She studied very hard. Her magic was very powerful. And more than once she considered using her magic to make herself beautiful. But then she remembered what her mother had always told her, "You are what you are, so just be yourself. You are this way for a very special reason.”
Then,one day, some bad witches(女巫)came and took away all the fairies except the ugly fairy. They didn't think she was a fairy. She was helped by her ugly face.

George didn't want to recall(回忆起)one of his trips a few months ago. He had two sets of meetings to go to over two days. The first set of meetings was in Birmingham.
