The Man and the Shoes

Once there was a man who lived 100 miles away from any town. As this was so, whenever he needed something he had to walk 100 miles to get it because no one in any town wanted to go 100 miles just to give him something. He needed a faster form of transportation, but he lived too far to find a vechile shop. That was why he always tried to make the best of everything and make it last a long time. One day he desperately needed new sohoes, for, try as he might, he could not sew them back together to be fit enough for wearing. So he walked 101 miles to the nearest shoe store he could find and looked for a suitable pair of shoes that would last a long time. At last he found a nice brown leather pair, cheap , fashionable, and comfortable. By then it was getting late, and just when the clerks asked him what size he wore, he suddenly remembered he had forgotten his size at his home! He told the clerks he would go and get it, and even though the clerks insistd he could just size himself again, he went anyways. He ran back home, snatched up his size, and ran to the store again.Unfourtanetly by the time he got there, the store wasalready closed. All he could do was walk sadly back home again. The End
