Silly Sophie's Emerald Mistake
*Teag**Teag**Teag**Teag**Teag*


It was Silly Sophie’s turn to host the monthly Garden Tea Party for her long-time friends. Each of the three women rotate in these fun get-togethers.



Sophie wanted to do something different, so she decided to try making Emerald Tea. She thought the green brew would complement the stunning ornamental foliage of her garden. Sophie worked hard to plan the stone walkway, the gentle flowing rock waterfall at the koi pond, and the pretty, earthy-toned tile table that nestled in the center of the floral greenery. Now it was her chance to really make an impression with a tasty tea.



What was in that recipe? Ah, she thought to herself. I remember it called for mushroom and something else. Could it be a type of Jewelry? An emerald, perhaps, to make the green sparkle?



Sophie quickly made the tea, carefully adding in the mushrooms and emerald-colored costume jewelry. Everything looked perfect when her friends sat down.



“This all looks so beautiful! I feel like I am having tea in a rainforest,” Belle remarked.



Just then, Sophie took a drink of the Verdant beverage, almost choking on a mouthful of little green stones.



“Pffff!” Sophie spit out the rocky liquid in an unladylike way. She grabbed her friends' hands and ran with them out to her car!



“Now we need to go to the Rainforest Café, since you mentioned it, or it will be bad luck!”



Crisis averted!
