No boots for the four-footed friend

I have an old friend.

I haven't seen him for almost two years ... 

But I like him and I'm checking his mom's blog everyday.

And I found this.

I want the cool shoes!

He looks cool, doesn't he?

I asked Mom to buy me the same shoes that he has.

Mom, please buy me the same shoes.

I need them for walking in this asphalt jungle!

Mom: "You don't need them. We don't have money to spend on you anymore!"

Please buy them, please!

I'll work hard.

Mom: "No way, Jose!"

Papa, you'll buy me my shoes, right?

Papa: "I don't have any money. Ask Mom."

Mom: "We don't have money."

....

I really thought about running away from home.

But even for that, I wanted to have shoes.

Walking barefoot sounds barbaric. Like a beast! 

Papa, please buy them for me, please.

Papa: "I'll buy them for you if I have money, but all money in this house is managed by Mom. Sorry, Bobby Lee, I have to clean this air conditioner since we can't buy a new one."

I didn't want to ask Mom since I knew that she wouldn't say yes.

I wanted to became a rich man's boy, but reality is hard to change.

So I finally decided to borrow the shoes from Mom.

Mom, can I borrow your shoes, then?

Mom: "Of course!"

Okey-dokey...

Mom: "What did you say?"

Nothing, Mom.

Papa, put it on my foot.

Papa: "I'm sorry but how?"

I can't believe Papa!

He didn't know how to put the shoes on me!

I'm depressed.

I don't need anybody!

I'll put them on by myself!

It is quite difficult ...

Maybe this way?

Or this way ...

I can't!!

I don't like you!

Mom: "Bobby Lee, sweetie, I'll put them on you."

Are you sure?

Mom: "Yes!"

OK, Mom, then, please.

I said so, but I didn't expect very much from her.

BUT!

Look at me!

How is this!

Mom: "You look great!"

I was so happy!

But after a while, I found out that they were too big and only two are not enough for me.

Papa, I need two more!

Papa: "Do you want my shoes?"

No, I want the same ones!

Papa: "Bobby Lee, I'll tell you the truth ... You look like a circus clown."

I tried to walk with them even though he said that, but then I realized that Papa was right.

I gave up and I decided to ask Ton-kun next time to give me a set.

He's a nice guy ... I think he will ...

That's my dream shoes story.
