Old Man Greo was known as the best shoemaker in the country. His shoes were light as leather and tough as steel. They were also expensive-- three times higher than anything else on the market. People who did not know his reputation were so shocked to hear what he charged they would say: "The old man must be making his shoes for his own amusement!" Greo was such a skilled craftsman, he could make any kind of shoe the customer ordered, but he was best at, and most enjoyed making, thick-soled traveling shoes. "You've done some good traveling, I see..." His legs were gone from the knees down. "Uh-huh."
