Talons Aiguilles

Today I felt too small. I wanted to be taller.

So I tied two upside down buckets to my feet. I felt taller but I kept bumping into things and I couldn’t get through the door so I ended up having to take them off.

I went straight to the shoe shop and I told the lady I wanted shoes that made me taller. She brought me a pair of "high heels" and said:

“These will give you killer legs!”

I didn’t really understand why she would tell me something like that but I tried them on anyways.

I tried them on and walked around. I felt tall.

I didn’t have to reach, climb or jump to get anything.

Then I fell, from high, and it hurt. too much.

So I told the lady, thank you, but I will not be needing the shoes that make me taller because anyways reaching, climbing and jumping is good exercise.
