It was Adelina’s Birthday. She turned nine. All her friends came to celebrate her Birthday. The house was beautifully decorated with her favorite rose gold balloons and glitter strings which hung in the wall.
Her mother prepared
tasty dishes for her and her friends. She cooked puffy pooris with peas and
potato gravy, roasted cauliflower, French fries and a big jar of fresh orange
juice. She didn’t forget to bake the top most all time favorite Red Velvet
cake.
Adelina’s friends were
all different, each one with different personality and character. But she loved
them all. Teena was short and dark girl. Rinku was quiet tall and had big eyes.
Roshini has curled hair. Padma, a plumpy girl. Iren was fair and had freckles
on her face. Alankrita had strong legs like an athlete. Alice’s hair was brown
and long. And Adelina was brown, skinny and had a big nose that looked odd on
her face.
There were other
perfect and beautiful girls in the school. They always tease Adelina and her
friends for the looks they had.
Before the party, the
girls - Adelina and her friends started to talk about their own looks and how
they wanted to hide or change them. So they can also look beautiful like their
other perfect girls in the group.
Mom heard them and
thought why these girls are complaining so much about their outer looks, but they
have forgotten to see the great qualities in them. Teena was the bravest girl
in the class. Alankrita with those strong legs can do a perfect cartwheel roll.
Irena is a very calm, kind and sweet girl. She helps anybody who is in need.
She shares her books, pencils and eraser. Padma is very good in sports like
Disc throw and shotput.
Mom said to herself
that “If they could change their views about themselves, they will stop
complaining about their looks”.
A great idea popped out
of her mind.
The Fairy called Teena
and asked her to see her reflection. In the mirror, Teena saw her as a
brilliant doctor fighting to save a life. She was all dressed up in surgical
scrubs with mask and gloves on her hand. Holding the surgical knife and doing
what she knows. She looked confident but she no longer cared about her height
or the dark skin complexion.
It was Rinku’s turn,
when she saw her in the mirror. She could see her as ballet dancer performing
in front of a big crowd. And it was because of her height and passion for dance
she made up to this level. Especially the eyes were so expressive when she dances.
Rinku was glad to see her future.
Alankrita got the
mirror from the fairy and she could see a strong woman running super fast in Olympics
race. It was her. She had won the gold medal for her country.
That day became the
most special day in the girls life. All got their turn to see what they will
become in the future. The mirror changed their flaws of their outer look and
gave confidence to see their talents they were born with.
Finally, it was Adelina’s
turn to look into the mirror. She was standing in front of little children and
teaching them lessons. She taught the kids with patience, wisdom and love. Adelina
wondered that how her big nose fitted her beautiful round face perfectly.
The Fairy said “Beauty
is not about the height, size, facial features, complexion or hair length …Beauty
is all about becoming who you really are and believing in yourself”.
The Fairy wished “Happy
Birthday Adelina!” And she went back into the box.
Moral: The most beautiful
thing you can wear is your Confidence. Each one is different from one another.
You should understand how unique you are. There is no copy of you, you are Original.
Everyone is blessed with a God-given talent, find it and make use of it. All
the best for your future!
I love "em
