He therefore said “If my companion has a bad opinion about me, there must certainly be something wrong with me. I am afraid he must be correct.”
The gentleman observed that beauty was only a God given gift, and it did not follow that a person who had a handsome face had a pure heart as well.
The gentleman was greatly impressed with the character and intelligence of this man. In the meantime, the first man had returned from his bath.
The gentleman sent the second man (i.e. the ugly man to have a bath) and in his absence told the handsome man that his fellow man had given a bad account of him. On hearing this, the man burst into invectives against his companion and said that he was a rascal and a liar.
The gentleman thus came to the conclusion that the man with a beautiful face had no inner worth while the man with an ugly face had much inner worth.
The moral of the story is that beauty is only skin deep. All that glitters is not gold.
“Every man is hidden under his own tongue” The tongue reveals the inner intelligence as well as inner vileness .
“The safety of a man lies in holding his tongue”

The Stanford University in USA was started because of the Harward University’s outward perception of the promoters who indeed were inclined to greate an endowment in the name of their only son who had earlier died in an accident. But, the couple’s outward appearance didn’t impress the concerned gentlemen at Harward and the result, the promised amount was utilized in starting a new University in the western coast.
That’s right!! Some venomous snakes are pretty on the outside, but the poison in them make them more dangerous than the ugly green snakes that do not bite with poisons. It’s amazing how the T.V. commercials dwell on the outside appearance rather than the contents of people’s characters. Huh?? !!!
It us soo true the beauty inside is much nicer than the beauty outside !
True !

Years back Socrates, the greek Philosopher said,” I pray God that I be beautiful within.”

The beautiful people for me guilty of bad personality until they talk and may change the bad idea that I thought that they have or they will make me say for my self ( that what I thought ).
