First Flight Lesson-5The Hundred Dresses - Iby El Bsor Ester  The Hundred Dresses Part 1 - IntroductionThe lesson “The Hundred Dresses I” is about a girl named Wanda who claims to have one hundred dresses. Her classmates made fun of her because what she claims is in contradiction to the fact that she was always seen wearing the same dress. Her classmates found her name to be “funny”. It was because everyone had “easier” names than ‘Wanda Petronski’. Her name was different because she was a Polish immigrant who had come to an American town with her family. She was poor and did not have many friends. She was quiet and was always seen sitting in the corner of the classroom. The truth about the hundred dresses unveiled when she submitted her hundred drawings in a drawing contest. They were the same hundred dresses she used to talk about. All of them were immensely beautiful.

In continuation of the previous lesson, “The Hundred Dresses II” reveals why Wanda Petronski had not been coming to school. The Petronski family decided to move to a big city where no one would care about their unfamiliar name. On hearing the note, Maddie and Peggy got anxious as they realised that they would never get a chance for making amends for all the teasing they had done. Both the girls get relieved only on learning that Wanda liked them and had dedicated one of the hundred dresses (drawings) to each one of them.
