==================================================

Una historia sobre Wanda, que usaba el mismo vestido descolorido todos los días en la escuela, pero afirmaba tener cien vestidos en casa.

"... para Maddie, ese asunto de preguntarle a Wanda todos los días cuántos vestidos y cuántos sombreros y cuántos de esto y esto otro tenía la estaba molestando. Maddie también era pobre. Por lo general, vestía ropa heredada de alguien. Gracias a Dios, no vivía a la altura de Boggins Heights ni tenía un nombre gracioso."
