I’m looking for a picture book that I read to my kids in the 80’s about a miserly man in the middle east who refuses to throw away his old, stinky shoes. He gets in trouble with the Sultan at the public baths for his old shoes. He then tries many different ways to throw them away, and they keep coming back to cost him money and grief – he throws them into the reservoir and they end up clogging the city water pipes; he dries leaving them on the roof to dry, and a dog throws them off the roof onto a woman passing by down on the street – until he finally learns the lesson of throwing old things away when they are no longer useful.
