Pair of shoes

1111

A centipede walked into a shop and asked for a pair of shoes.

The shopkeeper looked at him and checked it was just the one pair that the centipede wanted.

The centipede laughed and assured the shopkeeper that yes, although one pair would be useless for himself,

the shoes were a birthday gift for someone else and that he did indeed only want one pair.

The shopkeeper laughed too.

“Who’s the lucky person you’re buying for?” he asked. “The millipede”, replied the centipede. “I don’t like him.”
