Don’t FORGET - reading broadens your DREAMS!

Long time ago there was a beautiful young girl, Sofia. She lived in Paris in a small house. She was an only child. She felt very lonely, because she didn't have friends and it was the reason why she was always dreaming. 

Sofia thought that her own imaginary world was better than the real world.                                                  She was a dreamer.

 She created her new sister in her dreams. They were best friends. She spent most of  her time with her new sister " Jenny " talking and playing. Sofia was always absent minded. Her Mum noticed that she didn’t play with anybody. She didn’t even leave her bedroom.

Her mum decided to  send her to a club, hoping to find a friend there. Sofia didn't like the idea at first, but eventually she agreed. 

They found a drama club nearby where the children acted out stories.

 The day of the first session arrived. 

Sofia was very excited.

But she was also very scared. Her only friend so far was her imaginary older sister, Jenny. 

To calm herself, she closed her eyes and imagined them jumping above the clouds with Jenny. 

Jumping on the clouds was so much fun!

But as she was entering the Drama School, she saw a frightened shy little girl sitting in a corner. She went to her and learnt that her name was Holly and it was her first time there, too. Soon, Sofia and Holly became friends.

Sofia told her dreams about having a sister. Holly liked her dreams and decided to be like sisters with Sofia. They shared each others' important things and books. 

 They spent most of the time together. She wanted to invite her home and meet with her mum. 

Sofia’s mum prepared delicious meals for them and was happy for her daughter.Sofia helped her mother to prepare the meals. Sofia decorated her house and room because she had a very special guest for dinner. She wore her best clothes. 

It was autumn and leaves were falling from the trees. Sofia was looking out the window. She saw Holly coming through the window and flew into the air with joy. Holly was on her way to Sophia's house on her bike when suddenly a dog started chasing her.  

Unfortunately, an accident happened. She fell off her bike. She was seriously injured. She broke her arm.She was taken to hospital. She fainted in the ambulance car. She was dreaming about her dinner with Sophia and her family.

Poor kid! She needed a surgery….When Sofia went to the hospital, her parents gave blood for her friend. Their rare blood type matched that of Holly’s!!! Then the doctors informed them that Holly was their lost child, the twin sister of Sofia!!!As soon as she left the operating room, Holly learned that they were in fact sisters with Sofia and not just in their dreams.

When she got well and left the hospital, she finally went to Sofia’s house to eat the nice meal that her mum had prepared. Her parents had gone with her.
