How shoes were invented?

How shoes were invented?

My childhood story.

In good and very good older days human beings did not used shoes. With bare feet only men walked on the road, jungle, rivers, mountains, ...
Once, there was a King. He had a little daughter. Once she walked on the road and suddenly one thorn or rose stuck to her leg.
She started crying. In the evening King ordered, "Let all our roads be covered by the leather of .....".
One of the Fakir/ Sadhu/ Sanyasi/ Monk heard this amazing order of the King. In the night itself, he went near the palace gate and requested security guards to let him meet the King.
Security guard first hesitated, but, as in those old good days these Fakirs were Revered like God (even today at some places), security guards called the King, wake him literally.
King was astonished to see a Fakir with teared cloths sitting in the waiting room.
King came and asked Fakir, "Whats it?"
Sadhu said, "Your Honour,... my lord, allow me to put my thoughts in straight forward words to save lives of over a million cattle."
King said, "Allowed".
Sanyasi said,"King, when a thorn stuck to Princess I heard you ordered to put leather on all the roads?"
King, "Yes, it's true."
Sadhu, "Please don't do that, people will kill millions of cattle; and thus we'll lose the milk and other important food ingredients in our food. Instead just know the size of your child's leg and make a covering for that. Thus, henceforth if she walks on the road nothing will harm her."
King, simply hug that beggarly looking Sadhu, who was trying good for all. Immediately cancelled his own order, awarded the Sadhu in the Royal Kingdom hall and made that Sanyasi his Advisor for life".

Thus, shoes and chappals and sleepers were invented.

Lesson from the story:

True. Human beings are doing what King did first, ordering massacre instead of putting simple things in order......
