There was once a fairy who was learning how to be a fairy godmother.She was the kindest and cleverest of all fairies.However，she was also a very ugly fairy.And no matter how friendly she was to others，it seemed that everyone always believed that the most important thing about a fairy was her beauty.In the fairy country，she was always laughed at.Every time she flew off to help a child or anyone else in trouble，before she could say a word they were already shouting，“Ugly! Get out of here！”
Although she was little，her magic was very powerful because she studied very hard in the fairy school.And more than once she had considered using her magic to make herself beautiful.But then she remembered what her mother had always told her，“My dear，you are what you are，so just be yourself.Remember，you are this way for a very special reason.”
Then，one day，the witches of the neighboring land invaded the country，putting all the fairies in prison.The ugly fairy was helped by her ugly face，since the witches believed all fairies were beautiful.So no witches thought she was a fairy.That way she was able to follow the witches back to their home.Once there she used her magic to prepare a big party for everyone.The witches got really excited.They sang and drank.While the party was in full swing，the fairy hurried off and set free all the other fairies.Then they worked together and succeeded in locking the witches inside the mountain for the next hundred years and more，and everyone remembered the great bravery and intelligence of the fairy.From that day on，no one in that land ever saw ugliness as a bad thing，and whenever someone ugly was born，people were filled
with joy，knowing that for that new person great things waited ahead.

When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you？Not someone you knew，but a total stranger？It's happened to me a few times，but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago，I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself，completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery.It wasn't my friend's talks that made me suffer.I was recovering from a broken heart，and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check，the waitress said，“Your meal was already paid for.”My friend and I didn't have a clue how it happened.Then I remembered a man I saw out of the comer of my
eye.He was dressed in mostly white，sat down at the bar，had a beer，and stayed for maybe ten minutes.The waitress said，“Yes，the gentleman in white paid for you.”It felt like an angel was saying，“I see you，honey.It's going to be okay.”
Just last year，I was running a half-marathon.With just 1 mile to go，I was out of gas.Runners call it“hitting the wall”．I thought I couldn't move another inch.Out of nowhere，a stranger came up to me and said，”What's your name，sweetie？Jennifer？Okay，Jennifer，let's go! Come on! It's just around the corner! You can do it！” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace.I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need.Do you have any experiences like these?
