"Be proud of doing something honorable that you think might bring you shame at first," Grandma always told us before telling us this favorite family story.
In 1918, Grandpa worked in a shoe repair shop. He labored on the night shift so that he would be free to take care of the children in the daytime, allowing Grandm a to attend school and receive an education.
On the morning of her first class, Grandm a excitedly rushed to dress for school. As she excitedly took out all her old socks, Grandma became sad. She discovered all had many holes. "Forget it, dear. We have no time to repair them now," urged Grandpa. "You'll be late for class. And, anyway, I have a surprise for you!"
A moment later, Grandpa handed Grandma her old high-button shoes. But she could hardly recognize them, as they had been repaired and looked beautiful. While she was sleeping that night, Grandpa secretly repaired the shoes.
Grandma's eyes welled with tears of gratitude, "I'll look like a fine lady in these wonderful shoes!" she said. "Hurry! Put on a pair of long socks and the beautiful shoes, and no one will suspect you have honey socks. They'll be our little secret," Grandpa promised. Grandm a nodded and rushed out when Grandpa handed her two one-dollar bills for her tuition.
Arriving at school, Grandma felt uneasy in a classroom filled with strangers. Standing ahead was a serious-looking teacher called Miss Peabody. That morning, Miss Peabody passed an empty bowl around the classroom and instructed each student to drop the fees into it. Every student did that. One student paid his fee with a bright two-dollar gold coin.
After collecting all the money, the teacher placed the bowl on her desk. Later that afternoon, when Miss Peabody counted the money, the small gold coin accidentally slipped out of the bowl and fell into Grandma's shoe. Unaware of it, Miss Peabody discovered the coin was missing. She felt quite anxious and searched around, but in vain.

Meanwhile, Grandma felt convinced that the thing in her shoe must be the coin.
Hesitant but determined, Grandma removed her shoe, feeling everyone's gaze on her honey sock.
