A man went out with the wrong boots, one with a thick sole（后跟）and the other with a thin one. As he began to walk, he felt uncomfortable, for one foot was higher than the other. He felt very strange and said, “ Is there anything wrong with my legs today? Why is one of my legs long, and the other short? ”

A passer-by told him that he was wearing the wrong boots. He look down and found that it was really so. At once he asked his servant(仆人) to go back home and get another pair.
