lady who lived in a shoe

 

My name is Shoe. I am a shoe. I think about shoes and about shoes and other things, because that is what I do for a living.Whenever someone asks me "Hey Shoe! What's your favorite thing to think about?" the answer is, of course: Shoes!I like all kinds of shoes too- stilettos, loafers, combat boots- you name it.

 One is that her husband was called “Shoe”—thus making his name “Shoo.”Many people now believe that this is just an old wives’ tale, albeit one with humor value.

 However, it does appear that at least one person actually claimed to have met someone who had once worn their shoes so tight they could not take them off again.The tale of the woman who lived in a shoe is a classic fairy tale that dates back centuries, though it is difficult to date the earliest iteration.

 One popular theory suggests that the story originated as a folktale from Spain, where it was set in Iron Age Castile.In the original story, The Emperor of Morocco sends an envoy to Spain disguised as an old beggar woman, and asks for food from aristocrats.

 When she makes it into the Spanish court, she's so hungry that she breaks open one of her shoes because there's nothing to eat inside.

 They saw "no joy in playing" with other children in town because they were not allowed outside their home. The giant shoe-house provides a measure of seclusion but also seems to inhibit or constrain their lives within it.The story begins with a woman who lives in a shoe.

 The woman, whose name is never given, has so many children that her family cannot all fit inside her house. In fact, they have to live outside.
