Baby Soap's Dream
Carolyn Pyzynski © May 23, 1994
Once, upon a time there was a baby bar of soap. He told his mommy soap that he didn't like being soap. He didn't like being rubbed around, getting all dirty, or being used to wash the family dog.
Even the twins used him all the time. Mommy soap tried to tell him that the only way to happiness is by doing what he should, like all the other soap. And that if he worked very hard to be good, some day his dream would come true. You see, he wanted to be free and be able to see the world.
It seemed for the longest time everyone used the little bar of soap. He smelled better than the others. As time went by he became really afraid that the people were killing him with all the "dirty work". He became smaller and smaller!
Then one day a wonderful thing happened. Baby soap found that he had turned into a great big beautiful bubble! It was summer and the windows were open. He floated right out of the window and up into the sky.
He was free and his dream did come true. He learned that only by time, with patience and hard work..........A DREAM CAN COME TRUE!
