Kindergarten-Grade 2-A newly illustrated version of the ever-satisfying tale of a poor shoemaker and his wife who become rich when elves create splendid shoes for them to sell, and who return the favor by making outfits for the elves.

Once upon a time, through sheer bad luck, an honest shoemaker became so poor that he had nothing left in his workshop except enough leather to make a single pair of shoes.
