have just joined Bella’s party . Do you work part-time? ”. Mara: “ Yes. I do. I want to earn extra money to help my mother.” Clara: “Oh. I apologize to you for teasing your appearence. I realize that an external beauty without a depth of character is not true beauty at all. Can you forgive me?”. Mara: “ Yes, I can.”. Clara: “Really? Thank you for saving me . It’s very kind of you”. Mara: “Nothing. Oh.Your hand is injured, I will tape wound”. Clara was touched because it was the first time she had understand what was true friendship. After that, they came back home together and talked about everything happily. Ever since then, Mara and Clara become close friends.
