Main characters 

• Wanda Petronski :- Polish Immigrant 

• Peggy:- American girl 

• Madeline ( Maddie):- American girl 

It was Monday. Wanda Petronski was not in her seat. Nobody including Peggy and Madeline saw her absence. They started all the fun. Wanda used to sit next to the last seat in the last row. It was room 13.

Wanda was a quiet and shy girl. She was a Polish immigrant, who had come to America with her family. She attended school with American children who found her name to be strange in the classroom. This is because they all had easier names. She was poor and was always seen wearing a faded blue dress. Her classmates teased her because she claimed to have a hundred dresses “all lined up” in her closet albeit, always being seen wearing one. The ones who mainly teased her were the two best friends, Peggy and Maddie. Peggy was the most famous girl in school while anyone barely knew Wanda.

Peggy and Maddie used to wait for Wanda before school even if it meant getting late. Maddie, a poor girl herself, did not like it when Peggy made fun of Wanda. She feared that she could be next. She wanted Peggy to stop making fun of Wanda, but could not summon courage to face her as she feared she’d lose her best friend. However, Peggy’s intention was never to hurt Wanda but she was curious as to why Wanda had to lie that she had a hundred dresses in her closet.

One day in their school a drawing and colour contest was organised.  For girls, this contest consisted of designing dresses and for boys,  of designing motorboats.

Next day the class had assembled.  Miss Mason announced the winners of drawing and colour contest. Jack Beggles had won for the boys. And for the girls Wanda was the winner of girls' medal. But Wanda was absent that day. Miss Mason asked the children to look at Wanda's beautiful drawing.

The  children clapped their hands in joy. The boys whistled with fingers in their mouths. 

That contest and the beautiful drawings of the dresses made her classmates regret for making fun of such a creative girl.

सोमवार का दिन था। वांडा पेट्रोन्स्की अपनी सीट पर नहीं थी। पैगी और मैडलिन सहित किसी ने भी उसकी अनुपस्थिति नहीं देखी। उन्होंने सारी मस्ती शुरू कर दी। वांडा आखिरी पंक्ति में आखिरी सीट के बगल में बैठते थे। वह कमरा 13 था।

वांडा एक शांत और शर्मीली लड़की थी। वह एक पोलिश अप्रवासी थी, जो अपने परिवार के साथ अमेरिका आई थी। अब वह अमेरिकी बच्चों के साथ स्कूल में रहती थी।  लेकिन  कक्षा में उसका नाम अजीब था। ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि उन सभी के नाम आसान थे। वह गरीब थी और उसे हमेशा फीकी नीली पोशाक पहने देखा जाता था। उसके सहपाठियों ने उसे चिढ़ाया क्योंकि उसने दावा किया था कि उसकी अलमारी में "सब पंक्तिबद्ध" सौ कपड़े हैं, हालांकि उसे हमेशा एक ही कपडे पहने हुए देखा जाता था। जिन लोगों ने उन्हें मुख्य रूप से चिढ़ाया, वे दो सबसे अच्छे दोस्त थे, पैगी और मैडी। पैगी स्कूल की सबसे मशहूर लड़की थी, जबकि वांडा को शायद ही कोई जानता हो।

पैगी और मैडी स्कूल से पहले वांडा का इंतजार करते थे, भले ही देर होने का मतलब ही क्यों न हो। खुद एक गरीब लड़की मैडी को यह पसंद नहीं आया जब पैगी ने वांडा का मजाक उड़ायी। उसे डर था कि वह अगला शिकार न हो जाए।  वह चाहती थी कि पैगी वांडा का मज़ाक उड़ाना बंद कर दे, लेकिन उसका सामना करने की हिम्मत नहीं जुटा सकी क्योंकि उसे डर था कि वह अपने सबसे अच्छे दोस्त को खो देगी। हालाँकि, पैगी का इरादा वांडा को चोट पहुँचाने का नहीं था, लेकिन वह उत्सुक थी कि वांडा को यह झूठ क्यों बोलना पड़ा कि उसकी अलमारी में सौ कपड़े हैं। एक दिन उनके विद्यालय में एक चित्र और रंग प्रतियोगिता का आयोजन किया गया। लड़कियों के लिए, इस प्रतियोगिता में कपड़े डिजाइन करना और लड़कों के लिए मोटरबोट डिजाइन करना शामिल था।

अगले दिन क्लास इकट्ठी हो गई थी। मिस मेसन ने ड्राइंग और रंग प्रतियोगिता के विजेताओं की घोषणा की। लड़कों के लिए जैक बेगल्स ने जीत हासिल की थी। वहीं लड़कियों के लिए वांडा गर्ल्स मेडल की विजेता रही। लेकिन वांडा उस दिन अनुपस्थित थे। मिस मेसन ने बच्चों से वांडा की खूबसूरत ड्राइंग देखने को कहा। बच्चों ने खुशी से ताली बजाई। लड़कों ने मुंह में उंगलियां डालकर सीटी बजाई।

उस प्रतियोगिता और पोशाकों के सुंदर चित्र ने उसके सहपाठियों को ऐसी रचनात्मक लड़की का मज़ाक उड़ाने के लिए पछताने पर मजबूर कर दिया।
