The rich and beautiful Mrs. Escobar became the real «Fairy Godmother» to her acquaintance’s two daughters. She took in the girls after they were orphaned and penniless.

Ruth, the eldest of the sisters, according to Mrs. Escobar, repaid the benefactress with ingratitude. The girl married a young man who could give her neither money nor position.

Mrs. Escobar visits Ruth with her younger sister Susan. Ruth’s young son is very cranky and prevents «The Fairy Godmother» from reading him a book.

At home, Mrs. Escobar asks Susan to talk to her sister about the child’s inappropriate behavior. The girl tries to argue with the benefactress.

Then the «Enchantress Godmother» praises the young man, whom Susan likes, but feels sympathy for Mrs. Escobar. Having aroused the girl’s jealousy and resentment, she feels avenged.
