Once there was a little girl with hair as black as coal. She loved to brush and stroke it as though it were gold.
One night a jealous sister stole into her room and cut off all her raven locks. Then swept up the strands with a willow broom.
Now when the little girl awoke and noticed that her hair was chopped all short and cropped, her eyes bulged and bulged and looked as if they'd pop!
Mother came hurrying down the stairs so fast, wondering what the ruckas was and didn't want it to last. As she noticed her little girl with her hair all gone and sad, she also heard a gigle escape from under the bed.
Trying to show remorse, the jealous sister emerged from underneath the bed. With a stern look Mother handed her little girl that same scissors to fix the others head.
Now the little girl is no longer very vain, and the jealous sister doesn't envy her mane. Both sisters now know that though they differ... it doesn't matter and that they love each other just the same!
