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.]]> 2018-11-18 14:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305658170 Beat 3- Appreciate shoemaker Kailey_Rawlston https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305658587 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.]]> 2018-11-18 14:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305658587 Beat 4- Feel Bittersweet Kailey_Rawlston https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305659120 The shoemaker gave me my pretty red shoes today, which is perfect timing.

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?”]]> 2018-11-18 14:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305659853 Beat 7- Hopeful Kailey_Rawlston https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305660205 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!”]]> 2018-11-18 14:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305660205 Beat 8- Inspire superstition Kailey_Rawlston https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305660981 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.

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. ]]> 2018-11-18 15:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305662808 Beat 14- Ignore the situation Kailey_Rawlston https://padlet.com/Kailey_Rawlston/upaucm6zeqna/wish/305663208 When we get to church, a soldier with a long red beard tells me how beautiful they are.
