  5. The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes

The story popularized the phrase "goody two-shoes", often used to describe an excessively virtuous person, a do-gooder. Goody Two-Shoes is a variation of the Cinderella story. The fable tells of Goody Two-Shoes, the nickname of a poor orphan girl named Margery Meanwell, who goes through life with only one shoe. When a rich gentleman gives her a complete pair, she is so happy that she tells everyone she has "two shoes".
