Remember: An ad is made to sell, and a paid presenter is still an ad. Pause, wait a day and ask a grown-up.
Hugo and the Spring shoes
Read the story first. Then answer.
Captain Zip's shoesCaptain Zip held up glowing Spring shoes and said, "With Spring shoes you can jump over a house, and everyone has a pair!" Hugo wanted them today. His friend Lena pointed at a tiny tag in the corner that said ad. Opa explained, "An ad is made to sell. The company paid Captain Zip, so he may say he loves them, and maybe he does not." Hugo and Lena tried jumping in their old shoes, and both jumped about as high as a cushion. Opa said ads show the best bits. Hugo marked a calendar. After three days the fizzy feeling was gone. Later his old shoe got a hole, and he and Opa compared a few pairs together.
