SOPHIA'S FLUTE

Sophia was a beautiful girl who had many good qualities, but had started to lack respect for others. When her Aunt Ella, gave her a flute for her birthday, she was a nightmare. It didn't matter to her if everyone asked her to play the flute or not. Sophia went round the school playing her flute.
Her classmates stopped wanting to play with her. They suffered so much from her noisy flute that even Jude, the most intelligent student, invented some special earplugs which allowed you to hear normal sounds, but blocked out the annoying ones. On seeing that the others were ignoring her, and not even being annoyed any more, Sophia got into a big fight, Jude broke his right hand and was in serious pains.
Sophia started to realise just how much she had annoyed everyone with her flute. Determined to rectify the situation, and so everyone would eventually see she was becoming the best-behaved girl, she went to Jude's house and asked for forgiveness. Jude forgave her and they became friends. She apologized to her classmates and they forgave her and everything went back to normal. Sophia never played her flutes anymore unless it was necessary.
