S is for Shoe


This morning, on my way to the market, I saw a shoe in the gutter. It was a respectable brown leather man's shoe, in good condition.

I then met a friend, who also saw the shoe, and he told me the following story (which is meant to be true).

A man was walking through the woods when he met another man, dishevelled and dirty, wearing a single shoe.

'Have you lost a shoe?' the first man inquired.
'No,' beamed the other. 'I just found one!'

  5. Teresa I thought it might make a good story, too, but didn't bave time to make it into one in time! I've enjoyed the A to Z challenge, but I'm not sure I'll do it again - it's a bit time-consuming! Only 6 more to go...

    Keith, (a)this isn't a joke, and (b)I never said yours were bad!

    Yvonnne and Karen, thanks for the comments. And Karen, who need socks in this weather (hot in the UK!)?
