The Elves and the Shoemaker - Luke

Long ago there was a Shoemaker who was very poor and his wife was too. They lived in a village with no money. They only had enough leather to make one pair of shoes. A rich lady came in to buy a pair of shoes. The rich lady bought the pair of shoes and gave him five silver coins. Then he had enough money to buy food and two pieces of leather to make two pairs of shoes. He laid out the leather and went to bed. The Elves came in and set to work. In the morning there were two pairs of lovely fine shoes. A rich man came in and bought the two pairs of lovely shoes. He had enough money to buy four pairs of shoes. He laid out the four pairs of leather and went to bed. That night the Elves came in and set to work. The next morning there were four pairs of lovely shoes. A rich man came in and bought the pairs of shoes. It happened over and over again. They wanted to find out who is making the shoes. They stayed up at night and watched who did it. It was some Elves making the shoes. So they decided to make some clothes for the Elves. They wrapped the presents and put them on the counter then the Elves came in and saw the presents and realized that they were for them. They all lived happy for ever.
