The story of Sophie

Anne-Greete Kenppi, Birgit Lehtmaa

There once lived a dog named Sophie. She didn't have a home and she lived on the streets. She was very unhappy, lonely and didn't have friends. Most of the days she wandered around the streets trying to find food.

One day the dog wanted to get some food, so she walked to the forest. When Sophie had walked for a very long time, she realized that she was lost. The dog started panicking. It was getting dark very fast, she started crying and running.

While Sophie was running, she met a wolf named Becky. Becky was big, had white and gray fur and looked scary. When Becky saw her, she was in shock, because she had never seen a dog before. Becky walked up to Sophie and asked what she was and why she was in her area. Sophie told her the whole story and it turned out that Becky was lonely too. The wolf promised to lead her back to the village.

They decided to stay in the forest for the night. Becky showed Sophie her burrow. It was extremely huge and dark. There was a lot of moss on the ground. The moss made the ground soft and cozy to sleep on. In the morning Becky told Sophie that she was going to get some food. When she came back, she was holding a watermelon in her mouth. Sophie was surprised and asked her where she had got it from. The wolf said that she had visited the village a day before and had taken it from there when everyone was sleeping.

When they finished eating they went on a two-hour walk back to the village. River was flowing, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. They were in a very good mood because they used to be lonely but now they had someone to talk about everything.

When they reached the village, they didn't want to split up but they had to because one lived in the forest and the other one in the village. Sophie was only five months old and it would have been very hard for her to live in the woods. Becky, however, didn't want to live in the village because there were too many people. They said their goodbyes and separated their paths. It was very sad for both of them. They felt as if they were losing their best friend although they had known each other for two days only. Sophie realized that she didn't want to be alone any more and ran after the wolf.

Sophie understood that she could live in the forest if it meant living with her friend forever. They became best friends and they never had to be alone any more. They lived together in the woods and were happy to have each other.
