Once upon a time, there was a girl named Sophie. Sophie wore glasses and had many pimples.
Sophie lived in a small town with her parents and her dog Max. She loved reading books.
Every day Sophie's classmates teased her about her glasses and pimples. This made her very sad.
One day, Sophie found a shiny rock in her backyard. It sparkled in the sun.
Sophie decided to take the rock to school. She thought it might make her feel better.
During show-and-tell, Sophie showed her classmates the shiny rock. They were amazed.
Her classmate Lily said, 'That's beautiful, Sophie! Tell us more about it.'
Sophie smiled for the first time in weeks. She told the class how she found the rock.
After show-and-tell, many classmates said nice things to Sophie about her rock and her story.
'You have a great eye for special things,' said her friend Ben.
From that day, Sophie felt more confident. She started ignoring the teasing about her glasses and pimples.
Sophie realized that true beauty comes from within. She began to sparkle, just like her rock.
