From the short article above, it can be seen that a pair of shoes is just an insignificant thing for many people, but for this family, for Ali and his sister, it is an extremely important thing.
Sarah began to believe it when she saw her brother's appearance: "The shoes are really missing?"
Ali said nervously: "Don't tell mom, I will find it."
Sarah became even more anxious: "Then how will I go to school tomorrow?" After saying that, she curled her lips and tears welled up.
Ali quickly advised: "Don't cry, I'll look for you right away and I'll definitely find you."
Sarah wiped away her tears: "But you have searched everywhere."
Ali said quickly: "I haven't searched them all yet."
After saying that, he started to walk out. As soon as he reached the door, he turned around and told his sister worriedly: "Please, don't tell mom."
As soon as the camera turned, Ali ran down the steps in three steps and put on his shoes. He saw his mother working with her back to this side and ran out in a hurry. When his mother heard the noise, she shouted at his back: "Ali,
Where are you going? Come help me collect the rugs, Ali!"
Ali ignored it, buried his head and ran outside.
His mother's voice still came from behind him: "Ali, Ali, where are you going?"
He ran out along the alley, passed through a doorway, and came to a small open space where a group of boys were playing football.
When the little boy guarding the goal saw Ali running over, he hurriedly shouted: "Ali, we will play against the Xia Ying team tomorrow."
Ali stood for a moment, then continued running around the corner.
"Where are you going?" The boy guarding the gate wanted to chase him, but then he remembered that he was guarding the gate and quickly returned to his original position.
Ali ran all the way and came to the opposite side of the vegetable store. He gradually slowed down and looked forward. Then he ran two steps and hid behind a trolley stacked with wooden crates and other waste.
The head is observing the opposite side.
Across the alley was the vegetable shop that Ali had visited before. The shopkeeper was greeting a male customer. After the customer left, he started to collect the vegetable leaves on the counter with his back to the door.
Ali saw this opportunity, bent down and ran to the place where he had put his shoes, opened the wooden box and searched carefully.
The shop owner walked out with a large pile of rotten vegetable leaves. When he saw Ali, he couldn't help but yelled: "What are you doing again? Didn't I tell you to go away?" Ali was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
The vegetable shop owner stood there and cursed: "How annoying!"
Ali ran to the bustling street, with the mosque in front of him. He slowed down and politely greeted an acquaintance who was busy outside the temple: "Hello, Osoy."
Osoy responded: "Hello."
Ali walked straight to the water pipe next to the temple and drank a few sips of cold water. Osuoyi asked smoothly: "Are you going home?"
Ali: "Yes."
"Wait, do me a favor." Osuoyi returned to the temple. After a while, he took out a white cloth bag and said: "This is the candy for the memorial service. Please chop it up."
Ali took it listlessly and said, "Okay."
Osoy: "Hold it."
At the same time, at Ali's house, Ali's father used a hammer to smash large pieces of candy into small pieces the size of his fingertips. He apparently heard Ali's mother's description of what happened during the day and was furious.
Chu Lai: "You don't have to worry about the landlord. It's my business to deal with him. Why are you arguing with him?"
The mother was half lying on the carpet, leaning against the quilt, looking at her husband at a loss.
"I'm going to teach him a lesson and break his neck! I'm going to tell him to calm down." The father became more and more angry. He simply put down the work in his hands and yelled at his wife with gesticulations: "Why?
Don’t you listen to me? Didn’t the doctor tell you not to do things or get angry? Why are you washing those things? The carpet will be very wet.”
When he got angry, he pointed the finger at little Ali again: "Why didn't you help when your mother called you?"
Ali was so frightened by his father's anger that he did not even dare to express his anger.
The father continued to scold his wife and children, issuing a series of complaints: "You have to be patient, I will come back to handle everything. What is your duty at home? Apart from eating and sleeping, you only know how to play? You are not young anymore.
I'm 9 years old. When I was 9 years old, I could already help my parents. Why do you make me angry? You are an idiot and you don't understand?" Ali's tears welled up in his eyes, and finally he couldn't stop "plop, plop"
The ground fell.
The father's shouting woke up the sleeping baby. The mother coaxed the child and took the opportunity to whisper to her husband: "Okay, don't be angry."
My father's anger seemed to have subsided for the most part, and he continued to do his work, but he still muttered: "They will make me angry."
Sara collected the clothes that her mother had dried up one by one during the day. When she came to the steps and was about to enter the house, she suddenly saw a few pairs of shoes piled randomly under the steps. She couldn't help but froze, and then threw the slippers on her feet angrily.
On my brother's broken sneakers.
In the room, Sarah came in silently with clothes in her arms and threw them on the bedding pile in the corner. Her brother was still crying and coughing.
Sarah took her books from the low cabinet, knelt on the carpet side by side with her brother, and prepared to do her homework.
The mother coaxed the baby beside her and said irritably and worriedly: "I don't understand why the baby is uncomfortable all day."
Then she told her daughter: "Sarah, give your dad some tea." She felt a little uncomfortable, so she put her arms on her head and leaned back.
Sarah stood up obediently, took the teapot from the tea stove behind her, filled a cup of tea and put it on a tray for her father.
Dad: "Thank you."
Sarah squatted down and helped her father collect the candy scattered beside him.
Dad said: "I pour tea for people all day long at the company, and only Sarah's tea is the best." He patted the sugar residue stuck on his hand, took the cup, and found that there was no sugar: "Sarah, you
No sugar bowl."
Sarah pointed to the pile of candy in front of her: "Isn't there candy here?"
Dad: "This is the candy from the mosque. They gave it to us because they trusted us."
Mom: "Get some candy from the jar."
Dad: "What, we are out of candy?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mom: "I took the discount coupon to the grocery store, but the candy is not in stock yet."
Dad: "Leave him alone, he doesn't care about current affairs at all. Only sell when you are happy. Give me the discount coupon first, and I will buy it from the company's welfare club."
Mom: "Under the rug."
At this time, the little baby started to cry again.
Mom: "Oh, what's wrong?"
Sarah helped her father put the candies together again, and then returned to the original place. She did not do her homework, but turned to the blank page of her book to write something, and at the same time she whispered: "Ali, I don't have any shoes.
How will you go to school tomorrow?"
Her voice was immediately interrupted by her mother's voice: "You go to the company welfare club tomorrow..."
Sarah heard that her mother was talking to her father and did not pay attention to her. She breathed a sigh of relief, opened the book and sent it to Ali, and then pretended to read.
Mom: "The nutritious milk is gone too. Let's buy some by the way."
Dad: "No problem."
Ali looked at the book, then looked up at his sister, who was also staring at him with a small brow. Looking at his parents again, he found that they were only chatting and not paying attention to what was going on here.
Dad: "Aga's wife has a herniated disc. Eating sugar will make it worse. You have to learn to adapt to this disease."
Mom: "What do you want me to do? Do nothing all day long?"
Dad: "The doctor said I can't work."
Mom: "Kanaan's sister had surgery and is in good condition."
Ali finished writing and handed the notebook back to Sarah.
Dad: "Don't mention surgery..."
After seeing this, Sarah pouted, frowned, and stared at Ali dissatisfied.
Dad: "...I don't want you to become disabled."
Sarah wrote again: "Ali, you are so outrageous, you lost my shoe."
Ali glanced at his sister and looked at his parents from time to time.
Sarah then added: "I want to tell dad."
Dad seemed to be aware of something and glanced at them from time to time. Sarah quickly pretended to read a book, and Ali pretended to do homework, hiding it from his father's eyes.
Sarah took the notebook written by her brother and read in a low voice but quickly: "Sarah, then we will both get beaten. He won't have money to buy you new shoes."
Over there, the parents' conversation is still going on, and here, the notebook is still being passed between the brother and sister.
Sarah wrote: "So what do I do?"
Ali replied: "You can wear my sneakers, and I will go to school when you go home."
Sarah sternly refused: "No."
Ali concluded by writing: "Please."
Sarah took the notebook and looked at it, picking at the end of the pencil with her fingers and still not writing. It was obvious that she felt a little soft-hearted.
At this time, Ali lost no time in placing a sharpened new pencil on his sister's notebook: "Here you go."
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."
Ali smiled mischievously: "Then let's take a bath." After that, he threw a handful of fish food into the pool behind him. Several goldfish in the water quickly gathered around him.
