Try on the Slippers

You go inside and take off your jacket. What a day! You don't feel like doing much except sitting around the house, perhaps with a fire in the fireplace and a cup of beef broth in your hand. Or perhaps coffee. That would be good, too.

You put down the box of slippers and eye it suspiciously. There must be some catch, or else the slippers would not have been given to you for free. You decide to try them on, but only to see if they fit. They will not, you tell yourself.

And you are right! Well, sort of. They seem far too small, and they make your socks feel both lumpy and scratchy at the same time. In fact, you can barely keep the slippers on your feet at all. Maybe they were not meant to be worn with socks . . . or maybe they are just cheap slippers unfit to be worn by anyone.
