BR 2-08: The Elves and the Shoemaker (Daynes, 2004)


"Two little elves rushed in, wearing nothing but rags. They sat down at the table and quickly began to sew. "

This is a story about shoemaker and elves. An old shoemaker lived with his wife in a room above their work shop. He was a good shoemaker. However, once, a crafty shoe seller had set up a table at the end of their street. His shoes were badly sewn, with poor leather, but he sold them at a bargain price. They were cheap shoes, but local people bought them. Old shoemaker was in trouble.

However, his shoes shop became popular again, because elves made good shoes. This story is famous   in the world. I think this is like a lesson for life. I want to live obediently. It is important thing.
