Question

【题目】

“Miss Roberts! What ugly hands Mary has!” said Daisy, as she walked home from school with her teacher.

“In my opinion, Daisy, Mary’s hands are the prettiest in the class.”

“Why, Miss Roberts, they are as red and hard as they can be. How will they look if she tries to play on a piano!” explained Daisy. Miss Roberts took Daisy’s hands in hers, and said, “Your hands are very soft and white, Daisy—just the hands to look beautiful on a piano; but they lack one beauty that Mary’s hands have. Shall I tell you what the difference is?”

“Yes, please, Miss Roberts.”

“Well, Daisy, Mary’s hands are always busy. They wash dishes; they make fires; they hang out clothes, and help to wash them, too; they sweep, and dust, and sew; they are always trying to help her poor, hard-working mother. ”

“Besides, they wash and dress the children; they mend their toys and dress their dolls; However, they find time to bathe the head of the little girl who is so sick in the next house to theirs.

“I shall never think Mary’s hands are ugly any more, Miss Roberts.”

“I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they do their work gladly and cheerfully.”

“Miss Roberts! I feel so ashamed of myself, and so sorry,” said Daisy, looking into her teacher’s face with tearful eyes.

“Then, my dear, show your regret by deeds of kindness. The good alone are really beautiful.”
