ALISTAIR COOKIE: Good evening, and welcome to "Monsterpiece

Theater." Me your host, Alistair Cookie.

Tonight, "Monsterpiece Theater" proud to present

classic play, "The Taming of the Shoe," by William

Shoe-spear, famous podiatrist.

Trust me.

And now, "The Taming of the Shoe."

GROVERO: Oh, Shoe?

Shoe?

Wherefore art thou, shoe?

Oh, there you are.

Methinks I will put you on and walk to the Padua Mall.

SHOE: Unhand me, Grovero.

ALISTAIR COOKIE: Ho!

What a shoe you are.

I, Grovero, only want to put you on my foot

and tie up your laces.

You see?

Just like my other shoe.

SHOE: Fie!

I will not be tied to any foot.

GROVERO: But Shoe, I cannot walk to the Padua Mall with

only one shoe.

'Twould be embarrassing.

SHOE: Find yourself another shoe.

I walk alone.

GROVERO: Oh!

Fine.

Go ahead, you shoe.

See how far-est you can get without a foot.

SHOE: Eh.

Eh.

Eh!

Drat.

Methinks this is harder than me thought.

GROVERO: Ha!

I toldeth you so, Shoe.

Please, can we not cooperate?

SHOE: Cooperate?

GROVERO: Ah, yes.

You needeth a foot, and I needeth a shoe.

Let us walk together.

SHOE: All right.

But watch your step.

GROVERO: Fine.

I shall be very, very carefuleth.

Ah, there.

A-ha, gadzooks!

I have tamed the shoe.

SHOE: (WEAKLY) Yeah.

GROVERO: A-ha!

There now, Shoe.

Is not better when we cooperate?

And now we can walk to the mall.

SHOE: Forget it.

I don't wanna walk to the mall.

GROVERO: But-- but Shoe, I thought you

were going to cooperate.

SHOE: I wanna dance to the mall.

GROVERO: Dance?

OK-eth.

We can cooperate and danceth to the mall.

Hitteth it!

ALISTAIR COOKIE: So goes the course of shoe love.

This is Alistair Cookie of "Monsterpiece Theater" saying,

"To thine own self be shoe."

Ommm, nom, nom, nom, halp.
