There was once a shoemaker, who worked very ADVERB and was very ADJECTIVE : but still he could not earn enough to live upon; and at last all he had in the world was gone, save just NOUN enough to make one pair of NOUN.
Then he cut his NOUN out, all ready to make up the next day, meaning to VERB early in the morning to his work. His NOUN was clear and his NOUN light amidst all his troubles; so he went ADVERB to NOUN, left all his cares to Heaven, and soon PAST TENSE VERB . In the morning after he had VERB his prayers, he sat himself down to his work; when, to his great wonder, there stood the NOUN all ready made, upon the table. The ADJECTIVE man knew not what to VERB or VERB at such an ADJECTIVE thing happening. He looked at the workmanship; there was not one ADJECTIVE stitch in the whole job; all was so neat and true, that it was quite a NOUN.
The same day a NOUN came in, and the NOUN suited him so ADJECTIVE that he willingly paid a price higher than usual for them; and the ADJECTIVE shoemaker, with the money, bought NOUN enough to make two pairs more. In the evening he VERB out the work, and went to bed ADJECTIVE , that he might get up and begin betimes next day; but he was saved all the trouble, for when he got up in the NOUN the work was done. Soon in came PLURAL NOUN , who paid him handsomely for his PLURAL NOUN , so that he bought leather enough for NUMBER pair more. He VERB out the work again overnight and found it done in the morning, as before; and so it went on for some time: what was got ready in the evening was always done by daybreak, and the good man soon became ADJECTIVE and well off again.
One evening, about Christmas-time, as he and his wife were VERB over the fire VERB together, he said to her, ‘I should like to sit up and watch tonight, that we may see who it is that comes and does my work for me.’ The wife liked the thought; so they left a NOUN burning, and VERB themselves in a PLACE of the room, behind a NOUN that was hung up there, and watched what would happen.
As soon as it was midnight, there came in two ADJECTIVE ADJECTIVE dwarfs; and they sat themselves upon the shoemaker’s NOUN, took up all the work that was cut out, and began to VERB with their ADJECTIVE fingers, VERB and VERB and VERB away at such a rate, that the shoemaker was all wonder, and could not take his BODY PART off them. And on they went, till the job was quite done, and the NOUN stood ready for use upon the table. This was long before daybreak; and then they bustled away as quick as NOUN.
The next day the wife said to the shoemaker. ‘These little wights have made us rich, and we ought to be thankful to them, and do them a good turn if we can. I am quite sorry to see them VERB about as they do; and indeed it is not very decent, for they have nothing upon their BODY PART to keep off the cold. I’ll tell you what, I will make each of them a ARTICLE OF CLOTHING , and a ARTICLE OF CLOTHING and ARTICLE OF CLOTHING , and a pair of ARTICLE OF CLOTHING into the bargain; and do you make each of them a little pair of ARTICLE OF CLOTHING .’
The thought pleased the ADJECTIVE cobbler very much; and one evening, when all the things were ready, they laid them on the NOUN, instead of the work that they used to cut out, and then went and VERB themselves, to VERB what the little elves would do.
About midnight in they came, VERB and VERB , VERB round the room, and then went to sit down to their work as usual; but when they saw the clothes lying for them, they PAST TENSE VERB and PAST TENSE VERB , and seemed mightily delighted.
Then they PAST TENSE VERB themselves in the twinkling of an eye, and PAST TENSE VERB and PAST TENSE VERB and PAST TENSE VERB about, as ADJECTIVE as could be; till at last they danced out at the door, and away over the green.
The good couple VERB them no more; but everything went well with them from that time forward, as long as they PAST TENSE VERB .
