Shoemaker and the Elves

The shoemaker and his wife got hard to work. They carefully watched the elves each night and specially designed clothes for each one. After 14 days they had clothes and shoes for each of the elves. One evening, instead of putting out the pieces of leather onto the worktable, the shoemaker and his wife placed the clothes and the tiny shoes on the table for the elves. They left a few candles burning and hid in the closet as they had done before.
