Presenting the Shoe

When my people come back from being gone for any length of time, be it 10 minutes or two hours, it's important protocol to present the shoe upon their return. It's a small, simple ceremony in which I display one of their misplaced foot coverings and parade for a few minutes until they acknowledge the presenting of the shoe. The pomp has evolved since I was merely a shoe redistribution agent. On occasion, a sneaker ends up out of doors. This is normally a heinous breech of protocol and often results in an amusing chase, but today it provoked a case of displeasure-slowing charm, and I got away with it.
