Contest alert- All in one contest WK6: Writing expedition _ The Shoemaker’s Destiny
Once happened in a bustling city of Uyo, a very young and vibrant shoemaker named Mfon lived with a simple dream, to craft one of the finest shoes in town. Unlike others, he had never rushed his work. He so much believed that a good shoe carries not just a foot, but more of a person’s destiny.

- One sunny afternoon, a wealthy businessman surprisingly stormed into his workshop, really frustrated that his imported Italian shoes kept on tearing after just a few weeks. He laughed at Mfon’s tiny shop and then scoffed, “What good can a village shoemaker like you do better than any of my Italian brand?”
Mfon knew his frustrations but only smiled and replied, “Sir, a shoe must always know the road it walks on, not just the name it carries.” So reluctantly, the man agreed to let him make a pair for him.
- Mfon worked with patience as always, selecting tough local leather and seamlessly stitching with extra care. When the shoes were done for fitting, the man furiously slipped them on and was really stunned to the outcome. They were so firm yet , sturdy, comfortable and stylish. Over the time, those shoes carried him throug many long journeys, business trips, and even heavy rains without a tiny scratch.

A year later, the businessman gladly returned, this time not with mockery but with gratitude. He definitely admitted, “You’ve taught me that true value is not in the appearances or by big names, but in skill, honesty, and of course dedication.”
- Ans now, Mfon’s little shop became the most sought-after in the city, reasons is not because of the flashy signs he sample, but because of the trust and quality.
So dometimes in life, greatness is not found in all those foreign names or flashy titles, but in the quiet hands that genuinely work with truth. Mfon’s shoes didn’t just carry the feet, they carried respect, trust, and destiny itself definitely.
