My neighbor’s eight-year-old daughter used to stay in the countryside. She1 (bring) to town to live with her parents last November. Wild and uneducated, she often used dirty words and hit others,2 of course, made her parents rather embarrassed. Sometimes she went so far as to roll on the ground in the 3 (present) of many other people. Her parents tried to teach her 4 she should behave by shouting and 5 (beat), only to make things even worse. Finally they became completely disappointed with her.
One day their next-door neighbor,6 retired woman teacher, gave the girl a very beautiful snow-white dress. It caught the girl’s eyes and made them shine 7 (bright).
The girl put on the dress and became quite another person. She no longer said dirty words or hit others, even 8 (little) rolled on the floor. She knew she couldn’t run wild in such a beautiful dress. Since then the girl had been gentle, neat, and lovely.
Everyone has a beautiful dress 9 (hide)somewhere in his or her heart. And beauty has the power to wake up fine qualities that humans are born with 10 have so far not yet been found.
