Small shoes: what I want is never the first
When I was a child, my family was not wealthy, even poor, and all I wanted was to quench my thirst. When I was chatting with my mother, I heard her talk about the past inadvertently. It was the first year I went out to work. to the side. Unfortunately, just in time for the economic crisis, for the rural people, the only way to do it is to work as a coolie, and the first job they found was moving bricks. In the summer, my feet were still covered with winter cotton. Shoes, because I was afraid that I would hurt my feet when I walked, I never took them off, but I didn't have the money to buy new ones, and the days went on like this.
After a month of hard work, my parents, who finally got paid, finally bought me a pair of sandals. My mother said that she had been picking out the sandals in the store for a long time, and finally found the cheapest pair.
Ali in «Little Shoes» accidentally lost the shoes that his sister used to sew while she was shopping for her mother. What's worse, her sister only had this pair of shoes, so daily travel became a problem, let alone It's time to go to class. Worrying about being discovered by his father, he would not only be scolded, but also make this poor family more miserable, so Ali and his sister could only wear one pair of sneakers.
After learning that participating in the running competition, the reward that the third runner-up can get is a pair of shoes, although the trials have passed and the school's candidates have been determined, Ali still bites the bullet and goes to the teacher to qualify for the competition.
"I will definitely get the ranking!" Finally, he persuaded the teacher and started daily practice.
"But why is the third runner-up?" My sister asked puzzled after hearing the good news brought by Ali.
"Because the prize for the third place is a pair of sneakers, if I win the third place, I will give you the sneakers."
Ali was running hard, and the conversation between his sister and himself echoed in his mind. His feet never stopped. He wanted to get the third place and gave the sneakers to his sister. He didn't break his promise to the teacher.
When the surrounding children lay sad on the side of the road crying because they didn't win the championship, Ali, who won the championship, didn't seem to be at all happy, and stared blankly at the prize for the third place - the pair of brand-new sneakers was so quiet put it on the table, waiting for the third runner-up to be received.
Fate always seems to love to joke about poverty, and misfortune seems to prefer to befall the weak.
For poor people, there seems to be no kindness in life, and hard work all day long is no match for other people's pets.
For Ali, the first place has never been what he pursued. What he hopes is not so much a ranking, but rather a life. For the sake of life, he strives for the competition and strives to become the third runner-up, but he just wants a prize.
For Ali, working hard to live is hard enough.
First to you, I just want sneakers.
