Clip description

Cherry (Rebecca Smart) tells Mr Edmund (Robert Grubb) of her dream to become a lawyer, to help poor people like her mother and the boarders, but says that her mother gets angry with her for having unreachable dreams. In turn, Mr Edmund tells the children of his dream, to sing in the Sydney Opera House. He also tells Cherry that her mother is wrong, and that if she wants to be a lawyer then she can be one.
