In class I chose The Elves and the Shoemaker this week and read it. I remembered the story roughly but I totally forgot the ending of it.
Long time ago there was a old shoemaker. He lived with his wife, but they were very poor because of the time was hard. One day finally they had only one leather to make a single pair of shoes. The shoemaker put it on the table and decided to make it tomorrow morning. He went to bed. The next morning the shoemaker found one pair of shoes on the table instead of the leather! The shoes was so fancy. He said, "I go to a market to sell it!" The shoes were sold at the market and he got a bag of gold. He bought more leather to make shoes. The next day there were some fancy shoes again!!! That continued for a few month and the shoemaker and his wife became very rich. They were very curious...they thought "who was making those shoes?" So they decided to find out that one night. They didn't go to sleep and they were hiding behind a curtain. When it became midnight, two little elves came out and began to make shoes. They danced and left. The shoemaker and his wife were so surprised and found out that the elves were wearing old clothes. So they made new outfits and shoes for the elves. They put them on the table instead of the leather. The next day the elves came out again. They found the outfits and shoes and put on them. They looked very happy and danced. Since that day the shoemaker and his wife never saw the two elves again. However they lived happily after that.

It was very lovely story too. How can the little elves make shoes? I'm so curious! By the way, I cannot imagine how elves look like...Are they child?? Maybe not. So who are they??? Hum...I have no idea!!!
