Story

NO SHOES TODAY

“Don’t be too in a hurry, Son. Take your time for breakfast,” Ernesto’s mother said.

“I might be late for our math test, Mother,” Ernesto replied and he gulped his glass of milk as fast as he could.
He ate his pandesal in two successive mouthfuls and swallowed it with a glass of water. He rushed to his room,
grabbed his school bag and ran downstairs.

“Mother, I’m going,” Ernesto shouted from their gate. Aling Rosa peeped out of the window and called

, “Ernesto, you are barefooted. Come back and put on your shoes.”

Ernesto shook his head and said, “ It’s all right, Mother. I have my slippers on.”
“I insist. Come back for your shoes,” Aling Rosa argued.

“But, Mother, I don’t want my shoes on today. We’re going to have test in

Mathematics.”

“What has the test got to do with your shoes?”

“Without my shoes on, I can count my toes during the test, Mother.”

Aling Rosa nodded and said, “Hurry to school then.” Just the same, put on your shoes. Remove them when you
are in the classroom.”
