Maria is a beautiful young girl. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes, but she is still very insecure(缺乏信心的). She is insecure about how she looks. She often thinks most of her friends are more beautiful than her. One day a now girl joined her class. Her name is Sarah. She has dark brown hair and green eyes. Maria though the new girl was beautiful and wished she looked like her. Over time she became jealous(妒忌的) of Sarah. One day she decided to take action.

She thought if she looked like Sarah, she would feel much better. So she went out with her elder sister and bought some hair dye(染发剂). When she returned home, she told her mother what she planned to do.

"It's your decision(决定)," said her mother sadly."But I think you look beautiful as you are."

Maria didn't hear what her mother said. She spent a few hours dyeing her hair dark down. She felt much better and went to school happily the next day. As she reached her class she saw a blonde girl sitting near the front. Later she knew it was Sarah. Sarah dyed her hair blonde. It was almost the same color as Maria's was before. Sarah turned around and Maria spoke to her.

"Why do you dye your hair?" asked Maria.

"Well, I always love your hair," said Sarah.

Maria sat down and sighed(叹气).
