Natural speed, as it is for use in English as a foreign language classes, please.

The main characters of this story are; a poor little boy dressed in ragged clothes and another boy who seemed to belong to a wealthy family. The story began as the poor little boy, scruffy in appearance, was trying to repair his broken shoe when suddenly his eyes focused on shiny black shoes worn by a boy similar to his age. The unfortunate boy began to dream if he could ever wear such shiny beautiful shoes.

In the next scene, the poor boy was sitting on the ground around the railway track, while the rich boy was sitting with his father, waiting for the arrival of the train. As the train arrived, the boy along with his father rushed towards the train. While boarding the train, one of his shoes slipped off and fell on the ground. The poor boy saw the shoe lying; he remembered that he had seen them before. The train started moving, he saw the boy looking at his shoe from the passenger train door.

The poor boy picked up the shoe and started running after the train in an attempt to give the shoe back. He ran desperately after the train but was unable to catch up with it. In vain, he threw the shoe as far as he could, hoping that the boy standing on the door could catch it. But the train moved faster and the shoe fell down on the track.

To our amazement, the boy inside the train began to smile, took off his other pair and threw it on the platform where the poor boy was standing. The clip ended with the two boys smiling and waving at each other.
