was sitting on a bench
while he took off his
size-12 shoes and put
them in front of the
girl. “Here,” he said,
“You won’t be able
to walk in these but
if you can slide along,
you can get your ice
cream.”
 Then he lifted the girl
up and set her feet into the
shoes. “Take your time,” he
said. “I get tired of moving
them around and it will feel
good to just sit here and eat
my ice cream.” the girl’s eyes
lit up. She immediately went
to the counter and ordered
her ice cream.
