Once upon a time, there was a girl whose name was *Sophie. She was really poor and had no family. One day, she saw a poster which was saying "The Pumpkin Food Contest." If a person got the first place in the contest, there was a prize which was huge money. She thought that this was a good chance for her to buy some food to eat and clothes to wear if she got the money. When she went there, lots of people waited to participate in the contest.
She was a little scared since she was not good at cooking food. While she was being worried about it, the master of the ceremony told everyone that people who took part in the contest needed to get pumpkins on the ground on the spot. And MC continued "Start!" Everybody ran to the pumpkins to choose the best one. She also ran for hers. There were many types of pumpkins. Some were looked very delicious and fresh but some were not. Of course most of the people chose the best ones but Sophie could not. Everybody took their own pumpkin except her. But she saw a pumpkin that seemed fine but there were lots of ants inside the pumpkin. She chose that one anyway. Everybody looked at hers strangely. When she arrived back home, she took a knife and decided to cut it down. Suddenly, the pumpkin got brighter and brighter. She realized that there was crystal clear liquid inside the pumpkin and it smelled something sweet. So that was why lots of ants were there. Anyway She picked the very right one to make pumpkin food.
On the contest day, she showed her pumpkin food that she had made with the sweet and honey-like liquid. The pumpkin dish that she made blew all the judges away since the taste was fantastic and beyond description. They had never eaten that kind of food before. Finally, she got the first place and could buy some food and clothes for herself. She would not forget that day ever and ever.
*Sophie means: Wise, Smart and Cleaver
