　　Two Feet in Different Size

　　One of Harry's feet was bigger than the other. "I can never find boots or shoes for my feet," he said to his friend, Dick.

　　"Why don't you go to a shoemaker?" Dick said. "A good one can make you the right shoes."

　　"I’ve never been to a shoemaker," Harry said. "Tell me, please, aren't they expensive?"

　　"No," Dick said, "Some of them aren't. There's a good one in our village, and he's quite cheap. Here's his address." He wrote something on a piece of paper and gave it to Harry.

　　A few days later, Harry went to the shoemaker by the address, and the shoemaker looked at him up and down, smiled and said, "Well, I see. Your feet are different in size. I can make you some shoes."

　　Harry went to the shop again a week later and looked at the shoes. Then he said to the shoemaker angrily, "You're a foolish man! I said, 'Make one shoe bigger than the other.' But you've made one smaller than the other!"（朱祥慧，2005）
