The Elves and the Shoemaker is a gentle Brothers Grimm fairy tale about generosity and gratitude. A poor shoemaker has enough leather left to make only one final pair of shoes. He cuts the leather before going to bed, planning to finish his work the next morning. When he wakes, he finds a beautifully made pair of shoes waiting on his table.
