Many who know me may consider me to be beautiful, but I have also been known as somewhat delicate and dainty.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not have much of a family, It’s just me and my mom. Because it is just us, we are extremely poor. We are so poor that people will usually find me wearing no shoes! When winter comes and it is too cold to be barefoot, I have to wear these embarrassingly large wooden shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m guessing that at some point, the Dame Shoemaker that lived in the center of my village saw me running around with no shoes, so she decided to make me some. They were only made of cloth so they were extremely flimsy and not well made. Either way, it was a very kind gesture, and they were red, which is my favorite color.

# data[].attributes.body
The shoemaker gave me my pretty red shoes today, which is perfect timing. You see, my mother passed away recently and is being buried today.

# data[].attributes.body
I have no other shoes to wear, so I wore my new red ones! They are not meant to be worn to something as serious as a funeral, but as I said, I have nothing else.

# data[].attributes.body
This funeral is excruciatingly sorrowful. Besides my mother passing away, I am also worried because now I have nowhere to go! As the funeral ends, I am walking away thinking, “Where will I go? Who will take care of me?”

# data[].attributes.body
I look up from my scary thoughts and I notice a beautiful, elegant carriage. Sitting inside is an old, somewhat unattractive woman. It is obvious  that she is wealthy, seeing as how she is riding around in this exquisite carriage. We make eye contact and, with complete pity in her eyes, she announces, “Here, give me the little girl. I will adopt her!”

# data[].attributes.body
It may sound silly, but I believe that my red cloth shoes have brought luck, in the form of this old woman, into my life. Despite their obvious powers, she hates them.

# data[].attributes.body
Although this woman disapproves of my old shoes, I thoroughly enjoy the new life she has given me. And people even tell her all the time how nice and beautiful I am...I love it!

I am finally old enough to be confirmed in my church, but momma says I need new clothes and shoes before the event.

# data[].attributes.body
We are at a wealthy shoemakers house and he has beautiful red shoes. Momma has been losing her vision so she does not know their color. She bought them!

# data[].attributes.body
It is Sunday now and I am wearing my new shoes to church. Everyone is staring at me, and I hear one of the older men tell momma what color they were. She tells me that I must wear black shoes next time.

A week has gone by and it is Sunday again. I told momma I put on my black shoes but I actually have my red ones on. She will never know the difference, so I am just going to do what pleases me.

# data[].attributes.body
When we get to church, a soldier with a long red beard tells me how beautiful they are. He then looks at my shoes and tells them to never come off my feet while I dance.

# data[].attributes.body
I am so excited about our encounter, I dance all the way up to our carriage.

# data[].attributes.body
All of a sudden, I can’t control my feet and I’m dancing all over town!

# data[].attributes.body
After my strange dancing moment, I took my shoes off. Despite the strangeness of the situation, I put them back on because I have been invited to the ball.

# data[].attributes.body
Momma is sick and I am supposed to care for her at home, but who can say no to a ball?

# data[].attributes.body
I am at the ball now, and I have never seen such a beautiful sight. Everyone is wearing amazing dresses and dancing all across the floor.

# data[].attributes.body
For some reason though, my feet are doing the opposite of what I want them to do!

# data[].attributes.body
Now they are forcing me down the road, through the woods, and into a grave! I am trying so hard to get my shoes off but they won’t budge!

# data[].attributes.body
I look up in defeat and see an angel in front of me holding a sword. He says to me, “Dance in those shoes until

you are six feet under! From door to door! You were vain and now all other children will know what happens when they are spoiled!”

# data[].attributes.body
I am begging for mercy but there is no luck. I cannot take it anymore! I am going to the executioner and asking him to cut my feet off.

The executioner follows my instructions and does as I have asked. I now have wooden shoes and crutches to move me around.

# data[].attributes.body
I am too ashamed to go to church now, so I pray at home instead. Last week, I went to church and my red shoes were at the door! That is why I can no longer go. Now I just beg for mercy all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
As I am praying for mercy, something crazy happened! The angel came back! And he has roses instead of a sword! He opens the ceiling and I can see a shining gold star.

# data[].attributes.body
He shows me my church and clergymen all singing to God. He looks at me and nods, “It is okay for you to go back!”

# data[].attributes.body
As the instruments and people and children are singing, the sun is shining through the window and softly onto the chair where I usually sit in church. My heart is so full, so at peace, that I know I can go home. My soul is now in the sunshine and with God, and no one is asking about my red shoes.
