Sophie's Perfume

by Amy B. Pinto

Overview

Sophie was a little girl who loved to look at her mommy's perfume bottles. Each bottle was different-unique and beautiful in its' own way. She especially loved the round bottle with the little glass top that was filled with golden perfume. Mommy always warned her that she was not to touch "big ladies'" things.

Sophie wanted so much to obey her mother, but wouldn't it be nice if she could smell pretty like her sister? Maybe Avery, a little boy in her class would want to take her to the theater, like Daddy takes Mommy. Well, one day, Sophie tried so very hard to listen to her mother, but........

before her mind could know what her hands were doing....
before her eyes could see what her mind was thinking,

Sophie took Mommy's perfume to school one day and the Morning Glory School will never be the same!

Chapter One

Sophie stood in front of her mother's dressing table. She was looking at her mother's perfume. Sophie knew she was not supposed to touch "big ladies' stuff."

That's what Mommy always said: "Don't touch my things, Sophie. They are for big ladies." Sophie stared at the shiny bottle. It had a tiny glass top. It was filled with golden perfume. She wanted so much not to touch it, but before her mind could know what her hands were doing, before her eyes could see what her mind was thinking ...

Sophie picked up the golden glass bottle with the tiny cap and slipped it into her dress pocket.

Sophie was very quiet that morning as she walked to school. "Why are you so quiet, Sophie?" Mommy asked.

"No reason," replied Sophie. She put her hand in her pocket and rubbed her fingers along the smooth glass.

When Mommy left Sophie at the Morning Glory School, Sophie stood in line very straight and tall.

"Your posture is very good today," said Miss Kelly, Sophie's teacher.

Sophie wanted to be a good girl. She decided to earn a star from her teacher. (That's what good children got from Miss Kelly—stars.)
