The ELVES and the SHOEMAKER

The Elves and the Shoemaker

Paul Galdone

There was a shoemaker.

He was poor.

One day, he cut the leather at night to prepared for the next morning.

Next morning, he went to his work shop and he found the pair of shoes made and finished.

He was very much astonished.

They were made very well.

The shoemaker bought leather for shoes.

He cut the leather at night and  prepared for the next morning.

But when he got up, These shoes already made.

He wanted to know who did it and he and his wife decided to fint out.

When they were watching, two elves came and they began to make shoes.

The shoemaker and his wife decided to present them clothes and shoes.

The shoemaker put it on the table instead of the leather.

When elves came and found it, they were surprised and pleased.

I thought these elves are very kind.

I thought because the shoemaker is a  good man, so the elves helped him.

I want elves to visit me and I want them to help me.
