“Something is wrong with my toes,” said Katie Woo. “They hurt when I walk or run. They hurt when I wiggle them, too. I think I have the ouches!”

“Your toes are fine,” said Katie’s mom. “Your shoes are the problem. You are growing so fast, they don’t fit you anymore.”

“Uh-oh,” Katie groaned. “I’d better slow down! If I keep growing fast, my feet will be as big as a horse’s or an elephant’s! ”

“No way,” said Katie’s dad. “I promise you will always have human feet.”

“Good!” said Katie. “I like being human.”

Katie told Pedro and JoJo about her big toes.

“My toes are so big, they poked a hole in my shoes,” bragged Pedro.

“My shoes are falling apart, too,” said JoJo.
