Winnie the Spider and the Seven Pink Shoes
“Now you just tell me what you are playing at Winnie!” said Winnie’s mother and looked at Winnie’s seven pink shoes and frowned with a very big frown indeed.
“They were in a sale mother. I couldn’t resist them. Buy one get six for free!”
“But why in the world did you not buy eight? Now you’ve got a single foot with no shoe on it and that looks very, very silly!”
“They didn’t have any more than seven pink shoes,” said Winnie. “But…” and she was holding a bag, “but they did have this one which is exactly the same style and they actually gave it to me for free. The only problem is…” and she took a shoe out of the bag and showed her mother, “…as you can see…it’s yellow!”
“I can see that it is yellow. You can’t wear seven pink shoes and one yellow shoe!”
“And why not?” said Winnie and placed the shoe onto her foot with determination. “Ah… it fits perfectly, just like the others!” With that Winnie did a little spider dance and her mother stood there watching with disbelief as a dazzle of pink shoes whirled about in the air with a splodge of yellow swirling around here and there in the blur.
Winnie stopped dancing and panting looked down at her shoes and smiled. “See, they’re lovely!”
