Little Betty Blue loses one holiday shoe, and the simple fix is to give her another to match. A small, tidy problem-and-solution rhyme that very young children follow easily.

From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.

Little Betty Blue
    Lost her holiday shoe;
What shall little Betty do?
    Give her another
    To match the other
And then she'll walk upon two.
