Hazel Pauline and Her Ruby Red Shoes
A heartwarming tale of a young farm girl named Hazel Pauline, who dreams of owning a pair of ruby red shoes. Faced with obstacles and the challenge of giving up her dream, Hazel learns the true meaning of charity and kindness as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery in the rolling hills of Tennessee.
Hazel Pauline lived in the rolling hills of Tennessee, where she dreamed of owning a pair of ruby red Mary Jane shoes. Every day, she watched the other girls at school twirl and play in their shiny shoes. Hazel's heart ached for a pair of her own but she knew her family couldn't afford them. - Why can't I have shoes like that? Hazel asked her mama, her eyes filled with longing. Her mama sighed, "Times are tight, Hazel, but maybe one day."
One sunny afternoon, Hazel spotted a pair of ruby red shoes in a shop window. Her heart leapt with excitement, but the price tag made her heart sink. - Oh, how I wish I could have them, Hazel whispered to herself. She pressed her nose against the glass, dreaming of the day she might wear them. But the shoes seemed far beyond her reach.
At school, Hazel's friends talked about the new shoes they got for their birthdays. Hazel felt left out and tried not to show her sadness. - It's not fair, Hazel thought, feeling a lump in her throat. Each day, she hoped for a miracle but was met with disappointment. She began to think the shoes would only ever be a dream.
Feeling hopeless, Hazel decided she would never have the shoes. She stopped talking about them, even to her mama. - Maybe I should just forget about them, Hazel said softly to herself. The thought made her heart heavy, but she tried to focus on other things. Still, a part of her wouldn’t let go of the dream.
One evening, Hazel's mama surprised her with a small box wrapped in bright paper. Hazel's eyes widened as she opened it to find the ruby red shoes she'd longed for. - How did you know? Hazel gasped, tears in her eyes. Her mama smiled, "I knew they were special to you, my love." Hazel's heart swelled with gratitude and joy.
The next day, Hazel wore her new shoes proudly to school, but she noticed a girl without any shoes at all. Hazel's heart ached as she saw the girl shivering. - Would you like to try them? Hazel asked, offering her shoes. The girl's eyes lit up with joy, and Hazel felt a warmth spread through her heart, knowing she had done the right thing.
