  1. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people used not wear shoes until they were twenty years. Others used get the first pair of shoes when they were getting married. They went barefooted all the year round.
    Nowadays children wear shoes when they are one or two years. They go barefooted in the Summer for about six months. In the Winter they wear their shoes because the weather is cold. The children wash their feet every night.
