There was once a sculptor whose name was Alfred. He lived on the small island

of Zealand where he met a beautiful women called Kaela. She was really

beautiful but she was quite dull and quite lazy. However, Alfred couldn't take his

eyes off her. He visited her many times at home and finally asked her to him.

Alfred and Kaela got married and travelled abroad. They visited many places

and they were very happy until Kaela got ill. Her friend, Sophie, came visit them.

Sophie was not beautiful but she was a good housewife and a good friend. She

was also extremely kind and helped look after Kaela. Unfortunaltely, Kaela was

extremely ill and died.

Later, when Alfred married Sophie, people were surprised. “His first wife was

very beautiful but his second wife is quite ugly,” they said. Alfred disagreed. “It's

true that Kaela was very beautiful but beauty of the body is nothing compared to

beauty of the mind. Sophie is very interesting, really generous and extremely

kind. These qualities have made me lover her. To me she is Beautiful, most

beautiful!”
