The Nature Queen

There was once a little girl named Sophia.  She LOVES animals.  She loves everything about them.  How soft they are, how playful they are, and how cute they are.  She loves to go to the forest and play with the baby animals. 

One day after school was out Sophia went to the forest to play with the baby animals.  Like every day she would go to the forest.  Today the birds were chirping loudly and for a minute Sophia could hear the animals talking to her.  Later on she could barely hear the other animals talking together when she was a fawn.

The next day when she went back she could hear the wind talking to the trees.  For a moment she thought she was crazy.  After she visited all the animals she went straight home to tell her mom. 

“Mom, mom!  The last few days it’s been so weird.  I can hear all the animals and the trees and the wind.  What should I do?” said Sophia.  

“Why do you think I care?” said Sophia’s stepmom. 

  “Never mind,” said Sophia. 

  “Go do your homework!  Bye!”  said Sophia’s stepmom. 

Sophia’s parents died in a bad car crash.  Since then Sophia has a mean stepmother as a mom.  Sophia went to her room to do her homework. 

Her room had only one window.  It was a very gloomy room.  Her mom only gave her a dresser, a bed and a bookshelf.  Sophia loves to read. 

Just then a squirrel appeared in the window and asked her if she had any nuts.  But the funny thing is that Sophia understood him. 

That was so weird thought Sophia.  How can I understand that squirrel?  Can I talk to animals?  No thought Sophia.  I can’t . 

The next day when Sophia went to school there was a surprise.  The class was going to get a new class pet.  When everyone sat in their seats, “Class, our new class pet is a snake.  If you would like to hold him, raise your hand,” said the teacher.  

Sophia’s hand shot up like a rocket.  “Sophia would you like to go first?” asked the teacher.  

“Yes please,” said Sophia. 

When the snake hissed Sophia heard it say, “Hissss would you be a Nature Queen?”  

 Sophia was so shocked.  She asked the class if they heard the snake talk.  They all shook their heads no. 

When she said “sure,” she thought she said it in English.  But she said so the class didn’t understand it.  So they all started to scream.

  

Sophia’s teacher called home and said, “Don’t send Sophia back!” 

Sophia’s stepmom came right over.  When they got home Sophia got punished.  She was not to see the animals for a month.  Sophia went to her room.  Sophia said to herself, “I wish the animals were here.” 

Suddenly the animals appeared and Sophia realized she can talk to animals.  Then Sophia went to tell her mom.

When the animals followed Sophia downstairs, Sophia’s stepmom said, “Sophia, I told you no seeing the animals for a month!”  

“But mom, they just appeared in my room.  It’s not my fault!  And I wanted to tell you I can talk to animals!”  

“Like I’ll ever believe that,” said Sophia’s stepmom.  

“Listen,” said Sophia. 

Sophia spoke to the animals and said something they understood.  “See” said Sophia.  

Sophia’s stepmom said, “Sophia you can’t.  It’s not possible.” 

  “Oh yes it is” said Sophia.  

Now every day she goes to the forest and reads to the animals.  Every day they have a party because of her talent.
