The dress in the window

the long version

The first day of December starts out like any other day until Audrey-Ann passes by the Kids Emporium on her walk to school. There, in the store window, is the most beautiful dress she's ever laid eyes on. The second she sees it, Audrey-Ann imagines herself wearing it to the Christmas celebration, the biggest event of the school year. When Audrey-Ann's mother reminds her that she already has a perfectly lovely dress, she suggests Audrey-Ann spend the money she earned raking leaves. Now Audrey-Ann has a decision to make: Should she use the money to buy the dress? Or should she use it to purchase the craft supplies she need for making her family's Christmas gifts?
