Once she had a pain in her bosom; and all day long she had a frown on her face, even when she went out.
Her neighbour, Dong Shi, a well-known ugly girl in the village, thought that Xi Shi looked more beautiful than before, even though she was ill and frowning.
So when she went out, Dong Shi imitated Xi Shi by placing her hands on her bosom and frowning. Unfortunately, to her great disappointment, her frightened neighbours tightly shut their doors and didn’t want to go out to meet her.
She only knew Xi Shi's frown looked beautiful, but she did not know the reason for its beauty.
Moral:Blindly copying others.
