He regarded her as everything to him. Normally, it was hard for rich girls to have good behaviors. But it was not difficult for Sarah.

At the age of seven, her father sent her to a school in London. There, she wore beautiful clothes. She was nice, beautiful, helpful and gentle just like a real princess (公主). Soon, everyone in the school loves her.

But then came bad things. Her father died of a serious disease suddenly. Without her only relative, little Sarah felt very sad. She had to move into a cold, dark and wet house. Her food was cold and bad. What was worse, she was often insulted (辱骂) by others, including the headmaster. In spite of (尽管) these, she still smiled to everyone and never gave up her hope for life. Sarah was confident, brave, helpful and kind-hearted just like before. Later, with the help of her father’s friends, she finally became successful and got happiness again.

I was shocked after I read the book A Little Princess, which was written by an American woman writer named Frances Burnett. Since it came out, the book has moved millions of people. I hope more people will read this book.
