    The little boy, hand in hand with his mom, entered the shoe store. His eyes widened as he looked at the rows of colorful shoes. He was excited to get a new pair.

    A friendly salesman approached them, greeting them with a warm smile. He knelt down to the boy's level, asking, 'What kind of shoes are you looking for, little buddy?'

    The salesman led them to the fitting area. He used a special device to measure the boy's feet. The boy giggled, ticklish as the device gently pressed against his feet.

    With the boy's shoe size in hand, the salesman brought out a few pairs of shoes. The boy tried them on one by one, looking at his feet in the mirror.

    The boy wasn't completely satisfied. He wanted to explore more options. So, they went back to the aisle, this time looking at different styles and colors.

    His mom paid for the shoes while the boy refused to take them off. Even the salesman chuckled, glad to see the boy so happy with his choice.
