After 25 years away, a man comes back to his hometown in Ireland for the holidays.
He decided to explore his old neighborhood, and when he reached the building where he used to live, he noticed the shoemaker's shop across the street has not changed a bit.

He remembered how he used to pass this shop everyday. And then he remembered before he left, he dropped a pair of white loafers at the shop to be repaired, so he went in, thinking maybe the shop owner still has them and remembers him.
Indeed, the same guy, with a few more wrinkles and white hair, welcomed him. The visitor said,
"You won't believe this but I was your client 25 years ago. If I recall correctly, I left a pair of shoes before I left the country. You wouldn't still have them by any chance?"

The guy scratched his head.
"Are they white shoes?" he asked.
"Yes!"
"Let me check the back room."
From the back of the shop, the shoemaker shouted, They’re loafers, right? With blue stiches?”
"Oh my God, yes!" the man shouted back.
“Size 9.5?” asked the shoemaker.
"Are they white shoes?" he asked.
"Yes!"

"Exactly! I can't believe it. Can I have them?" the man asked.
The shoemaker replied,
“They’ll be readyTuesday.”
