A shoemaker named Burt lived with his wife Margaret. They were very poor. One day, Burt had no material to make shoes. But when they woke up the next day, they found a shining pair of beautiful shoes. They wondered as to who had made them. A man bought them. The next morning, Burt saw another pair of new shiny shoes. The couple decided to keep a watch that night to find out who the shoemaker was. At midnight, they saw two elves making shoes for them. The couple was shocked. Christmas was around the corner. They decided to make new clothes for them to thank them. On Christmas Eve, the elves came and saw the beautiful, tiny clothes. The elves were so happy with their new clothes that they sang and danced all night. They now knew that Burt the shoemaker and his wife no longer needed their help. So, they went away to help someone else in need.
