Once upon a time, there was an old man who had big feet. His shoes were always wet because he loved to walk in the rain. He was very tall and always wore shiny, red shoes that stood out from a mile away. He was known for being funny, always making people laugh wherever he went.

One day, he came across a pair of blue shoes that were even shinier than his own. He tried them on and they fit perfectly. From that day forward, he wore his new blue shoes everywhere he went, still making everyone laugh with his funny jokes.

The end.

Reflections

1. What was the old man's favorite thing to do?
2. What were the old man's shoes like before he found the blue ones?
3. How did the old man feel when he found the blue shoes?
4. Do you think the old man still makes people laugh with his funny jokes?
5. Why do you think the old man's shoes were always wet?
