Final answer:
Mrs. Jones and her actions are not referenced in the provided text excerpts, and as such, no accurate answer can be provided about what she gave the boy for shoes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The character Mrs. Jones does not directly appear in the provided references.
It is therefore impossible to confidently determine what Mrs. Jones gave the boy so he could buy shoes solely from these excerpts.
None of the provided excerpts mention a character named Mrs. Jones interacting with a boy or giving anything to assist in the purchase of shoes.
Thus, without specific knowledge or context from the source material that contains this character, one cannot give an accurate answer to this question.
