The story The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything is about an old woman who goes for a walk in the woods. As she continues home, it begins to get dark and she runs into a pair of shoes! The little old lady tells the shoes to get out of her way and that she is not afraid, but they continue to follow her. She also encounters a pair of pants, a shirt, gloves, and a hat on her walk.
