New Shoes - Continued
One Last Look
Her grandfather had gone out, and Bonnie just wanted to take one last look at the shoes....
"These gold ones are my favourite.."
"Why don't you try them on?"
"Here, we'll help you...."
Winston had been stocking shelves, and noticed what they were up to...
"Oh dear...."
"I don't think you should be doing that..."
But they just ignored him, and took out even more shoes to try on....
In Trouble
Nick came back from his break...."What is going on here??"
"We just wanted to look at the shoes one last time....and then..... they were so beautiful....that we couldn't resist trying them on..."
"Those shoes are for the Queen and her ladies. I don't think they'd be pleased to know you've been playing with them...."
"Well, we didn't take out the ones for the Queen..."
"All our customers are important, and they expect their shoes to be brand new, never worn, when they are delivered. So their shoes are not meant to be played with...."
So they quickly put the shoes back in their boxes...
"That's better! I think we should go deliver these right away..."
Out for Delivery
Nick and Bonnie headed out into the snow to deliver the shoes...
Fortunately the castle wasn't too far...
"I hope they like them..."
"I think they will love them..."
New Shoes for the Queen
The Queen was the first to try on her new shoes...
Bianca was curious and couldn't resist taking a look at her's...
"So, what do you think?"
"They are beautiful, and fit perfectly..."
Bonnie reached for the next box of shoes....
....as Yvette and Bianca admired theirs....
'These are really beautiful..."
"They feel really good too.."
Next....
The Queen was very happy with her new shoes, so then it was Grace's turn....
Happy Customers
Bonnie was collecting the empty shoe boxes....
While Bianca and Yvette admired their new shoes....
"The shoes are gorgeous. You did an amazing job!"
Then the Queen turned to Bonnie....
"Your grandfather makes such beautiful shoes...."
"Maybe some day you'll get a chance to wear some just like these..."
Her grandfather threw her a warning glance....
...and Bonnie knew not to say anything.....
"Yes Ma'am. Maybe some day...."
"I sure hope so, Ma'am."
