I hope you like my funny stories based on your mistakes. This time it will be another story. Let’s say it is a modern version of Cinderella as it is all about shoes!

So, here are the expressions that inspired my imagination.

1. “I bought a new shoe.” Sure, we all know we can’t buy only one shoe.  If people are disable and have only one foot/leg, they have to buy a pair of shoes or shoes anyway.
2. “I was in a hurry so I just could wear my left shoe.” Hahaha!  We wear footwear all day long. Some people may forget to PUT both shoes ON and it will be really funny to see them walk on the streets wearing only one!
3. “Grab your shoes under the bed and wear them!” How to react to this command? You will know if you read my story. If we put something under the bed, we take it from under it later.

My friends, it is just the beginning of the story. Even my weird imagination can’t help me use all the great expressions in one story.

So, let’s start from here.

One young pretty but a very poor girl had been invited to the reunion party where she expected to see all her classmates and the guy she had liked while studying at school. She thought they all must have become very successful and didn’t want to lose her face.  Unfortunately, our girl didn’t have a fairy aunt who could have presented her a great evening gown, high-heeled shoes and a limo for her to look like a princess. So, the girl decided to take the matter into her own hands. She thought everything over. She had been working hard for long but had no money to buy at least a pair of evening shoes! So, she decided to take for free what she deserved. She was not very brave and she asked her friend to help her rob a luxurious store. I have to say, her friend was a male, her childhood friend and he surely agreed. So, they both put on the masks and rushed out.

It was the deep night and everything was going on right at the beginning. The girl picked out a nice dress, tried it on and packed it. She tried on the shoes, took them off and was about to pack them into a box when the alarm system went off! Poor guys! They had to escape as quickly as they could! The young man shouted,

“Grab everything you have picket out and go, NOW!”

The girl grabbed a bag with the dress, a shoe box and rushed out and away. However, being in a hurry, she was not able to hold the stuff firmly and one of the shoes fell out of the box. Sure, she didn’t notice it. She got home, put the bag and a shoe box under her bed and went to sleep.

The next day getting herself ready for the reunion party, she took the shoe box from under her bed and realized there was only one shoe. But what a shoe it was! It was of her favorite color, it was so stylish and desirable! It was sparkling and captivating! She couldn’t stand putting on at least one of a pair.

When she arrived at the reunion party wearing an exclusive evening gown and an exclusive shoe she realized that many of her classmates hadn’t made good careers and were wearing their casual clothes. She started feeling uneasy but when she saw the guy she had been in love with at school, she relaxed. He came up and invited her for a dance. But you know how hard it is to dance having only one high-heeled shoe on! Of course, the guy noticed her limping and asked what the matter was.  Her face turned red and she involuntarily looked at her feet. He looked at them, too and saw her wearing only one shoe. The expression of his face didn’t change and he said with a charming smile,

“Dear Cinderella, I have found you at last!” and took the other shoe out of his pocket together with a police badge and handcuffs. “Your limo is waiting for you” he said cuffing her tender hands...
