The annual Halloween arrived, during which kids dressed in traditional clothes went to neighbors' houses to ask for candy.
Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor.But Allison still thanked her dad and said,"Everyone will love my dress!" Then, she left for neighbors' houses to ask for candy.
On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them."No! Look at your dress! It's ugly!" Anna said. Her friends also laughed."Look at our dresses, especially mine! It's new and beautiful," Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna's dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich.
Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it."You can't come with us!" Anna stressed."We would never hang out with you!" The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street.
Anyway, she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn't need to hangout with Anna or her friends."I'll go just alone,"the little girl said to herself and started walking.
She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan's house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them.And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan's house.
Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison's poor dress.She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson.
