Missalice Too Big To Fit

Swannie accepts Christy's gift of beans and cornbread and tells her that she fully intends to repay the gift. When Christy notices that Mountie isn't wearing shoes, Ms. O'Teale tells her that Mountie's shoes have worn out and she now has to wear a pair of her brother's. The shoes are too big for the little girl and she pulls them off because they hurt her feet. Christy pulls a brand new pair of shoes out of her purse and gives them to Mountie. Swannie tells Christy that she can't accept the gift but Christy explains that Mountie won them in a spelling contest. Ms. O'Teale relents and Christy places the shoes on Mountie's feet, proclaiming them a perfect fit . . .
