                    Summary
                    The lesson begins with a letter received from Wanda’s father informing the school about
                    their moving to a big city where nobody would tease Wanda for her funny name as well her
                    appearance. After getting familiar with the content of the letter through the teacher the
                    whole class got stunned and realized their derogatory remarks and attitude towards Wanda.
                    Maddie felt so bad that she couldn’t concentrate on her studies after knowing the facts. She
                    wanted to meet Wanda in person to clarify her stand that she never meant to hurt her
                    feelings.
                    When the school was over Maddie and Peggy both went to the residence of Wanda at
                    Boggins Height to meet her but by that time they had already left so their visit was fruitless.
                    Then they wrote a friendly letter to Wanda telling her she had won the contest but Wanda
                    did not respond. On Christmas Miss Mason their teacher received a letter from Wanda
                    informing that she was no more in need of those hundred dresses as she had new hundred
                    dresses in her new house hence those should be gifted to the girls especially blue one to
                    Maddie and green one to Peggy.
