beautiful princess
ugly princess
sisters

A long time ago, a queen had two daughters.

The younger daughter was beautiful.

She had long hair, nice clothes and a pretty smile.

The older daughter was not beautiful.

She had messy hair, an ugly hood and a loud voice.

She liked to ride on a donkey and hold a wooden spoon.

Her name was Tatterhood.

 

People did not like Tatterhood. They thought she was strange.

But Tatterhood was happy and she loved her sister.

trolls

One day, trolls came to the castle.

Everyone was scared, except for Tatterhood.

Tatterhood fought all the trolls away.

She saved her family and all the people in the castle!

Tatterhood was a hero, but people still did not understand her.

"Why do you look like that, Tatterhood?" they asked.

Just then, Tatterhood's donkey turned into a beautiful horse.

Her spoon turned into a wand.

Her hair became long and her hood became a beautiful dress.

"I could be beautiiful if I wanted to be." said Tatterhood.

Then Tatterhood changed back.

The people finally understood.

Tatterhood was beautiful inside and outside.

Tatterhood knew that beauty was not the most important thing.

That is why it is more important to be beautiful on the inside, and why we should not judge others by their beauty on the outside.
