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!'
