theme "pride goes before a fall" Mary Lee seemed to have
everything. She was very beautiful with a neat trim figure and an
attractive face. She was very rich. Her clothes were better than
anyone else's and she had more of them. Her books were always
new and expensive as were her pens, school bags and bicycle.
She was very clever too and without appearing to do very much
work, she was always first in all the examinations and always
answered all the questions, while the ret of the class were still
thinking. With all this, or really because of all this, no one liked
Mary Lee. She was too good, too clever and she was also very
proud. No one was quite good enough to talk to her or to be
seen with her or to be her friend. And so, with all her proud ways
and riches and brains, she was lonely but she did not care
because she was always best in everything. As the end of term
drew near, the pupils including Mary Lee began to think about the
most important prize of all. this was the prize, offered by the
principal, for the best essay to be written on one of two subjects.
"I needn't worry about that," thought Mary Lee, as the others
began to read and to think about the essay. "I shall easily win;
after all, my compositions are always better than the rest." 'Pride
goes before a fall,' they say and it certainly did in the case of
poor Mary Lee. 'Happiness' and 'Friendship' were the two subjects
for the essay and Mary Lee knew little about either. As she
scratched her head for ideas and scribbled with her pen, she
realized that she hadn't any friends to speak of and that she was
very far from being happy. She had no idea and so, she did not
win the prize. Ah Chu wrote the best essay and the pupils were
pleased, because he had never really excelled in anything before.
He won lesson. She felt so silly because all her money and her
cleverness seemed nothing compared with not wining the prize. "I
mustn't be too proud or too sure," she thought, "the fall is very
hard, if you have been too arrogant. " She became a much
pleasant person after that and her fellow pupils became her
friends. She still won many prizes, but she never forgot the
valuable lesson that the one prize she lost had taught her.
