Outside the school, Bianca's mother and their driver pick her up. Bianca gets into the big car. She looks at her mother and says, "Mommy! Why are you wearing those sunglasses? They are just like mine!" Her mother says, "I'm sorry, Bianca. Let's go shopping to make you happy." Bianca looks at her mother with an unhappy face. (p.4)
When Bianca and her mother arrive at the department store, the driver parks the car, gets out, and opens the door for Bianca. As Bianca gets out, she sees a dog. She is not happy, and says, "Oh no! Look at that dog. It's hair looks just like mine." "I'm sorry, Miss," says the driver. Now Bianca is very unhappy. "I want to be special," says Bianca. She likes to look beautiful and special; she doesn't want to look like a dog. (p.6)
Bianca and her mother walk into the department store. They walk through the shoe department. Bianca is looking at shoes. She is not very happy. "Mommy, look! Those sneakers are just like mine!" "I'm sorry, dear. Let's buy a new pair for you." Bianca's mother has a lot of money. She can buy many pairs of shoes. (p.8)
Mother is carrying her handbag. Bianca is carrying her backpack. They are walking through the clothes department. A girl walks past them. Bianca points at the girl. "You see Mommy! That girl has a pink sweater. It's just like mine. I want a new sweater." "All right, dear," says Mom. She doesn't know why Bianca is so unhappy. (p.10)
Bianca and her mother are in the elevator. They are going to the seventh floor to buy some toys to make Bianca happy. "Why are you so unhappy, dear?" says her mother. "I want to be special Mommy, but I see many things just like mine." Her mother just laughs and says, "Don't be silly, Bianca." (p.12)
In the toy department, they go to look at the dolls. Bianca has many dolls at home, but she always likes to buy more. Bianca talkes a doll off the shelf. Now she is very angry and stomps her foot. "See, Mommy. I am not silly. Look at this doll. She has jeans just like mine. I don't like this doll." Her mother just looks at Bianca. She thinks her daughter is being very silly. "I'm sorry, dear," says Mom. (p.14)
They leave the toy department and go to the sports department. Mother wants to buy a new badminton racket. She goes to the checkout counter to pay for it. "What do you want to buy, Bianca?" asks Mom. Bianca just looks at the shop assistant, and says, "I need a new cap, because this man has one just like mine." The shop assistant looks at Bianca. He doesn't know what to say. "That's fine, dear," says Mom. (p.16)
Bianca's mother is getting tired and thirsty, so they sit down and have something to drink in the cafe. Bianca's mother orders two fruit juices; one for her and one for Bianca. "Why aren't you drinking your juice, Bianca? It's very good," says Mom. "I don't want to drink it, Mommy. I am not thirsty." "Are you sure, dear?" Bianca is thirsty, but she is not happy. She is very, very silly girl. (p.18)
Bianca's mother can see that nothing can make her happy. "It's time to go home, Bianca," she says. "Good idea, Mommy," says Bianca. "Right, Let's go," says Mom. On the escalator, Bianca looks back. She cannot believe her eyes. She sees a woman carrying a backpack like hers. Now she is really unhappy. "You see! she says to her mother. "That woman has a backpack just like mine." Everybody has something just like hers, so she doesn't feel special. Bianca wants to go home right away. (p.20)
As Bianca and her mother are leaving the department store, the woman with the backpack catches up to them. "Excuse me. Is this your backpack?" asked the woman. "It looks just like mine," says Bianca. "Yes, it is mine. Thank you." she says. "You're welcome." Bianca is happy. Maybe she knows just how silly she was. (p.22)
