Have you ever heard of the Golden Rule?

It's an idea that goes all the way back to ancient Egypt actually.

But basically, the Golden Rule says that you should treat other people the way you want

to be treated.

Like if you want to borrow a friend's toy, maybe you can let your friend borrow one of your

toys sometime.

In today's story, we'll meet a shoemaker who extends kindness to someone in need and

what she gets in return she never saw coming.

I'm Rebecca Schier and welcome to Circle Round.

Where story time happens all the time.

Today our story is called the Red Leather Shoes.

Versions of this tale come from India in South Asia.

Some really great people came together to bring you our adaptation of this folktale, including

Mother Joffrey and Asif Mondvie.

Mother Joffrey is an award winning actress and chef who's written dozens of cookbooks.
