“Jimmy asked one morning as he wiggled his toes.
“They’re growing all the time,” said Mother. “They have grown so much that it is time to go to the shoe store and talk to Mr. Markle about new shoes.”

“New shoes, new shoes, we’re going to get new shoes!” sang Janet. Then she said, “And I’m going to surprise Mr. Lemon with new shoes when he brings the mail.” Janet liked to surprise people, especially Mr. Lemon.
