00:26Sophie squash by Pat Zietlow Miller and Ann Wilsdorf
00:32You
00:35One bright fall day
00:37Sophie chose a squash at the farmer's market
00:40Her parents planned to serve it for supper, but Sophie had other ideas
00:49It was just the right size to hold in her arms
00:57Just the right size to bounce on her knee
01:03You
01:04Just the right size to love. I'm glad we met Sophie whispered good friends are hard to find
01:16At home Sophie used markers to give her squash a face
01:21Then she wrapped it in a blanket and rocked it to sleep
01:25You
01:29When it was time to make supper Sophie's mother looked at the squash
01:34She looked at Sophie. I
01:36Call her Bernice Sophie said
01:39I'll call for pizza said her mother
01:47After that Bernice went everywhere with Sophie to story time at the library
01:54To visit other squash at the farmer's market
02:00And to practice somersaults by the garden
02:08Every night Sophie gave Bernice a bottle a hug and a kiss
02:13Well, we did hope she'd love vegetables
02:16Sophie's mother told her father
02:19Shh Sophie said Bernice is sleeping
02:24You
02:26Sweet pea Sophie's mother said one morning as they made blueberry waffles
02:31Bernice is a squash not a friend if we do not eat her soon. She'll get mushy and gross
02:39Let's bake her with marshmallows
02:41Won't that taste yummy?
02:43Don't listen Bernice Sophie cried
02:47You
02:49That afternoon Sophie's father took her shopping
02:53Sugarbeet he said Bernice is a squash. Why don't you pick a nice toy to play with instead?
03:01But the trucks were too hard and the dolls were too soft
03:09Sophie clutched Bernice tightly. No, thanks. She said I have everything I need
03:17You
03:18After supper Sophie's parents called a family meeting
03:22Bernice snapped in Sophie's lap
03:25Why don't we donate Bernice to the food pantry before she rots her father suggested?
03:31Sophie shook her head
03:33Bernice will last forever
03:39Bernice seems a little blotchy said Sophie's dad on the way to the library one day
03:45She looks perfect to me Sophie replied
03:52At storytime some kids pointed and stared
03:56What's that spotty thing a boy asked her name is Bernice, and she's a squash
04:03Sophie said with freckles
04:08Maybe Bernice should stay home next time Sophie's mom suggested
04:13Why Sophie asked she wasn't the one being rude
04:22Still as winter neared Sophie noticed changes
04:27Bernice seemed softer and her somersaults lacked their usual style
04:33Visiting friends will cheer you up Sophie said
04:36You
04:40At the farmers market squash were everywhere firm shiny squash
04:47What keeps a squash healthy Sophie asked a farmer?
04:51It's simple really he said fresh air good clean dirt a little love
04:57Well thought Sophie I have all that
05:02You
05:04At home Sophie cleared leaves from Bernice's favorite spot
05:09She made a bed of soft soil tucked Bernice in and kissed her good night
05:14Get better soon she whispered
05:21That night while Sophie slept the wind whistled and tiny snowflakes fell
05:26You
05:30When she awoke the world was covered in white
05:34Do you think Bernice is cold out there Sophie asked her mother?
05:39I'm sure she's warm and cozy under her snow blanket her mother replied
05:48Sophie gazed out the window all morning
05:51You
05:55She was still there in the afternoon when her father came home with a surprise you need a new friend he said
06:06Meet ace
06:10Ace was nice, but boring he just swam around and around in his bowl
06:16You
06:20But during the long winter
06:23Sophie discovered that ace was a superb silent reader who did fabulous flip turns
06:28And he always listened politely when she talked about Bernice
06:33Bernice was great at keeping secrets
06:40When the snow finally melted
06:43Sophie rushed to the garden the only thing there was a small green sprout it looked strangely familiar
06:52Bernice Sophie said how was your winter?
07:00After that Sophie ace and Bernice ate lunch together every day
07:05You
07:09One bright summer morning Sophie somersaulted across her yard
07:16Landed by the garden and stared in disbelief
07:24Bernice had grown two tiny squash Wow Sophie told them you look just like your mom
07:35You
