Did Wanda have a hundred dresses? Why do you think she said she did?
Wanda was teased everyday by her classmates after the school hours. They used to make fun of her dress and her name too. One day tired of all these teasing and taunting, she claimed of having a hundred dresses and having sixty pairs of shoes, but none of them believed her. She was a determined girl and had a great amount of self-confidence. For her, so many dresses were not important but the inner talent was important which had the real value.
