The beautiful but nasty
little girl
Once upon a time, there was
a very beautiful girl. She lived in a big room with many wonderful things.
There was a golden mirror, many cupboards with a lot of clothes, some musical
instruments and a bookshelf with some old books. The dust had already covered
the musical instruments and the books because she never even looked at them.
She just sat or stood in front of her golden mirror, dressed, undressed and
combed her beautiful long hair. The mirror and the clothes were very happy
and constantly told the little girl how beautiful she was but the books and
musical instruments were very sad. “We will leave you,” they said to the
girl. But she only laughed at them and kicked them out of the room, while the
mirror and the dresses broke out in a horrible laughter. Now the books and
musical instruments stood outside in the cold and dark hall and many tears
ran down their cheeks. Outside they heard the laughter coming from the inside
of the room. “Do we really deserve that?” they asked each other. However, one
day, the little girl got very ill. She had to lay in bed all day long and
even her golden mirror and her clothes couldn’t make her smile. Many doctors
were called but when they examined her, they just couldn’t find anything.
Then one evening, when she was asleep, she had to turn to the left and then
to the right, but she couldn’t find peace in her dream. The mirror and the
dresses looked at her with big anxiety. “Will she never get healthy again?”
they asked each other. In her dream, she saw her golden mirror and dresses
fighting with the books and musical instruments. Moreover, suddenly, a
beautiful fairy appeared and the things stopped quarreling. She told the
things, “your lady is bored, she is ill of boredom.” “Aren’t we interesting
enough for her?” asked the mirror and the dresses. “You are very necessary
for her,” answered the fairy, “but she needs a bit different entertainment as
well.” Then she woke up. The mirror and the dresses came closer. The little
girl opened her eyes a bit and said in a weak voice, “Bring the piano in!” At
first the mirror and dresses couldn’t believe their ears and didn’t want to
call for the piano, but when they saw that their lady felt very bad, they
opened the door and pulled in the piano. Very quietly, it began to play and
slowly she got a bit better. Then she asked for a tale to be told to her. A
book was brought in and when it opened it told her a fairy tale. Slowly after
some weeks, she was the old again. But not totally. Now, she didn’t send the
books and musical instruments out again. From now on, she spend half of her
time with her golden mirror and dresses and the other half of her time with
the books and instruments. And them as well, they got on well together.
The father promised the
children that he would do their homework with them and the children knew that
he would make a tale out of each little task. So they fell asleep very
satisfied and from then on always made their homework with their father
together. It was always big fun and even the father learned things, which had
not been known at his school time. When the children had grown up, they
became teachers and never forgot that the material at school had to be
presented in an interesting way to the children if the teacher really wanted
the pupils to understand the world.
