A Pair of Socks Each Day

Originally in Chinese

One morning, a boy named Tony was getting dressed in his

bedroompreparing to go to school. His mother called out

from the living room, "Remember to put on a pair of new

socks!" Tony answered, "Yes, mom,

I will put on a pair of new socks." His mother emphasized, "

I mean that you should wear a new pair of socks every day!"

Tony again answered,"Yes, mom, I will put on a new pair

of socks every day."

A week later, he came out of the bedroom and said to his

mother, "Mom,I cannot get my feet into my shoes anymore."
