The Ugly Little Girl

One day the children decided to hold a fancy-dress party. Everyone made a drawing of how they would dress up. The Ugly Little Girl drew a fairy! The other children laughed themselves silly. "You want to be a fairy? You're even ugly as a girl!" But even the Ugly Little Girl can turn into a beauty with the help of true friends.
