The Elves and the shoemaker


           A shoemaker and his wife lived in a faraway village. They were both hardworking and kind. Because he was already getting old, the shoemaker could no longer made a shoes as he used to . He and his wife were always in need of money because there were less and less shoes to sell.

           One morning, the couple were surprised to find several new pairs of shoes at the shop. They wondered who made the shoes.
The old shoemaker brought the shoes to town and quickly sold them. He came home with a lot of money.
The next morning , the couple were once again surprised to find several pairs of newly sewn shoes at the shop. Again, the shoe maker sold the shoes in town and came home with more money. The couple decided to keep watch at the shop that night. At night, several elves appeared from nowhere and started sewing shoes.
The elves left before day break, leaving behind several pairs of beautifully made shoes.  The couple decided to repay the elves for their kindness. All day , they did nothing but sew new clothes and shoes for the elves. They left the clothes and shoes at the shop .
T hat night, the elves saw the clothes and shoes. They put them on before they sewed some more shoes.


Moral lesson : 
             " Be like the elves in this story and help elderly not only in their hours of needs but at all times."


Reflection: 
                  We must help other people especially to the needy and elderly people . Helping them by giving their needs and care. We must do our responsibility to them.
