Synopsis

After stubbing his toe, a little centipede decides he needs shoes for all his feet. He buys 100 shoes, only to discover he has just 42 legs! Putting on and taking off so many shoes becomes a tiresome task. Realising his mistake, he shares the extra shoes with his insect friends, turning his blunder into a delightful lesson in sharing and counting.
