Barnaby inherited old leather shoes. They felt strange.
He stomped toward Farmer Giles's house. He wanted to shout.
The shoes turned heavy. So heavy! Each step pulled him down.
He could not move. Barnaby huffed. He puffed. The shoes stayed stuck.
He wanted to yell about the fence. He dragged his feet.
The old shoes were like lead. His legs ached. He thought, 'Maybe I should just talk.'
The shoes felt light. He floated forward. Almost gliding! He stopped near Giles's gate.
He decided to talk about the missing pumpkin. He marched again. His face was red.
The shoes became anchors. He could not lift them. He frowned.
He imagined saying sorry for his own wrong. The shoes lifted.
They practically skipped. He found himself on Giles's porch.
He knocked. Giles opened the door.
Barnaby smiled. The shoes felt like air.
