Question

Bill’s shoes were worn out.Since he was unlucky recently，he decided to throw them away.One day，he went to the rubbish pit far from the city and threw the old shoes into it.Then he returned home，lay down and slept.

But he had a dog，and the dog often went to the rubbish pit to look for food.On that day，the dog saw the shoes in the pit and knew they were its master’s.So the dog took one of the heavy shoes in its mouth and went slowly，and left it at Bill’s bedside.Then the dog fetched the other shoe in the same way.

When Bill woke up，he saw the shoes by his bed and he was afraid very much.The shoes can walk by themselves，so they must be done away with，he thought.Then he made a large fire in front of his house and put the shoes on it.

Just then a strong wind was blowing，and before long the fire made the house start burning.His neighbor immediately came out but could do nothing.The house burnt down，but the old shoes were saved by the honest dog again.

When told the truth，all his neighbors said that he was foolish.
