Molly's Velvet Slippers

It was Molly's birthday. Granny gave her a present. "Red velvet slippers! I love them!" Molly was excited. "May I wear them to school, Granny?" "No," said Granny. "Slippers are not for school!" Molly was disappointed.

She had an idea. The next day, she hid them in her school bag. At school, Molly put them on. "We love your red slippers!" All the girls were jealous of Molly.

Molly was very proud. She wore them all morning. At noon, the boys and girls ran outside with a skipping rope to play. Molly ran out too. She wanted to keep up with her friends.

The boys and girls started to skip one by one. It was Molly's turn. She jumped. "Oops!" One of her slippers flew off. It landed in a puddle!

Some of the boys laughed. Molly was very embarrassed and went red in the face. In the afternoon, she took off the slippers and put them carefully back into her school bag.
