This story is by Toni Tevan.

D

B

Books at the library and take them home and read them and then bring them back, so other kids can enjoy them and.

D

This is one of them that we have here at the library what.

F

To do what to do by Toni, teethin.

D

Old Sophie lived alone. Her days were long and lonely. She talked.

C

To her cow, she talked to her cabbages. She talked to her pots, her pants, her flowers and her.

D

Furniture but of course she got no answer.

F

Every day Sophie put on her bright orange hat anter sha with the floppy fringe and went to the well for water. One morning she saw birds nearby, oh nice, birdies, sweet, birdies called Sophie and they seemed to call back nice. Lady, sweet lady and Sophie was delighted. All aflutter she ran to the cottage. Oh I will feed the deers. She said: Sophie baked bread as sweetest cake and as golden as the Setting Sun. She scattered crumbs all over around and waited the birds came flocking. Oh nice, lady, sweet lady, they twittered and tweeted.

F

They perched on Sophie, shoulder and ate from her hand and.

D

Sophie loved it Sophie.

F

Baked more bread, the birds called their friends and they came flocking. They sat on Sophie's hat and squeezed onto her shoulders and they picked and picked and gobbled up. Every crumb.

D

Soon, birds from.

F

All over knew the old woman who wore the bright orange hat and the shawl with the floppy fringe. But there was.

G

No more nice lady sweet lady, they filled.

F

The trees and lined the fence screeching, they sat on the porch and pasted the roof squawking they crowded the poor, Sophie and snatched and grabbed and curled over every morsel, Sophie scolded them gently. Now now, no.

D

F

No scratching no shoving and the birds paid no attention, they filled the air with flapping wings and caws and hoots it was noisy and there was never enough bread.

F

Sophie tried to keep the peace she baked more and more filling the air with a wonderful aroma. It floated over the countryside all the way to the village, the people sniffed the air and smiled who can be making such sweet-smelling bread. They asked one another.

G

Back at the cottage sophie.

F

Had no smile well, she what she had was flour on her shoes, flour on the floor and flour on her elbows. She was weary of kneading and baking. Kneading.

G

And baking, but the greedy birds demanded more screeching.

F

And squawking and con hooting what to do what to do? Oh, please birdies. She pleaded no pestering, please birdies. She begged no shouting the birds paid, no attention.

F

They followed Sophie everywhere they followed when she went to milk, a cow and turned her garden, and they followed when she went to the village for more flour. What to do what to do said. Sophie worried.

C

Every step of the way.

F

When the people saw Sophie with her large sack of flour, one of them asked do you bake the bread that fills the air with such sweet? Smells? uh Yes, replied. Sophie, I, baked.

H

Bread for the birds Oh, would you bake bread for us to ask the.

F

Child and Sophie looked up the bird circled, impatiently overhead. Oh so sorry said: Sophie I can hardly keep up with the birds and she hurried on her way and.

D

The birds followed too, what.

F

To do what to do shortly, sophie saw wagon coming down the road with a sign that read too many problems. Don't know what to do asked.

G

Velma seer sage and confidential adviser, leaning from the wagon, was Velma herself ooh. Tell me your fortune, good mother. She crooned solve your problems. Step right in oh I, think I will sits. Fee Velma got right down to business. What ails you dearie warts, corns nasty bee sting no said.

H

Sophie, a lazy husband, a naughty child, no said.

G

Sophie, well, what then demanded Velma I haven't got all day. Poor Sophie's words came out in a tumble, Burns.

F

H

F

And shoe squeak and squawk what to do.

G

Velma made no sense of it, but it didn't matter Oh a.

H

Terrible problem said Velma.

G

Lucky for you, I am a bird expert to herself. She thought I know a cuckoo when I see one I.

H

G

Consult the crystal she said, importantly: peering into the glass ball. Aha, the.

H

Crystal says, I need all your gold.

G

But I have no gold said Sophie. hmm Then it says I need all your silver said. Velma, but I have no silver said Sophie well, Velma was in a hurry and she banged on the table. Well, what do you have? She snapped? Sophie looked at Velma. She did not see a seer, she did not see a sage and she did not see a confidential advisor. What she saw was a greedy lady and just like those birds thought Sophie right. Then Sophie knew what to do well said. Sophie I have.

F

A beautiful orange.

H

Hat and my shawl with the fine floppy fringe, it will.

G

Have to do Velma, snarled and just for show she said a quick hocus, pocus and a hasty Alakazam and just for show Sophie listened, then Velma, hustled, Sophie out of the door, snatched the hat and shawl she climbed on her wagon gave.

F

Her mule a whack and rode at a site with her hat and fringe flapping.

D

And the birds followed and Sophie is now very happy.

G

F

Soon, as Sophie heard, the last car and hooped she picked up her sack of flour and hurried home, she went right to baking. She made pies and cookies and tarts and sweet rolls and, of course, her wonderful golden bread. Sophie hung a sign in the village all.

G

Welcome for baked goods, Mondays and Fridays on me other days stop by and visit, but bring your own bread.

E

How do you do is were.

G

Asked and told tea was served and bread was sold. Friends were made as good as gold and Sophie was never.

D

Lonely again the end she figured out what to do. Didn't she one of my favorite stories. Those birds were not nice, were they well actually have a song? That's called five or two little blackbirds sitting on a hill. Two blackbirds like this, with your thumbs up and then you're gonna bring out your pinkie like this, like they're flying in the air, but we're gonna have nice black birds in this. In this song, two.

B

Little blackbirds sitting on a hill one named Jack and the other named Jill fly away. Jack fly away, Jill come back, Jack come back, Jill good. Let's do that again: easy right: okay, sitting on a hill and they're flying with your pinky and thumb out, two little blackbirds sitting on a hill one named Jack and the other named Jill fly away. Jack fly away, Jill come back, Jack, come back, Jill, wonderful, great.

D

And you know Lola and Charlie right, they have their own show. I have.

F

This little sister Lola, she is small and very funny, sometimes I,.

G

Have to keep an eye on her, sometimes mom and dad asked me to give Lola her dinner. This is very difficult because she is a very.

C

Fussy, eater Lola won't eat carrots. Of course she says carrots are for rabbits, I say what about peas. Lola says: peas,.

D

Are too small and too green and one day, I played a good trick on her Lola.

G

Was sitting at the table waiting.

C

For her dinner and she said, I do not want to eat, peas or carrots or potatoes. Mushrooms are spaghetti, eggs or sausages. I do not want to eat, cauliflower, cabbage, baked beans, bananas, oranges and I'm, not fond of apples or rice or cheese or fish sticks and absolutely not ever eat a tomato. My sister hates Tomatoes and I said that is lucky because we are not having any of those things. We are not going to eat any peas or carrots or potatoes or mushrooms or spaghetti or eggs or sausages.

C

There will be no cauliflower cabbage or baked beans or bananas or oranges, and we don't have any apples or rice or cheese or fish sticks, and certainly no tomatoes Lola looked at the table, then why are these carrots here? Charlie I, don't ever eat carrots and.

G

I said: oh, you think these are carrots. These are not carrots. These are orange twiglets from.

C

Jupiter, well, they look just like carrots to me said Lola, but how can they be carrots? I, said carrots don't grow on Jupiter? That's.

F

True said, Lola well, I might just try one if they're all the way from Jupiter. Oh.

D

Not bad, she said and she took another bite.

G

Then Lola saw some Peas I, don't eat. Peas, said Lola I.

C

Said these are not peas. Of course they are not. These are green, drops from Greenland they're made out of green and fall from the sky, but I don't meet green things. Lola said oh goody, I said I'll have your share. Green drops are so incredibly rare.

D

Well, maybe I'll nibble, just one or two: oh, oh, she said quite tasty.

D

Next Lola saw the potato. I will not eat potato, so don't even try not even mashed. Oh.

G

This isn't mashed potato Lola people often think so, but no this is cloud fluff from the.

C

Pointiest peak.

G

C

Me I love to eat cloud, charlie.

G

She said those look like fish sticks to me and I.

C

Would never eat a fish. Stick I.

G

D

mmm Can I have more please and.

G

Then she said Charlie will you pass me? One of those and I said what one of those and.

C

Lola said yes Charlie, one of those and I couldn't believe my eyes, because guess what she was pointing at the tomatoes and I said. Are you sure.

H

Really one of these and.

C

She said yes, of course, moon quarters are my favorite.

C

You didn't think they were tomatoes. Did you Charlie.

D
