Yesterday Harry's mother found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop.But he didn't know 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 and Harry doesn't go to school.With a policeman's help,he found a shop.The shopkeeper was friendly to him.The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose.When he was trying on a pair,suddenly he remembered something and took them off.The man was surprised and asked,"What's the matter,young man?"
