Forgetful Plug goes to the store for his mother, repeating the phrase, "Soap! Soap! Don't forget the soap!" But with each encounter he forgets the phrase, picking up a new one, getting into trouble, and getting dirtier each time. By the time he remembers the soap, he is in desperate need of it when he gets home.

Soap! Soap! Don't Forget the Soap!, illustrated by Andrew Glass. New York: Holiday House, 1993.
This story in itself represents some students of any future teacher's classroom. Not all students are going to be financially stable or live in a culture that buys something as important as soap; they also may not have great memory to remember everything a teacher tells them. This is retold as an Appalachian Folktale, so it's written as an oral story.
