“We now have enough money to buy dinner and to buy leather for two more pairs of shoes,” the shoemaker said happily.That evening he cut leather for two pairs of shoes and left it on his workbench.
Amazingly, the next morning, there were four pairs of new, fancy shoes. The shoemaker and his wife sold all four and made more money. “I must discover who is making these shoes,” said the shoemaker to his wife. So, they decided to stay awake and watch the workbench all night.
That evening, two tiny elves in tattered clothes tip-toed into the workshop. They began to sew the leather into beautiful shoes.
