I'm Ugly But My Mirror Shows Me Beautiful | Animated Story about My Grandma's Gift

hi my name is judy and i want to tell you a story that happened to me and my grandmother's mirror you might think that nothing unusual can happen because of one simple mirror but this story really changed my life i have always been a loser among other people and besides i have never considered myself beautiful i was also not popular among boys i was sure that the reason was my acne and crooked nose i honestly thought that the boys liked only girls with clear skin and a cute face this conviction had a great impact on my self-esteem so i tried not to talk to anyone at all i made the exception only for my best friend mia honestly mia's appearance wasn't perfect either and this was one of the reasons why we were friends nevertheless deep down i still dreamed to become more beautiful and popular among my other classmates my grandmother has never understood me she kept saying that inner beauty was much more important than a pretty face she insisted that good people wouldn't care about other people's appearances also my grandmother loved to travel a lot so a couple of weeks ago she decided to make an around-the-world trip before leaving she gave me a large mirror at first i didn't understand why she gave it to me so i put it to the far corner of my room and forgot about it for a while but one day everything changed one morning i woke up and passing by the mirror i stopped abruptly the reflection i saw in the mirror didn't look like me at all my acne had disappeared my nose looked straight and my general appearance was prettier and more beautiful as well i could not believe my eyes i can't believe that this nightmare is over and finally i will be like everyone else i thought but what could have happened why did i become so cute it was a very strange and joyful feeling i had never had before for some time i tried to understand what was happening and where that usual ugly judy had gone but then mia called and told me to bring her book which i had taken the day before her call reminded me that it was time to go to school i was smiling and greeting every passerby all the way to school people answered me back and wished me to have a nice day i was sure that all these changes happened because i became more beautiful so keeping in mind the awareness of this fact i entered the classroom and said hello to everyone loudly my classmates were very surprised but they said hello back the rest of the day at school i answered the teacher's questions i even volunteered to go to the blackboard to answer questions although i haven't done anything like that before because of the fear to draw too much attention to myself but that day everything was different the teachers were surprised at my sudden activity and praised me my classmates were looking at me more often and their glances weren't as negative as before when it was lunchtime the most popular girls of the school called me to their table i was very happy and agreed to join them immediately although usually at lunch mia and i used to sit together at the farthest table when i had already joined the new company mia came up to me why don't we sit together anymore she asked in a whisper i replied that i would explain everything to her later that day i talked with my new friends a lot failed to give even one moment to my old friend mia and didn't even notice that fact i was sure that mia remained in my past where i was insecure and not very pretty but everything changed i made friends with cool and cute girls and mia had to find a new friend who was mousy like she was and so this went on for several days finally i was as cool as everyone else and that made me happy i took no notice of mia at all and when she tried to come up to me i always had better things to do and besides i didn't see the point to talk to her because i had many more cool friends once mia came up to me again after school and handed me a piece of paper i grinned put it in my pocket and left immediately without saying a word i didn't even read the paper i was in a hurry to the summer party organized by my new friends so i didn't have time for mia after arriving home i began to prepare for the party when i got a look at myself in the mirror i saw that my appearance had changed again but this time not for the better my acne my nose my ugly face were back no no it's not possible i said why did the fairy tale end so quickly i was very upset and started to cry while i was sitting on the floor and looking at my ugly reflection in the mirror the piece of paper apparently fell out of my pocket and it caught my eye it was an invitation to a birthday party having opened it and read the contents i understood why mia came up to me today according to the note mia was upset that we had grown apart but despite all this she wanted to see me at her birthday party and she would be very glad if i agreed to come i used to behave terribly and avoided her for a long time did she still want to be friends with me i didn't even congratulate her on her birthday i ignored her and thought she wasn't good enough for me i felt so ashamed that i didn't even care how i looked anymore i started calling mia but she wasn't answering her phone but when a minute later my phone rang i was sure it was her i was wrong it was my new friends they asked when i would come i had nothing to answer and i just hung up i looked at the time and realized that it was not too late to make everything right i ran to the bakery to get a cake i chose the most beautiful cake in the window and i asked them to write forgive me on it as soon as i left the bakery thunder rumbled and it started raining heavily i had no umbrella and no money for a taxi so i had to run to mia's house on foot when i got there i was soaking wet and the cake box was ruined mia's mom opened the door she said that my friend was in her room and it would be better for me to go see her i headed upstairs worrying and being very anxious at the same time i thought mia would chase me away when i entered the room mia was lying on her bed and crying when she saw me she sighed and burst into even more tears i understood the reason for her tears so i asked her forgiveness that evening we had so much to discuss and most importantly i understood how much i missed my true friend by the way mia really liked the cake which was not in very good condition after spending too much time in the rain that evening before going to bed i decided to look in the mirror one more time in my grandmother's mirror my face looked really beautiful i was so glad to see that i became pretty again i was relieved and began to think what it all meant but i was so tired that i just fell asleep thinking about the mystery of the mirror the next morning i went to school i met mia at the entrance and we went inside the school building together on the way to class we saw the cool girls who were my new friends and i decided to introduce mia to them when we got closer i saw my reflection in the glass door accidentally it seemed that i was the same judy with imperfect skin and a crooked nose but the girls still talked with me despite my shortcomings i realized that all this time my appearance remained the same while my attitude towards myself and the people around me changed greatly my new friends liked mia and we all became friends now i realize that it is not necessary to be super beautiful for people to like you the real beauty is inside of each of us a few days later my mother came home and told me something very upsetting my grandmother had died it happened in the ocean her liner wrecked and no one survived that evening i was sad and remembered all the good moments spent with my beloved grandmother she used to always say that she would die during her trip and it happened the last thing she did for me was give me this mirror she knew that she would not return and this was her parting gift i never revealed the secret of the mirror but i knew one thing for sure my grandmother left it to me for a reason and what do you think about this mysterious mirror why can't it change appearance and life so abruptly help me to figure it out and write your ideas in the comments i would be grateful for your likes and subscriptions to my channel bye
