Mephistopheles Doufis & The Bearer of Bad Shoes

This short story is the tale of Mephistopheles Doufis, a young coffee shop owner in the far-off land of Ronzinia, who decides it is time for his country to be represented in the Olympic Games. With this in mind, he hits the Internet to find the proper equipment. He lights upon the fact that Red Ball Keds make you run faster and jump higher (which is, of course, incorrect) and orders a pair immediately.

From the moment he gets a partial delivery of only one shoe, to his arrival in America, things never quite go as planned...yet through unicycles and monks and donkeys and the torch, Mephistopheles Doufis is a hero for all the ages.
