“Mama, I only want red shoes. Someday when my feet are fixed will you buy some, please?â€
Her mother nodded her head. “I promise, Nancy. You will have your red shoes, my daughter.â€

The weekend challenge from Trifecta is retelling our favorite story in 33 words only. I read Red Shoes for Nancy by Marguerite Hamilton over and over when I was about 12 years old. The tale of a little girl who only wanted a pair of red shoes resonated with me. I would dearly love to have a copy of the book, but cannot afford the ones I have found for sale. Instead I will remember it in my heart.
