New Shoes

New Shoes

Gennaro is in this country for only 6 months.
He walks to work 20 blocks every day
and passes a shoe store.
Each day he stops and looks in the window
to admire the Boccelli patent leather shoes.
He wants those shoes so much...
it's all he can think about.

After about 2 months he saves the price
of the shoes, $300, and purchases them.

Every Friday night the Italian community
holds a dance in the church basement.

Gennaro seizes this opportunity to wear
his new Boccelli patent leather shoes for the first time.

He asks Sophia to dance and as they dance he asks her,
"Sophia, are you wearing red panties tonight?"

Startled, Sophia replies,
"Yes, Gennaro, I am wearing red panties tonight,
but how do you know?"

Gennaro answers,
"I see the reflection in my new
$300 Boccelli patent leather shoes.


Next he asks Rosa to dance,
and after a few minutes he asks,
" Rosa , are you wearing white panties tonight?"

Rosa answers,
"Yes, Gennaro, I am, but how do you know that?"

He replies,
"I see the reflection in my new
$300 Boccelli patent leather shoes.


Now as the evening is almost over and the last song is
being played, Gennaro asks Carmela to dance.

Midway through the dance his face turns red.

He states, "Carmela, be stilla my heart,
please, please tell me you wear no panties tonight,
please, please, tella me this is true!"

Carmela smiles coyly and answers,
"Yes Gennaro, I wear no panties tonight."
Gennaro gasps,
"Thanka God ...
I thought I had a CRACK in my new
$300 Boccelli patent leather shoes!"
