What did Maddie think about that night after she found out that Wanda had left?
Maddie could not sleep that night. She thought about Wanda, her faded blue dress and the little house she had lived in. Suddenly, her mind was struck by the glowing picture of those hundred dresses, all lined up in the classroom. Finally, she sat up in bed and ruminated hard on her conduct. She concluded that if she ever heard anybody hurting somebody’s feelings pointing out their funny look or names, she won’t keep quiet. She would never let anybody become that unhappy again.
