A Little Princess
This is a cozy amazing story, full of wisdom and joyful words, overall my pleasure was too intense, I have experienced contrary emotions; excitement, depression, sadness and happiness, I was impressed by the enduring suspense till the last page of the book.
When I told my aunt about the details of the book that I was reading and how I was enjoying it tremendously, especially Sara' cleverness and her spunky personality against all of the unbearable conditions she passed through; I was surprised because she told me that she already knew the story and it was the same cartoon serie named Sally ; I felt like I'm the only person who didn't explore this story yet, but fortunately I had the chance to read the original version of that book . Cheer up!

Sara Crewe or the little princess as she liked to call herself is an Indian rich girl, she has some special traits; she is queer, patient, dreamer and a mature girl !. Her life turned upside down , she became poor and miserable orphan overnight; she lost all of her fortune after the death of her father.
Miss Minchin found herself bound to look after Sara because she has no relatives to take this responsibility, but she was really tough with the little girl.
Sara was obligated to change her comfortable warm room to move to a lame attic, In addition she looked shabby in her new frocks, and she seemed pale and weak.
Despite of the bad conditions she ought to deal with, she kept optimistic and very collaborator with Miss Minchin to teach the girls, and she willingly and perfectly did various errands.
Happily,everything had changed after the arrival of the indian gentleman, I won't mention more details; story is worth reading exploring by yourself.
Sara is a real princess, her crown made of her kindness and her good attributes. Do people like her really exists in our world? , if the answer is yes ( I believe so), they deserve to be proud of , we should cherish them and keep them close because they are the seed of the kindness or rather the goodness itself.
The book rejoices my spirit and amuses me as well and wakes the child side inside my heart. What struck me the most about this story is the ability of its writer to make it sounds too real and touching although it contains imagining facts.
The story also teachs us many lessons like:
💎How to be extra patient to live in such dreary world.
💎Your good manners and disciplines are your real fortune and your richness means nothing beside your bad behavior.
💎Your sadness and misfortune won't last forever; your sunrise is on her way to bright your life.
💎Any Adversity you pass through grants you more power and persistence to overcome your bad circumstances and to attain your aspires.
💎Eventually, life rewards those who keep believing in themselves and who count the Almighty's graces for them instead of complaining about their misery.
💎Last but not least, reading good books is the best ritual to break the boredom.
Finally, I recommend the book for young people and adults alike.

“When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wish they hadn't said afterward. There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in--that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies.”
“If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that—warm things, kind things, sweet things—help and comfort and laughter—and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.”
“I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses.”
“When people are insulting you, there is nothing so good for them as not to say a word -- just to look at them and think. When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wished they hadn't said afterward. There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in -- that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies.”
“The truth is that when one is still a child-or even if one is grown up- and has been well fed, and has slept long and softly and warm; when one has gone to sleep in the midst of a fairy story, and has wakened to find it real, one cannot be unhappy or even look as if one were; and one could not, if one tried, keep a glow of joy out of one's eyes.”
