Sophie Has A Brainwave - 6

     When Leyenda did what was right, everyone was happy.  When she cleaned the paving stones outside their house, so that no moss was on them, nobody slipped over.  When she fixed the hem of her sister's dress, Lucinda could wear it to a party.  When she powerwashed the house, Daddy didn't have to work so hard. 
     You may wonder, did she ever do kind things for herself, because we must be kind to ourselves too, children.  No, she wasn't very kind to herself.  But she tried.  She put hand cream on her hands when they were sore.  That's a kind thing.  Other than that she wasn't very kind to herself.  Know what I mean?
     So we will try to see what we can do to make her kind to herself in the story, because that would be a good ending to the story, don't you think?

     Tuppletime was the next child.  He was a good boy, always doing what was right you think.  No, he was a funny boy, but a good boy.
