                                               Summary:This story of main character is Broccolina. 

She is a witch's daughter.  A witch was very mean and ugly.  But she was no better than her mother.  She did not interest in witch-craft.  She was only interested in becoming beautiful.  She wanted to be pretty girl.  One day, her mother set out on a trip with her.  However, she had a quarrel about her's thing.  After a while, she heard like a swarm of beens sound overhead.  It was a lovely angel.  She was astonished.  She asked angel to be beautiful better.  She thought that my mother has a formula in her magic book and it can make use of me.  However, she could not find it.  She was in very low spirits.  However, she did not give up.  She thought about her beauty all the time.  When her mother's grey cat, her mother's black craw, the goat and cow came her, she thought of how to become pretty all the time.  When she looked the mirror, she noticed that her face become uglier than ever and her voice became noarse like a croak.  She got angry.  She said on angel, "you horrible angel."  Angel listened to her things with kindness.  Angel said, "If you love and care for others, bekind and patient and do only good deeds, then you will look pretty." She did with kindness for the everyone.  Little by little, she become pretty, like the angel.  She was loved by all.

Comment:I thought that she was so sad at first.  It is because, she was worried about her's face.  She thought about her's face everyday.  She wanted to be pretty face more.  Angel said, "If you love and care for others, bekind and patient and do only good deeds, then you will look pretty."  She became a pretty girl.
I wanted to be a pretty girl like her.  I will do and like to be a pretty girl in the future.  People can change in life by power of oneself.  So, I will stick it out.
