But now, there is no one who ordered her shoes again.Because he is old and considered unable to do to make shoes.Now, he's just waiting for the arrival of a customer so he can meet his needs.
Look at the house some old shoes that have worn, it's because none of the customers who come. Mr Jones said in his heart "when there are customers who will buy the shoes?". With high spirits he was trying to make shoes that are pretty and beautiful. "I believe by making sure new shoes that customers will flock to my house", said Mr Jones. Eventually he started making shoes that are made ​​from the finest leather and bright red. Few days passed, and the red shoe has finally been completed. When he saw the red shoes she could only smile happily.
One night, very heavy rain, lightning and thunder in the sky. make the night a quiet night for MrJones. suddenly, there was a knock at the door with a very loud.Then he rapidly opened the door hoping a customer who came.
