Chapter 9 — “The New Clothes Fail” The sewing society’s gift seems like a small miracle — new clothes for a poor little boy — but when he appears, they only show how hard his life has been. Shame and disappointment follow, until quiet kindness — a wash at the wading hole and a kind gentleman’s intervention — give him a whole new start. It’s a bittersweet, hopeful chapter about how good intentions meet reality, and how simple care can change a life... Join us as we explore Dorothy Canfield Fisher's delightful, classic 1916 children's story about a sensitive 9-year-old orphan girl's tale of transformation!
