The day was like any other day in his life. Tom walked past the shop on the street corner. He stopped to look at the front row of shoes, and he felt happy to see that the pair of shoes he wanted very much were still there. Looking down, he felt sorry for himself. He really wanted to have them for his birthday.
He sadly walked away and thought how to tell his mother about it. He knew she would give him anything he liked if she could. But he also knew very well she had little money. He decided not to go home at once because he didn’t want his mother to be worried about him. So he went to the park and sat on the grass. Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair.

He went away and smiled, thinking he was happier.
