The next day there was a 1. party at our school and every child in our class would be voting who looked the prettiest. I was very excited.
"Goldy, here is your dress," said my mum Mary. I was surprised to see the dress my mum had made for me. She was a popular designer and she had even made her wedding 2. herself.
Some of her dresses were 3. a lot of money. The dress was made of some golden material with a beautiful 4. collar and long wide sleeves that could 5. in the wind. I tried it on immediately. The collar was a bit 6. because it was 7. but as it could be easily 8. it didn't bother me. I looked like a princess, very 9. , and was
10. to take the dress off.
The next morning my dad Tony gave me a bronze crown to wear. When I reached the school, everyone was looking at my dress and chatting about it. Guess who won most of the votes!
