     How wonderful it is to be a princess! Luxury palaces, beautiful clothes, grand parties and so many wonderful things. Every girl wants to have this. To be a princess is many girls’ dream in their childhood. However in our real life every one can be a princess in our real life.
    Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote this story “A Little Princess”. The story began in India. A little girl, Sara, had moved from India to London with her father. They were rich, so Sara was sent to the best school. Her classmates and teachers treated her like a princess. They were nice to her and they gave her all the best things in the school. She was happy and had a lot of friends. She was kind and nice to everyone. She loved her teachers, her classmates and friends.
    But after a short time, Sara’s father was dead in an accident. Sara became poor. The teachers and classmates changed. The teachers took her beautiful clothes away and asked her to move out of the comfortable room and made her clean the school. She wore old dirty clothes, did the heavy work, but she still had deep love in her heart. She was nice to everyone though they treated her badly. She never gave up her faith and her love. In the end, a friend of her father found her. Her father had left her a great sum of wealth. She became rich again. All beautiful things came back. The teachers and classmates became nice and friendly to her again. She forgave them for she had never hated them.     She left London. She had said one word, which I will never forget “Every girl can be a princess.”
Yes, it is true. Every one wants to be a princess and everyone can be a princess. Princess does not mean the noble origin or the big property. It is something deep in our heart, it is kindness, it is belief of good things and it is generosity and braveness. In a word, it is all the good things in our life. Sara was called the little princess, it’s not because she was rich. Her kindness, friendliness, self-confidence and courage make her become a real princess. In another word, the princess is a girl who has the best quality. This also means that if we can behave like Sara and do all the best things, we can also become princesses.
    So every girl, let’s try to learn how to be a princess in our life like Sara. So long as we try hard, we can do as well as Sara. When Sara in《A Little Princess》wore thick bottom shoes with her feet wet, walking in the street of London, she still believed herself a princess. So, we can always believe ourselves princesses and behave like a princess, being nice, helpful, thankful, and graceful. Remember, Every girl can be a princess!
