Answer:
Wanda was a poor girl who always wore a faded blue dress which was never ironed properly.
Explanation:
Drawing & colouring contest: Maddie began to wonder who was going to win the drawing and colouring contest. For girls, this contest consisted of designing dresses. Peggy was the favourite as she drew better than anyone else in the room. Everybody thought that Peggy would win the prize. The next day, when they entered the classroom, they found there were drawings all over the room. There must have been a hundred of them. They were all lined up. Miss Mason announced the winners. She told them that one girl drew one hundred &tops—all different and in beautiful colours. She declared that Wanda Petronski was the winners of the girl’s medal. Wanda had been absent from school for some days and was not there to receive the prize. Miss Mason asked the children to file around the room quietly and look at Wanda’s beautiful drawings. Peggy and Maddie noticed that particularly two blue and green dresses which Wanda used to talk about were displayed there.
