Disappointing Gift

Have you ever received a gift that, in spite of its alluring presentation, disappointed you? The "outside" was beautiful but the "inside" was not what you had hoped for. It happens with people as well. You meet someone who is cheerful and funny in public, but dull and withdrawn in private. Another can be kind and sweet with acquaintances but rude and/or careless with their dear ones. The appearance deceives, says the proverb and - quite often - so it is. Just like some fruit that may appear perfect when you "look" at it, but which may also be totally "blah" when you venture to eat it.
