Goodie Two Shoes

Goodie Two Shoes

By Paul McCann

Miss Lisa Good lived alone in a corner house on Railway parade . It was always busy around her house with buses , cars and trains . Above her house was an overpass with traffic moving along at speed and opposite her house was a railway station . She always found it difficult to sleep with all the activity and noise . For years she had tried to play loud music in the house to drown out all the traffic noise but that only made matters worse . That also didn’t work too well as she became overtired which created another problem for her .

She consulted her doctor who made an appointment with a psychiatrist who in turn referred her to a hypnotherapist .

The after a few sessions the hypnotherapist was able to apply some pre-hypnotic suggestions in her life . Whenever things would get busy in her home , she would put on some dancing shoes and start dancing . The result of this was miraculous and Miss Lisa Good was unaware of the cognitive instructions that had she had been given so she found herself a new life and she loved dancing everyday .

She even started to dance in the street and in the shops and whenever and wherever things would start to get busy she automatically began to dance .

People around the town gave her the nickname of Goodie Two Shoes and most everyone loved it whenever she would start dancing .

At the end of everyday Goodie Two Shoes was so exhausted that she fell fast asleep until the morning  .

During the day people would always say to her ,

“ Tell me how ever did you learn to dance like that “

\But she had no answer for them , she just danced how she felt .

Her long hair always fell all around her face and shoulders as she danced  . She spun and jumped  and people would clap and say.

“We hope that you’ll be always coming around . You give us a life each time we see you Goodie Two Shoes “

Sometimes people would advise her to go on the stage and perform .

They would say

“Goodie Two Shoes , why don’t you do yourself a favour and try performing as a professional , what have you got to lose, .

Sometimes Goodie would dance around the places where the buskers would be singing and they would always love to see little goodie two shoes .

Some of the busker boys would say ,

“Hey Goodie Two Shoes , say you’ll come and walk with  me “

Others would say ,

“Goodie Two Shoes, you make me feel weak when I see you dance that way , my knees turn to jelly and I just go all squishy inside “

Goodie would laugh at their antics and say.’”  .

“You know boys , now’s your chance, so come on , let’s dance “

The boys were not really dancers they were singers and never took her offer but one or two would still, say to her .

“.Goodie I’m in love with you and hope you’ll come back again soon :”

Then came the day when they started building a new development opposite the railways station where Goodie Two Shoes lived and her little corner house was going to be demolished . She was a paid very generously by the developer who wouldn’t take no for an answer and Goodie Two Shoes was happy and sad about leaving her little corner house .

When she moved into her new apartment , it was in a quiet neighbourhood and as a result the pre-hypnotic suggestions failed to work and Goodie Two Shoes never felt the urge to dance . As time went on, she got more and more depressed and went to visit her  She consulted her doctor who made an appointment with a psychiatrist who referred her to a hypnotherapist who applied a new set of pre-hypnotic suggestions in her life . Whenever the silence of her new apartment would start to crowd her and the felt the walls closing in on her then she would feel the urge to dance .

Eventually Goodie Two Shoes returned her dancing again but in different places .

Now she had joined a ballet class and before long was appearing on stage before crowded audiences who loved to watch Goodie Two Shoes perform .

The End
