Well, my friends! I promised you the happy end and here you are! However, before reading the story, you are expected to read my usual introduction presenting and explaining your mistakes. Hope you will find a few minutes to look through them.

1. “She always gives me wise decisions.” As a matter of fact, people are used to saying words of advice rarely followed. We usually listen to advice, analyze it and make up our mind.
2. A thief wanted to take away a lady’s locket but when he saw her wearing only one shoe he got astonished and asked “Where is your another pair?” Sure, the author meant “the other shoe” but it sounds like the thief wanted to steal all her footwear!
3. “Poor you are, did not your police hero buy her another pair of shoes?” Hahaha! Why should I feel pity on me in this case? We do say “Poor you!” or “Poor me!” feeling/showing our sympathy to others or taking pity on ourselves.
4. “Could not she manage new shoes without rubbing?” I have to admit that “rubbing” is OK speaking about footwear. But ladies try to break new shoes in, especially high-heeled before wearing them all day long . Besides, the negative question, together with “manage” makes my mind blow up!  Dear Bet, she couldn’t break in one shoe for sure!

So, here is the happy end whether you like it or not!      

Well, our poor girl was taken into custody and brought to the police department. She was locked in a small cell all alone and fell down on the bed being utterly exhausted. Her left foot was chafed badly as she hadn’t had enough time to break a new shoe in, not to say it was almost impossible to do wearing only one of a pair. Her right foot was bleeding as she had stepped on the broken glass at the party. Both her legs hurt because of walking in unusual unnatural position for long. She couldn’t help crying bitterly thinking:

“Poor me! Poor me! What for did I decide to rob that store?! Couldn’t I come to the party wearing my favorite jeans and sneakers like others did?” Her inner voice replied immediately,

“Everything is so clear, Sweetheart!! You wanted to win the heart of the guy you loved who remained indifferent to your charm. Your desire can be justified. But now you see he doesn’t deserve your love. He betrayed you once again!”

She suddenly stopped crying, pulled herself together and started thinking.

“Well,” she thought, “we were wearing the gloves and there are no fingerprints either on a shoe or in the store. We broke all cameras. How can they prove it was me?” Her grey cells got some food! She was a smart girl and started thinking up the way out at once. She recalled her right of one call and requested a cell. She called her playfellow and told him what had happened. She dropped a hint about presenting the police another shoe that could have been the other of that pair.

Poor guy! He was head over heels in love although the girl had never paid any attention to his feelings. He was poor, too, but he was in love and knew what to do! He sold his old car. However, the money he got was enough to buy only one shoe. But we all know we should buy a pair! So, he sold his small apartment. At last he could buy a pair! He was happy! He came to the police department with a right shoe of the same size, color and fashion. He told the girl’s classmate,

“Look here, this is the other shoe of that pair. You have arrested a wrong person!”

The policeman exclaimed, “How come? I doubt that any other woman in our town can wear the same small size!” But he couldn’t prove anything and had to let the girl go free.

However, it is not the end of the story. When the girl was released, she decided to take a revenge on her classmate and to help her true friend. At last, she realized who truly loved her. They started living together in her small uncomfortable apartment but they were happy. And she immediately filed 10 million dollar defamation suit against the police and won it! She became quite wealthy in the twinkling of an eye. She could only wonder why no one had given her such wise advice leading to such a great decision. She started feeling confident and decided to study to feel successful as well. She entered Law School, graduated and became an outstanding lawyer who defends such girls like her till now.

Let me say I still have one great expression for my Halloween story!

Enjoy!
