LESSONS TO LEARN
* Do not use beautiful and handsome faces as criteria for marriage
* True love looks beyond the physical
* Do not love the outward beauty but rather love the inward beauty.
* Ladies , don't allow a man to love you because you are beautiful outwardly and vice versa.
Because even if you didn't experience any accident like Ann in the story above.
Old age will come and your beauty will go.
* Nobody is ugly in this world , we all are wonderfully and beautifully made by God.
