SOPHIA'S FLUTE

Sophia was a cripple, the second and last child of her parents. The villagers always made jest of Sophia which made her family ashamed of her.

When other kids are playing all she does is sit under her favorite tree and play sweet melodies from her flute since she wasn't allowed to associate with other children.

All the villagers were well dressed, going with their families to the village town square for their annual thanksgiving. It was an event not to be missed.

Her parents locked her in the house and went for the thanksgiving.

Sophia found the spare key and decided to sneak out of the house to the town square. On getting to the town square, she was sighted by a little boy who shouted "Sophia the cripple is here", the whole villagers turned and began to laugh.

They pointed fingers at her mother and called her names for giving birth to a cripple, with shame and tears in her eyes she beat Sophia mercilessly in front of the whole villagers and sent her home.

Sophia went home crying, she sat at her usual spot and played from her flute

SOPHIA'S FLUTE WAS HER ONLY FRIEND
