Do I know what I'm saying? Yes, yes. Oh, when I was a little girl, my mother bought me lovely little red shoes. Oh, so beautiful, these red shoes. Oh, I've been so naughty. I've been right around running and then going up, climbing in the tree, and I'm scratching. I'm scratching and I'm frightened to going back because my mother be mad at me for that. Oh dear, what shall I do? I'm sitting down outside and waiting. And my mother, this time in carriage, not in the car, you know, the carriage. She going shopping. When she going down to shopping and road, all the stones in road in our place. And then I saw, thinking, oh well, when she going and I'm running after her and crying. Yeah. When she went out, I jumped down on the road and after her I'm crying. I'm crying because the road is scratching. And Mother shouted, what you do? You be scratching it with your shoes!
