It was a very hot day in the middle of summer, and there were no trees along the street.
Mr. Smith closed his shop at half past five, went out into the street, and walked to the bus. He was very fat. The sun shone straight down the street, and in a few minutes, Mr. Smith felt very hot.
A small boy came out of another shop in the street and went after Mr. Smith. He stayed very near him all the time and kicked Mr. Smith's shoes a few times. Mr. Smith looked at him angrily each time.
After the fourth time, Mr. Smith stopped, turned, and said to the small boy, "What are you doing here? Stop going after me like that! You're going to hurt my feet."
"I'm sorry, but don't stop me, please!" the small boy said. "It is very hot today, and there isn't any shade anywhere else in the street!"
