The little old lady tells the shoes to get out of her way and that she is not afraid, but they continue to follow her. She also runs into pants, a shirt, gloves, and a hat on her walk. Each time she starts to walk faster, but isn’t afraid. Finally, she runs into a big pumpkin head and runs all the way home.
