Sophie, the little flutist girl

Sophie was a girl with a great imagination. In her school, she had read the story “The Pied Piper of Hamelin”, in which an extravagant flutist had taken all the mice out of a town at the request of a despotic mayor, who after finishing the flute's work, did not pay him what was agreed. For this reason , the flutist enchanted all the children of the town and he made them march up into a mountain.

The neighbors of Sophie bothered on the weekends nights with very loud music, so one night, she played her recorder and went to the front of the house of the noisy neighbors. She, remembering the story of the flutist, she played it with the highest note, a sound so sharp that all the neighborhood dogs went out to bark and howl. The howls were so loud that all the neighbors stopped in front of the house demanding that they remove the music and they called the police.

That's how Sophie became the flutist of Hammond Street and everyone was able to sleep peacefully on Saturday nights.
