A Shoe Pattern

　　Harry is eighteen now. He studiesin a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become afamous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. Theycall him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to schoolin a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supperis ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something inthe shops.

　　Once Harry’s father was sent toLondon on business. He would stay there for half a year. Leaving, he told hiswife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and didall what her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that shewas ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do anyhousework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where toget on the bus!

　　Yesterday Harry’s mother found hisshoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’tknow how to choose. The woman had a sigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. It’s Saturday today andHarry doesn’t go to school. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. Theshopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him tochoose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and tookthem off.
