I read about a girl. It did not show her name in the story. Her mother got her new under-garments and a new dress with socks for the baptism party dance but her mother could not get her new shoes so her mother told her that she had to wear her old school shoes that were brown and white and very scuffed. When she went to the dance she hid her feet under the table so that no one could see her old shoes. Her uncle said "lets show them the new dance we learned." and she said "but my shoes are ugly and everyone will laugh at me." and he picked her up and said "you will be fine." and so she said "okay." Then they danced the way he told her to and after the music stopped all she heard was clapping.


I liked this story because it had a happy ending and everyone was happy.
