  1. The Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    The people at present wear shoes. Long ago when shoes were scarce the people used to carry shoes on their backs when going to town and when they came near the town put them on and when coming from town again they took them off. All the children in our district go bare foot in summer. Children begin to wear shoes when they are well able to walk.
