Autobiography of a pair of Shoes
Answers
Answer:
“I was born in a very sophisticated hi-tech facility. My creator took a great care of me. He ensured that my size, shape and colour were perfect. I resembled like my younger and older siblings. That gave me my family. My friends looked different yet as beautiful as me. Everyone generally had a family of different sizes. I was packed with great care and love, and transported to a new city.
At the shop, a giant shopping mart, I was scared at first. I met a lot of strange things I never knew. I quickly adapted to feel that I also belonged there. I made new friends and started socializing. They gave me tour to the shopping mall and shared their experience. I was excited. I met few that looked very similar to me but with a lower price tag, probably from another creator. The world looks at the outer beauty first these days, rather than the inner qualities. A shoe is a shoe. The thought disheartened me.
“Where are Woodlands shoes displayed?”, I heard a strong voice from the corner and it brighten my face. There are people who recognizes importance of quality product. I started singing and my siblings joined me. The whole rack glowed with our smiles.
I saw this well built guy approaching towards us, with office bag at his back; probably he might have come here directly from his office. So he seems to be a serious buyer. He picked up one of my friend who was of my age. That fitted him well. I liked it too. Then he picked me and my couple of friends. He narrowed down on me and my best friend. I was happy that we were the chosen ones.
I gave a broad smile showing my teeth when he clicked us with his mobile phone and sent our images to his wife, to get an opinion. They both chose me and soon I was in his shopping cart! I bid-adieu to my family and friends and hoped for a great journey ahead. The unchartered territory and unknown future worried me a bit but then optimism took all over me. I trusted myself and moments later started jumping in joy to see the world!
I met my long old friend in a shoe rack, he was taken good care. Kiddo at the house was amused to see me and it made me feel at home.
My new owner takes me to his office, the place is now familiar to me. I meet so many new friends in the local train everyday morning. I mingle with them. I go to restaurants on Fridays. I got to see tall buildings, beautiful architectures, fountains and colourful garden. Human beings are amazing with unlimited potential!
My creator always told me to go with the flow. Do the best. Give love and get it back. Never be static, keep moving and make friends as you move along. . , sometimes I feel cold inside a Mall. Once I got wet and I guess I like rains too!”
