Dottie shows the teacher the sketches of all her classmates.
- I can’t see anything that looks like you, though. Where are the
striped pyjamas?
- Oh, I just wear these, Miss, so I can see all my beautiful friends
around me.

The next morning Miss Giraffine said to the animals of the class:

- Everyone did very well. Everyone said that beautiful is someone that
looks like them. Dottie, though, said that beautiful is someone that
sees others as beautiful.
- But, Miss, I didn’t say that…complained Dottie.
- I know, my dear Dottie. But if you think about it closely, with your
little head, you’ll see that this is what you meant. And, you have an ‘A’!
- But I always get ‘F’s, Miss.

- Well, this time you have an ‘A’. Be quiet! And let’s move on to Maths…

Dottie came home:
- Mum, don’t be sad, today I have an ‘A’.
- Well done. It seems that you liked the lesson. Now get ready. Browny,
the lion, will be here in a minute. You can see how beautiful it is when
she roars…She has braces now!
- Mum, she’s very beautiful Aunt Browny.
- Of course she is. What are you talking about? Do you know anyone

who isn’t beautiful around you? Now, go and draw a beautiful picture
for your aunt.
