Carly, a sixteen-year-old girl living with her mother and grandmother, dreamed of the perfect prom dress despite their financial struggles. One morning, her family surprised her with money they had saved for a dress. Overjoyed, Carly set off to find it.

On the bus, she noticed a nervous man, Rick, who pleaded for help to get to his sick daughter but couldn’t afford the fare. Moved by his desperation, Carly chose to give him her dress money to pay his fine.

When she returned home empty-handed, her mother was upset. But her grandmother comforted her, saying she had done the right thing.

On prom night, Carly wore an old dress, feeling out of place among her classmates. Then, Rick appeared with his daughter, Haley, who handed Carly a beautiful gift-wrapped dress. Overwhelmed, Carly changed and finally felt like the princess she had always dreamed of being. She realized that kindness often returns in unexpected ways.
