About two princesses, twins, indistinguishable from each other. Except that the "beautiful" one doesn't care about her education and the "smart" one doesn't care about her looks. Only the two sisters' efforts to get the same prince as their husband lead them to realize where they were wrong. They then know forever how little beauty means without wisdom and wisdom that despises beauty.
