Miss Minchin finds out that Sarah Crew's father, Mr.Crew, is dead. he died leaving Sarah in debt with no fortune. Miss Minchin immediately stops the joyous celebration and breaks the news to poor Sarah.
Sarah goes and finds a black dress that is too small for her and puts it on. She is stripped off all her luxuries and her trials and tribulations begin.
Sarah is moved to live in the attic as a new scullery maid with nothing but her doll and about two ragged, old dresses. Her father is now gone, but Sarah remains calm and collective.
While the other girls play, and learn, Sarah is forced to work with not nearly enough to eat. She is all alone with nothing but Becky, Ermengarde, Lottie ( a little girl who she meets when she first arrived) her doll, and a rat for a friend as she is abused by practically everyone!
 |
| While in the attic, Sarah meets a little rat friend. She feeds him crumbs and he gives her company. He soon learns to love and trust her like many others. Sarah calls him Melchisedec. |
 |
| One day she receives a little money and immediately rushes to the bakery for some filling food. The lady is kind and gives her six instead of five rolls. As she leaves, she meets a beggar girl who is starving. " I have enough" she says to herself and she continues to give the beggar five of the six hot, delicious rolls she has. The lady in the show notices this act of kindness and decides to bring in the beggar girl to raise as her own. |
 |
| Sarah wakes up and nice things start to appear. This happens each day and her life soon starts to become pleasant with the new surprises. |
It just so happened that the man who was making Sarah happier each day was an old friend of her dads. He had been searching for her ever since her father had died with no luck of finding her, until he realized who she was. He soon adopted her into his wonderful life. Sarah question was finally answered, she truly was a little princess, and all princesses live happily ever after, including this one.
Ermengarde comes to visit Sarah one day and finally realizes the poor truth; her friend is starving. She just received a huge box of goodies so she bring it up to Sarah and Becky and they have a little party. ( this is my moms favorite part so i hope i didn't screw it up ;) 
A monkey unexpectedly comes to visit her one day. She soon carefully catches him and a strange man from India comes in through the high window to get him. They talk and find out they're from the same place. the man feels bad that this sweet girl has nearly nothing and he makes up a plan.
