The Nicest Princess: Sarah Crewe

Amongst the cartoons, I've seen, I can consider Sarah; Ang Munting Prinsesa my top favorite. This was created in 1985 and based on the novel of Frances Hodgson Burnett's entitled A Little Princess. It was first aired in the Philippines in 1990's and because of its success, it was turned to a movie and a teleserye as well.



Princess Sarah tells the story of Sarah Crewe, a young daughter of a wealthy English family in India, who starts attending an all-girl's boarding school in London, where she excels in her studies and is loved deeply by many of her friends and classmates. However, tragedy soon strikes when Sarah's father passes away and her family goes bankrupt, leaving her to be a poor orphan. The school's headmistress, Miss Minchin, takes advantage of this situation and makes her a maid in the school, trying hard to make her life as miserable as possible. However, Sarah, with the help of her friends, perseveres and tries to endure all her hardships until redemption comes at last.

I'm just wondering because in the course of the story, I've never noticed if Sarah Crewe commit a mistake. We all know she is nice and kind, however, is she that kind that she didn't commit a mistake to other people? What do you think?
