प्रश्न
Did Wanda have a hundred dresses? Why do you think she said she did?
उत्तर
No, she did not have a hundred dresses because she was poor and wore the same faded dress to school everyday. Probably, it was a child’s fantasy to possess a hundred dresses—a child who had only one dress to wear for school. The other children used to make fun of her poverty, and would have laughed at her whatever she might have said. This could have been the reason for her exaggerating everything.
