 "You can hear people around. But you must have your own opinion. Always." Sophie's mother said.

One day children talked about their old things. Somebody played with them, somebody just admired.

"I like my old dollhouse," Sophie said.

"It's strange! I prefer new toys!" Kate said.

It just seemed strange to that girl. She liked fashionable things.
