Explore "Soffrona and Her Cat Muff" by Mary Martha Sherwood on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Little Soffrona lived with a lady who loved her very much. She was not the lady's own child, but she was as dear to that lady as if she had been so, and the child always called her mamma. The lady had a little girl of her own called Sophia. Sophia was one year older than Soffrona; and Sophia and Soffrona learned lessons together, and played together, and were very happy in each other's company. When you saw Soffrona, you might be sure Sophia was not very far off; and when you saw Sophia, it was very certain that Soffrona was at no great distance.
How delightful it is for little children to live in love and peace one with another! Hear what David says on this subject -- -- "Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm cxxxiii. 1.)
