The night before the big ball, the father scolds his daughter for sleeping so late. He tells her to get dressed quickly because the ball is coming up and she has to listen to her mother. The mother scolds her daughter for being dressed like a "western style" girl. She tells her that everyone will laugh at her since she is dressed like that. The car arrives and the mother tells her daughter that she has broken her hand. The girl says that she did not break her hand, but that her mother tried to hit her. She says that her hand hurts so much that she can't bear to wait for the ball to end.
