I would like to get my shoes polished. I do not have any money, but I have to be somewhere very important, immediately. The cobbler hesitated, as he not earned a single coin all day, but then he agreed to help the man. Cobbler: Sure Sir! I will help you. Please have a seat and place your foot on the stand.

His mother gave him three pieces of bread for lunch. Mother: Take this and please do be careful and look after yourself.  Ron: Don't worry mother!
