The Elves and the Shoemake Once upon a time, there lived a poor shoemaker and his wife. The shoemaker was a hard worker. However, he only had enough leather for today's work. Oh, no. What do I do now? I am an old shoemaker But I don't have any leather left If I'm going to make shoes tomorrow, I'll need some more leather. The morning after, the shoemaker was very surprised. Oh, my goodness! Who made this nice pair of shoes? Wow. What fabulous shoes! I've never seen anything like these before. She loved the shoes so much that she paid more than expected. With the money, the shoemaker could buy enough leather for two pairs of shoes. Now I can make more shoes tomorrow. Honey, could you come here and take a look at this? Surprisingly, the next morning, he saw two pairs of shoes sitting on the table. Oh, my! Someone has come again to make these shoes. Morning after morning, new pairs of shoes kept appearing on the table. Shiny shiny leather shoes New shoes Leather shoes Shiny shiny leather shoes Here they are again! The shoemaker made a lot of money by selling those shoes. Hmm. Now, who in the world could be making these shoes every night? Why don't you stay up tonight and see? That night, the shoemaker and his wife hid behind the door and waited. Shhh. We are the little helping elves La la la la la la la la Stitch the shoes with needle and thread La la la la la la la la We make shoes all together La la la la la la la la We are the little helping elves It's getting light outside. Hurry then. Everyone, hurry! Oh, wow! It was the elves who made all of those shoes for us. With Christmas just around the corner, why don't we make gifts for them? So, the shoemaker and his wife made clothes and shoes for the elves. As midnight struck. the elves returned. Hey, what's this on the table? Wow! Look at this beautiful little coat. These shoes fit perfectly! The elves danced and sang with Christmas cheer. The shoemaker and his wife were very pleased to see the little elves.
