shoes once upon a time

in a land far far away

there was a very cute girl named Karen

she lived in a tiny house with her

mother

and was a very happy girl she would ask

her mother about

everything she was curious about mom

what are these tiny lights in the sky

they are stars, Karen

everyone who lives on earth eventually

turns into a star

and shines in the sky forever Karen only

had

one toy one dress

and a pair of wooden slippers she wore

on the street

the wooden slippers her mother made for

her were not very comfortable

but they were the only ones she had one

day

karen's mother got very sick

[Music]

so Karen went to town to buy medicine

for her mother

and along the way, she found a pair of

red shoes

in a box on the roadside

the shoes shone so beautifully

that Karen couldn't help but bring them

home with her

look mommy I found these by the roadside

aren't they beautiful just write to me

these may belong to someone else Karen

you should immediately take them back

but if they had an

owner, she wouldn't have left them there

with the box

maybe the owner dropped it accidentally

then they shouldn't have dropped it  i

found them

they belong to me now they're mine baby

to buy you new

shoes right now but I don't want you to

wear

someone else's shoes just because of

that

won't wear

these red shoes Karen sadly promised her

mother

not to wear red shoes and hid them

under her bed months passed by

until one day Karen came home

and couldn't find her mother in the

the house she looked all over

until she realized that her mother

had become a bright star

the next day on her way to her mother's

funeral

Karen put on those red shoes

those who came to the funeral couldn't

take their eyes off Karen's shoes

how dare she wear red so disrespectful

but Karen did not care because

she loved her shoes

a good-hearted old woman passed by the

cemetery

this old woman learned that this little

girl

was now an orphan and wanted to adopt

her come with

to live with the old woman for many

years

I love my red shoes oh

Karen don't be so stubborn

i promise Karen did not want to offend

the old woman

who had been so kind to adopt her so she

finally took off her red shoes and threw

them away

days passed until one day

Karen was playing in her new room with

her new clothes

and toys and the old woman brought her

a new pair of shoes but Karen didn't

like these shoes at all

but these are blue very ugly

I don't like them at all so for years to

come

Karen missed her red shoes a lot

she grew into a beautiful young lady but

her stubborn attitude

never changed even

when the old lady brought her gifts

I don't want to wear this thing but

I knit this for you

I'll never eat this food make me french

fries

at least take a little bite darling the

old woman

was very upset when Karen got up from

the table without having a meal

she made french fries for her and took

them to her room

at that time Karen was taking off her

blue shoes

I've grown up well come on then

let's buy you new clothes and shoes

then the old woman and Karen went to the

store

oh look just like my favorite red shoes

I must have them let's get these

Karen, you don't need fancy red

shoes you need shoes that you can wear

respectfully

like if we need to go to a funeral

I can only buy you one pair of shoes

let's buy those black ones and go home

I am very tired I don't care

if you don't buy both shoes I'll walk

barefoot everywhere from now on

little girl, I

wish it weren't so

stubborn the old woman

bought the black shoes for Karen and

spent the last of her money

to appease her with the red sparkly

shoes too

they had to walk home on foot the old

woman's feet

hurt a lot along the way and she could

not keep up

with the spoiled Karen and Karen didn't

care

she walked on home with her new red

shoes

[Music]

one day the old woman told Karen

that they needed to attend a funeral in

town

Karen be sure to put on your black shoes

otherwise, it will be disrespectful at

the funeral

Karen looked at the black shoes in her

room

and then at the bright red ones

she chose to put on the red shoes when

they left the house

she covered them up with her skirt so

the old woman

would not see the shoes

however at the funeral everyone

saw Karen's shoes shining brightly

under her skirt, they spoke amongst

themselves

about Karen's red shoes at the funeral

and about how disrespectful the shoes

were

when what was said came to the old

woman's ear

she got very angry

you didn't listen to what I told you

and you put on the red shoes again

you're so stubborn Karen

show some respect

a handsome young lord passing by at that

time

was struck by Karen's beauty

he came to her and went down on his

knees and gave her compliments

how beautiful you are and so delicate in

these beautiful shoes

Oh my lord you make me blush

you must be a very good dancer I invite

you to the dance night in the palace

tonight

please come with the happiness of the

lord's offer

Karen started dancing with joy but after

a while

Karen couldn't stop dancing

[Music]

why can't I stop my feet what is

happening

Karen started walking away from the old

lady and the lord

while she was dancing Karen

come back even though the lord chased

Karen for a while

he lost her Karen's red shoes

turned out to be more stubborn than

Karen

they took her to top of the mountain

and made her dance day and night for

three days

karen's feet hurt so much that she

screamed at every step

even though they got into the mud and

prickly needles stuck

the shoes kept dancing

enough I'm very tired

I won't be so stubborn from now on

I promise please stop

shoes please stop stop

and when Karen said she'd give up all

her stubbornness

the red shoes jumped off her feet and

Karen too fell to the ground and the red

shoes

kept on dancing without her

Karen found a stick and managed to limp

home

in pain, her legs hurt

a lot

she started to cry with happiness when

she saw her house

the old woman greeted her at the door

they hugged each other

i know I was very stubborn girl but i

promise I won't be like that anymore

after Karen gave up her stubbornness

things started to get better

[Music]

one day someone knocked on the door

it was the young and handsome lord

there you are Karen i tried to keep up

but you

danced so fast how did you do that

Karen was glad to see the handsome and

young lord

that was the day the Lord and Karen's

love

began leaving stubbornness behind

Kieran lived a happy and peaceful life

you
