“Take off your shoes,” said Mother. “Put on your new shoes.”
Bobby went to the closet off his bedroom and took out his shoes and put them on.
Betty went to the closet off her bedroom and took out her shoes and put them on.
“Now take your old shoes to the shoemaker,” said Mother. “Ask him to mend them.”
Mother gave Bobby and Betty some money to pay the shoemaker.
They were soon at the door of his shop.
They stood and listened to the shoemaker’s hammer.
“Rap-a-tap-tap! Rap-a-tap-tap!” went the shoemaker’s hammer.
Bobby and Betty opened the door and went into the shop.
