A Pair of Shoes

One day a foolish man wanted to buy a pair of shoes. He drew a picture of his foot on a piece of paper. Then he decided to go to a shoe shop in town. The town was far away from his home.

When he reached the town, he found that he had forgotten to bring the drawing of his foot. He decided to go home to get the drawing before sunset. “I’d better buy a horse so that I can get home quickly,” he thought. Therefore, he went to the market next to the town.

“I want to buy a horse,” he said to the horse seller. “What about this one?” said the horse seller. “It’s an excellent horse. It can go 50 miles without stopping.” “No, not this one,” said the man. “My house is only 20 miles away from here. Do you think I’m a fool? If I buy this horse, I will have to walk 30 miles back to my house.”
