Shoemaker and the Elves

 As the grandfather clock struck midnight, there was a glimmer and a hum in the air. Suddenly the window blew open. In through the window came a little man with pale skin and pointed ears, wearing nothing more than rags. It was an elf! A few more jumped though the window, almost knocking the first elf over. Soon there were elves dancing, leaping, and even flying, and all working very fast.
