She soon meetsMiss Minchin, the headmistress of the school, who dislikes Sara from the start, but tries to flatter her because of her father's money.
On Sara's eleventh birthday, she receives a doll from her papa, naming it as "Last doll" as she will soon be too grown up for dolls. On the very same day, Miss Minchin receives a letter stating that Sara's father died after his friend ran away with all his money. She cruelly tells Sara that from now on she will have to work as a servant to the rest of the girls.
Meanwhile, a man from India comes to stay in the house next to the school, in search of his friend's daughter, not knowing that girl is Sara. He happens to see the condition of Sara's room and decides to make her life better by presenting gifts and surprises. Sara, who is very thankful to the "mysterious friend", cannot figure out who the "friend" is. In the end, she learns of her benefactor, and proves, by her behavior in a series of trying situations, that a being a princess is not about money or position, but about character.
