Herry's New Shoes and Other Good-Night Stories [antikvár]

HERRY'S NEW SHOES Herry Monster's furry big toe was poking out of one of his sneakers. His little toe was poking out of the other sneaker. "Herry," said his mother, "I think it's time we bought you a new pair of shoes." "But these shoes and I have been lots of places together. We are very good friends," he said. "Those sneakers are getting too small for you," said Herry's mother. "Don't worry. You'll make friends with your new shoes, too." So Herry and his mother walked to the shoe store. The salesman measured Herry's foot. "Hmmm," he said. "Size twelve. Pretty big for a monster your age." Then he went to the back room and brought out boxes and boxes of shoes. Herry tried on blue sneakers, and red sneakers, and sneakers that laced all the way up to his ankles. At last he decided on a pair of white high tops with red stripes on the sides. "They fit him perfectly," said the salesman. "May I please wear them home?" Herry asked, and his mother said he could.
