A little old woman caring for many cheerful children fills their cozy shoe-home with love and laughter.
In a brightly colored shoe at the edge of a quiet town, there lived a little old woman with lots of cheerful children. Their home was cozy, with big windows, a sunny red door, and yellow flowers growing near the heel. Each morning, warm light filled the shoe and the little old woman called out, “Rise and shine, sweethearts!”
All the children popped out of bed, smiling and stretching. They made their beds, picked up their toys, and fed the friendly hen who liked to hop around the door. Happy chatter and giggles filled every corner as they worked together.
Breakfast always began with crunchy toast and sweet jam spread on top. The children gathered around the table, taking turns and sharing stories while the little old woman poured warm milk for everyone. She remembered to share a big hug with each child, making them feel special.
After breakfast, everyone hurried into the yard. The children played games, chased butterflies, and collected shiny pebbles and little leaves. The little old woman watched from her favorite chair, smiling at all the joy around her.
On rainy days, they played in the cozy shoe-house. The children built blanket forts, made paper hats, and drew pictures for the kitchen walls. Laughter echoed as the old woman read funny stories or baked tiny cookies for everyone to share.
Lunch came with bowls of soup and sweet apples. Sometimes a spoon dropped to the floor or a giggle escaped at the wrong time, but everyone cleaned up together and soon the kitchen was sparkling.
After lunch, quiet time arrived. Some of the children took naps while others read picture books or colored bright drawings. The little old woman hummed gentle tunes and folded soft socks by the window.
When the sun set, everyone helped tidy up, then sat down to a warm dinner. The little old woman tucked each child into bed, smoothed their blankets, and gave a soft kiss on each forehead.
As stars blinked above the big shoe, the little old woman whispered, “Love fills every corner of our home.”
A happy family can make any place feel just right.
