This is the story of Thomas and how he came to acquire these beautiful new mandals.
One of his mandals was destroyed in a
violent attack a long time ago, and the other one died last weekend.
But that sure didn't stop Thomas from wearing them. These "Faded Glorys" from the WalMart's were discontinued, and they were all he had.
We searched and searched for a replacement pair. Thomas tried on fake Birkenstocks everywhere he could. He tried on women's sandals. We even looked for them in Canada. But nothing matched the comfort and price of those busted-up, 9-dollar mandals.
And then.....
A pair of generous
patrons of the arts suddenly came to town and took pity on poor Thomas. Now he is a proud owner of genuine German Birkenstocks. The lady at the store said they would last 30 years.
He couldn't be happier. The end!

Nice mandals! Do you carry a murse, as well? I think you can buy those at Walmart.
