I have gotten to the part where the boy is loitering in front of the jewel shop, and can’t get past him. Help!
Yeah, this part is really tricky if I remember correctly. Let me think…

It has something to do with shoes if I remember correctly. And a ball you’re supposed to kick… I think. Hmm. I will have to check my transcript and get back to you. If I remember right, it’s a non-standard action, like removing your shoes or tying the laces together or something.

You have to distract the boy by throwing something at the same time you’re kicking the ball. Unfortunately, the parser won’t let you do so directly.
Thus, you’d have to throw something that’s attached to your feet.
One of your shoes. Just make sure it isn’t attached too firmly by…
… UNDOing your LACE.
BTW, which version of the game are you playing? The post-competition version should give you a direct hint in this respect if you hang out there long enough.
