Peggy believed that Wanda was not smart enough to understand Wanda was poor but she always replied that she had a hundred dresses. Everybody used to laugh at her because they were aware of the fact that she had only one dress. Still she kept on giving the same answer. Wanda described the dresses she said she had.

The important decision that Maddie made was that from now she would never stand by and say nothing again. If she ever heard anybody picking on someone because they were funny-looking or because they had strange names, she would speak up. This time she did not even mind losing Peggy’s friendship over it. She knew she could not make things right with Wanda as she did not even get a chance to say her sorry.
She was unhappy that she could not find Wanda at her home. She could not sleep that night and kept on thinking about Wanda, her faded blue dress, and the little house she lived in. She was feeling guilty of not having said anything when everybody else was teasing Wanda. It was her guilt that made her think very hard and arrive at the important decision.
