"When I leave," Sophie said, coming home from school, "I m going to have a boutique."
Jansie, linking arms with her along the street; looked doubtful.

"Takes money, Soaf, something like that." "I'll find it," Sophie said, staring far down the
street. "Take you a long time to save that much." "Well I'll be a manager then–yes, of
course– to begin with. Till I've got enough. But anyway, I know just how it's all going to
look."

"They wouldn't make you manager straight off, Soaf." "I'll be like Mary Quant," Sophie said.
"I'll have the most amazing shop this city's ever seen." Jansie, knowing they were both
earmarked for the biscuit factory, became melancholy. She wished Sophie wouldn't say
these things

r
ne
When they reached Sophie's street Jansie said, "It's only a few months away now, Soaf, you
really should be sensible. They don't pay well for shop work, you know that, your dad would

ai
never allow it." "Or an actress. Now there's real money in that. Yes, and I could maybe have
the boutique on the side. Actresses don't work full time, do they? Anyway, that or a fashion
designer, you know – something a bit sophisticated."
Tr
And she turned in through the open street door leaving Jansie standing in the rain. "If ever I
d
come into money I'll buy a boutique." "Huh - if you ever come into money..... if you ever
a

come into money you'll buy us a blessed decent house to live in, thank you very much."

"She thinks money grows on trees, don't she, Dad?' said little Derek, hanging on the back of
his father's chair. Their mother sighed. Sophie watched her back stooped over the sink and
O

wondered at the delicate bow which fastened her apron strings. The delicateseeming bow
and the crooked back. The evening had already blacked in the windows and the small room
F

was steamy from the stove and cluttered with the heavy-breathing man in his vest at the
SO

table and the dirty washing piled up in the corner. Sophie felt a tightening in her throat. She
went to look for her brother Geoff.

He was kneeling on the floor in the next room tinkering with a part of his motorcycle over
some newspaper spread on the carpet. He was three years out of school, an apprentice
mechanic, travelling to his work each day to the far side of the city. He was almost grown up
now, and she suspected areas of his life about which she knew nothing, about which he
never spoke. He said little at all, ever, voluntarily. Words had to be prized out of him like
stones out of the ground. And she was jealous of his silence. When he wasn't speaking it
was as though he was away somewhere, out there in the world in those places she had
never been.

What did Sophie wanted to do after school? Sophie wanted to __________.

A open a boutique or be a fashion designer

B become a shop manager

 C become a boutique owning famous actress

D all of these

Duncan and his magician teacher, Meerfus, were at the market. They went to the market

several times a month, especially for fresh vegetables or ingredients for wands. One never

could tell what would be useful in a wand. Meerfus lingered by some cages of various birds.
pi

He eyed a few chickens critically, and Duncan watched, trying to guess the reasoning
behind Meerfus' interest. "Will we make a wand that helps you fly?" Asked Duncan excitedly.
m

Flying seemed pretty fun, after all. Meerfus raised an eyebrow at him, as if he were crazy.
"I'm thinking about dinner, Duncan."
ly
O

"Oh." Duncan said, crestfallen that it was something as simple as that. Meerfus selected a
chicken in a wicker cage, paid for it, and handed the cage to Duncan to carry. The anxious
F

bird squawked loudly and pecked at his fingers through the cage. Duncan carried it dutifully,
SO

feeling foolish. Next, they stopped by some farmers' tables. Meerfus selected some
cucumbers, a sack of potatoes, which they put in their rolling cart, and some tomatoes on
the vine. "Will those vines help us make a magic wand that tangles up people's feet?"
Duncan inquired. Meerfus eyed his apprentice again. "No, they're for a salad. We need
something to eat with our chicken."

Duncan sighed, wrong again, and trudged alongside his master. They next stopped at a
booth that sold fishing supplies. There were all manners of hooks, lures and fishing
implements. Meerfus seemed particularly interested in the fishing flies, ones that looked
almost like butterflies or mayflies with hidden hooks. "Are we going to make a wand that
helps you catch fish with the those flies?" worried, asked Duncan. He'd already been wrong
twice. Could his intuitions be so wrong? Meerfus laughed. "No, I actually enjoy fishing. I was
thinking about going again in the river down the road."

Duncan groaned in frustration. "How am I so wrong today? I cannot believe you are not
trying to get things for wands! How am I so clueless?" Meerfus laughed, shaking his head.
"You are not as wrong as you think, just distracted. You didn't notice me pick up pheasant
feathers while you handled the chicken. Those are for a wand of slow descent, which helps
people fall without getting hurt. That is something like flying, right?" "And the vegetables?"
Duncan asked suspiciously. "The flowers from cucumber vines are not only pretty, but they
do help in a wand of coloured lights, a wand of plant growth, or a wand of dazzling." "Was
there anything at the fishing booth? There had to be."

Meerfus winked at his student. "What do you think?" Duncan thought hard, trying to
remember what else Meerfus had touched or bought. "Was it the fishing line that you
bought?" "Exactly; it does make for a great wand of fish catching once we get some fish
scales!" Duncan laughed in relief. His instincts were not so wrong - he just had to be more
observant. It was all in the details!

Duncan groaned in frustration. "How am I so wrong today? I cannot believe you are not
trying to get things for wands! How am I so clueless?" Meerfus laughed, shaking his head.
"You are not as wrong as you think, just distracted. You didn't notice me pick up pheasant
feathers while you handled the chicken. Those are for a wand of slow descent, which helps
people fall without getting hurt. That is something like flying, right?" "And the vegetables?"
Duncan asked suspiciously. "The flowers from cucumber vines are not only pretty, but they
do help in a wand of coloured lights, a wand of plant growth, or a wand of dazzling." "Was
there anything at the fishing booth? There had to be."

Meerfus winked at his student. "What do you think?" Duncan thought hard, trying to
remember what else Meerfus had touched or bought. "Was it the fishing line that you
bought?" "Exactly; it does make for a great wand of fish catching once we get some fish
scales!" Duncan laughed in relief. His instincts were not so wrong - he just had to be more
observant. It was all in the details!

Duncan and his magician teacher, Meerfus, were at the market. They went to the market
pi

several times a month, especially for fresh vegetables or ingredients for wands. One never
could tell what would be useful in a wand. Meerfus lingered by some cages of various birds.
m

He eyed a few chickens critically, and Duncan watched, trying to guess the reasoning
behind Meerfus' interest. "Will we make a wand that helps you fly?" Asked Duncan excitedly.
ly

Flying seemed pretty fun, after all. Meerfus raised an eyebrow at him, as if he were crazy.
O

"I'm thinking about dinner, Duncan."

F

"Oh." Duncan said, crestfallen that it was something as simple as that. Meerfus selected a
chicken in a wicker cage, paid for it, and handed the cage to Duncan to carry. The anxious
SO

bird squawked loudly and pecked at his fingers through the cage. Duncan carried it dutifully,
feeling foolish. Next, they stopped by some farmers' tables. Meerfus selected some
cucumbers, a sack of potatoes, which they put in their rolling cart, and some tomatoes on
the vine. "Will those vines help us make a magic wand that tangles up people's feet?"
Duncan inquired. Meerfus eyed his apprentice again. "No, they're for a salad. We need
something to eat with our chicken."

Duncan sighed, wrong again, and trudged alongside his master. They next stopped at a
booth that sold fishing supplies. There were all manners of hooks, lures and fishing
implements. Meerfus seemed particularly interested in the fishing flies, ones that looked
almost like butterflies or mayflies with hidden hooks. "Are we going to make a wand that
helps you catch fish with the those flies?" worried, asked Duncan. He'd already been wrong
twice. Could his intuitions be so wrong? Meerfus laughed. "No, I actually enjoy fishing. I was
thinking about going again in the river down the road."

Duncan groaned in frustration. "How am I so wrong today? I cannot believe you are not
trying to get things for wands! How am I so clueless?" Meerfus laughed, shaking his head.
