Sarah's hand holding the pencil tip hesitated for a moment, and the pen tip slowly slipped off. She squeezed the new pencil and couldn't put it down.

Although this section is trivial, it is not boring. On the contrary, it not only explains the situation of the family, because the mother is ill and cannot go to work, the whole family relies on the father to make money alone.

Therefore, a pair of sneakers is extremely important to them.

And Ali's father, although his family was poor and he had a sick wife, he still had his own principles of life. The candy was right in front of him, but because it didn't belong to him, he didn't take it.

This is an extremely precious quality. It can be said that just through a small thing, you can see what a father is like.

Outside Ali's house, when the door opened, Sarah, wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, walked out gently, walked down the carpeted steps, and stood at the last section. She reluctantly took her brother's white sneakers.

She put them on and walked down the steps. However, the shoes were much bigger than her feet and did not fit her feet at all, so Sarah had to drag them out and walked out.

She opened the door and looked towards the street. There was no one in the alley, except for the old man who collected scraps and exchanged goods for goods. He walked past the end of the alley and yelled: "Exchange for salt, exchange dry bread for salt... Plastic bags, old

Trade your slippers for salt..."

Sarah's face was still stained with tears. She walked out of the door after making sure no one was there.

Outside the school gate, Sarah walked wearily. She stopped at the entrance of the alley, looked down at the shoes on her feet, and then looked up at the school across the road.

At the school gate, students poured into the school in twos and threes, and no one noticed her. Sarah then quickly crossed the small road and entered the school gate.

Sarah's class is having a long jump class. The camera pans over pairs of students' feet wearing various shoes. Some wear sneakers, some wear leather shoes, and some wear sandals.

Sarah, who was standing in the front row, dodged her feet in broken sneakers backwards.

Female physical education teacher: "Next: Nilofa Ferris." The students who were called walked out of the team one after another and jumped over the horizontal line on the ground.

The female physical education teacher kept shouting: "Next..." The children competed with each other, each jumping further than the other.

When it was the turn of a child wearing leather shoes to jump, she fell to the ground with a big kick. The children started yelling.

"Are you okay?" The teacher hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, dusted off the dust on her body, and put his arm around her shoulders: "Don't leave yet. Children, the problem with Feris' dancing is her shoes."

Sarah hid behind the classmates, and the teacher continued: "Sneakers are very important, but unfortunately, some of you don't wear sneakers, only some of you do." When Sarah heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and her feet moved toward

Moved forward.

Female teacher: "Okay, next. Bahari, it's your turn."

On the other side, Ali was holding his schoolbag and wearing slippers, standing in the doorway not far from his home. He looked back from time to time to see if anyone he knew was passing by.

Apparently he was waiting for his sister Sarah to send back the sneakers!

The girls swarmed out of the school gate, chatting and laughing in groups. Sarah rushed out from among them, walked through the alley diagonally opposite the school, and entered the bustling street. Then she turned into alleys one after another and ran forward quickly.

In the doorway of the alley, Ali looked longingly at the entrance of the alley, and had to pay attention to the movement behind him from time to time. After a while, Sarah's figure finally appeared

At the end of the alley, Ali shouted anxiously: "Hurry up!"

When his sister ran up to him, Ali couldn't help asking her angrily: "Why are you late?"

Sarah defended: "Where is it? I ran back."

Ali didn't have time to fight with her, so he urged: "Take off your sneakers quickly, I'm going to be late." He changed shoes with his sister and ran forward. Sarah watched him run away, and then turned around and headed home.

Go.

Ali walked through the alleys, ran onto the bustling streets, and ran towards the school without stopping.

Outside the boys' school where Ali attended, he stopped at the school gate, carefully pushed the ajar door open a crack, and peeked in secretly.

There was no one on campus, so he felt relieved and ran boldly towards the teaching building.

In the teaching building, the principal holding a wooden ruler came out of the office near the building door and walked towards the end of the corridor. Suddenly, there were heavy footsteps behind him. When he turned around, Ali had already run up the steps and turned to the second floor.

Lou. The principal shook his head helplessly.

In the courtyard of Ali's house, Sarah was sitting by the sink washing dishes. The courtyard door opened with a bang, and Ali walked in listlessly. He squatted down and drank a few water from the faucet, then sat down on the sink.

Sarah asked with concern: "Did you arrive at school on time?"

Ali: "I'm late, you have to come back early."

Sarah: "I'll be back as soon as get out of class is over."

Ali asked tentatively: "You didn't tell your mother, did you?"

Sarah: "I promise you won't tell." She put the washed bowl aside, lowered her head, and accidentally saw her brother's sneakers covered with mud, and complained dissatisfiedly: "The sneakers are so dirty, so embarrassing.

, I don’t want to wear it anymore.”

Ali: "Don't make excuses."

Sarah said seriously: "It's true, it's so dirty."
