relief, so an ice cream
store was a natural place
to stop.

money tightly, entered the
store. But before she could buy
the ice cream, the store clerk
told her to go outside and read
the sign on the door. “Stay out
until you put on some shoes.,”
she said.
No Bare Feet
The little girl went out slowly,
and a big man followed her out
of the store. He watched as the
little girl stood in front of the
store and read the sign: “No
Bare Feet.” Tears started rolling
down her cheeks as she walked
away from the store

41. Just then the big man
called her. He was sitting on a
bench while he took off his size-
12 shoes and put them in front
of the girl. “Here,” he said, “You
won’t be able to walk in these
but if you can slide along, you
can get your ice cream.”
Then he lifted the girl up and set her feet into
the shoes. “Take your time,” he said. “I get tired of
moving them around and it will feel good to just sit
here and eat my ice cream.” the girl’s eyes lit up. She
immediately went to the counter and ordered her ice
cream.
