I read The Girl Without Hands from Grimms' Fairy Tales.

First, the miller traded his daughter's happiness for wealth because he was greedy, and it ended up hurting his family. This reminds me that chasing quick rewards can harm the people closest to us. I learned that we should stay calm in the face of temptation and not sacrifice long-term happiness for short-term gain.

Second, the miller’s daughter didn’t complain or give up on herself, even in hard times. Her faith and strength helped her overcome the devil. This shows me that when we face challenges, keeping faith and believing in ourselves can lead us to a solution.

Then, the father hurt his daughter because he was afraid, but the daughter still forgave him. This taught me that family relationships need forgiveness. Everyone makes mistakes, and understanding and forgiving each other makes family bonds stronger.

Finally, the king searched for his wife and child for seven years and finally reunited with them. This shows the importance of loyalty and persistence. When facing hardships, we shouldn’t give up easily—sometimes it takes time and effort.

In conclusion, this story taught me to be cautious with temptations, to stay strong in difficulties, to be forgiving with family, and to never give up on the ones we love.
