In the back of his cobbler shop lived an old shoemaker and his wife. Business had been bad lately, as his eyesight was growing dim and his stiff, bent fingers found it more difficult to make the neat, even stitches his customers preferred. One day, he was down to his last piece of leather, which he cut so very carefully in hopes of making one more pair of shoes to sell to help his wife and himself survive just a little longer. He closed the door to his shop, and he and his wife ate their dinner and settled down for the night.

Upon awakening the next morning, he was astounded to find a finished pair of shoes sitting on the work table! The stitches were perfect, and the shoes were the finest his shop had seen in a very, very long time. As luck would have it, a customer came in that day and purchased the shoes for a hefty price, and the old shoemaker was able to purchase two more pieces of leather which he carefully cut into pieces for sewing the next day. Yet the next day, lo and behold, two more marvelously crafted pairs of shoes awaited him on the work table! The aged shoemaker clasped his hands together in delight, and he was able to double his profits again that day. This pattern continued for weeks until finally, the old man decided to keep watch while hidden to see who his benefactors were. His wife decided to join him.

Hidden from view from the work table, the old shoemaker and his wife waited silently. They were flabbergasted to see two small, naked elves set to work on the cut pieces of leather on the table. The elves hummed to themselves all night long until the shoes were finished, and then they disappeared into the early morning light. Having quite a bit of profit now, the old woman chose some fine cloth and the old man bought the best leather, then they set about making tiny shoes, pants, shirts, and jackets for the little elves. That night, they left their gifts on the work table as a sign of their gratitude and hid once again to see their little friends.

"Oy, lookie here, mate!" said the elf with ginger hair. His bearded companion said, "Well, I'll be - it's clothes!" They hastened to dress, then grasped hands and danced in circles on the work table. "Good fortune to you, kind shoemaker!" they whispered. "Our work is done!" And they disappeared into the night, leaving the shoemaker for good, but with enough wealth to live out his days.
