"Miss
Smith! What rough (粗糙的) hands Mary Jessup
has! "said Daisy Marvin, as she walked home from school with her teacher.
"In
my opinion, Daisy, Mary's hands are the prettiest in our class"
"Why?
Miss Smith, they are as red and hard as they can be. How they would look if she
tried to play on a piano! "Daisy said.
Miss
Smith took Daisy's hands in hers, and said, "Your hands are very soft and
white, just the hands to look beautiful on a piano; yet they don't have one
beauty that Mary's hands do .Shall I tell you what the difference is?”
"Yes,
please, Miss Smith." Daisy looked at Miss Smith, with eyes wide open.
"Will,
Daisy, Mary's hands are very busy. They wash dishes; they make fires; they hang
out clothes, and help to wash them, too; they are always trying to help her
poor, hard-working mother."
Miss
Smith continued, "Besides, they wash and dress the children; they mend
their toys and dress their dolls; yet, they find time to bathe the head of the little
girl who is so sick in the next house to theirs."
"They
do good deeds (行为) to every living thing. I
have seen them patting the tired horse and the homeless dog in the street. They
are always ready to help those who need help."
"I
shall never think Mary's hands are ugly any more, Miss Smith." Daisy said
that with tears in eyes.
"I
am glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are
beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully."
"Oh,
Miss Smith! I feel so ashamed of myself and so sorry, "said Daisy, looking
into her teacher's face with shining eyes.
