The Shoe Lady

The Shoe Lady There once was a woman who loved shoes very much. People called her the " shoe lady" . She bought shoes all the time. Once, she counted all her shoes and found that she had almost one hundred pairs! One day, she met an old man who was well known for his wisdom. The lady told the old man that she loved shopping for shoes. She just could not stop. If she bought one more pair, she would have 100 pairs of shoes! The old man laughed when he heard the number. He said, “ You are not a centipede! You know, the insect with many legs and feet?"

The old man continued, " You have only two legs and two feet. Why do you need so many shoes?" The woman couldn't answer. The old man said, " Owning a lot of shoes doesn't make you a better person. It only costs you more. Why don't you try to help someone in need?You will see if that makes you happy. "
