In a small town in the United States, there was a very poor little girl. Her family was in great poverty. In order to help relieve the family burden a little, she decided to go out to sell children's shoes in the cold winter. On this day, it was windy and snowy. The little girl, wearing thin clothes and holding a box full of children's shoes in her arms, stood on the street of the small town. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and everyone was hurrying home to avoid the wind and snow. The little girl's face was freezing red, but her eyes showed firmness. She whispered, "Children's shoes for sale. Beautiful and warm children's shoes."
At this time, a passing aunt saw the little girl. The little girl quickly walked up to her and showed the aunt the children's shoes in her hand. When the aunt saw the little girl shivering with cold, she felt very sorry for her. The little girl said to the aunt, "Auntie, these shoes are of very good quality. My mother and I made them together. See if there are any suitable for your child to wear." The aunt crouched down and looked at the shoes carefully, and found that the shoes were very delicately made.
The aunt asked the little girl how much a pair of shoes cost, and the little girl named a very cheap price. Without hesitation, the aunt took out the money from her wallet and handed it to the little girl. When the little girl took the money, there were tears in her eyes, and she kept thanking the aunt. The aunt also took off her scarf and wrapped it around the little girl's neck, saying to her, "Child, it's so cold. You should go home early." The little girl felt the warmth from the aunt, and she thought that there were still many kind - hearted people in this world.
The little girl carefully put away the money she received, then picked up the remaining shoes and walked towards home. The wind and snow were still heavy, but her heart was full of warmth. She thought that the money earned today could buy some food for the family, and her father and mother would not have to work so hard. Her steps also became lighter, leaving a string of small footprints on the snow.
