He cleaned it up, removed the seats and placed big containers down both sites of the aisle(通道). When all was ready, the whole Family helped to put the shoes in place. At first， it looked like we had plenty of room on the bus, but Dad kept bringing home more boxes. There was no sign on the Shoe Bus.

To this day I still run into people who talk about the fun they had searching for pairs in Dad's Shoe Bus. 1、The author's parents ran their store well because A．they always had enough supplies in store B．they won the great support of new salesmen C．they opened it in a very crowded neigh
