Children of Heaven description

Red shoes that have seen there last grand days of usage are undergoing plastic surgery by the shoemaker. The shoemaker rapidly laces the string in and out of the shoes open wound. Within minutes, the shoe has undergone a transformation that, although not brand new, has the shoe working again.
The boy, small but fast, grabs the shoes and hurriedly takes them along the dusty streets. Before delivering the shoes, the boy runs into a grocery store. While shopping, the boys shoes have become lost. He runs home, hoping that the shoes master won't ask where they are. The shoes' master is waiting, her eyes staring up to the little boy with excitement. What does the boy tell her? That the shoes made it through surgery? Yes. That they look almost brand new? Yes. That the shoes have become lost, somewhere in between the tomatoes and celery?
