There was once a shoemaker, business has never been any mistake, but to day more and more poor, poor to connect later do shoes material also have no, only a piece of leather.

The second day early in the morning, he washed up, wear good clothes and go to work before preparing to do shoes, was surprised to find that shoes are ready, he was totally confused by, don't know what is going on here. He picked up the shoe careful check the meticulous work to do, have no which sewed sloppy. In fact, this pair of shoes is the masterpiece of the shoemaker are proud.
A short time later, a customer came in. When he saw the shoes also fondle admiringly, paid high price for this pair of shoes. As a result, the shoemaker had enough money to buy leather for four pairs of shoes.

从前有个鞋匠,生意上从来没出过什么差错,日子却过得越来越穷,后来穷到连做鞋子的材料也没有了,只剩下了一张皮子。他把这张皮子裁剪好,发现刚刚够做一双鞋子。然后他就上床休息,睡前还做了祈祷。由于他为人问心无愧,所以睡得很香很甜。
第二天一大早,他洗漱完毕,穿好衣服,走到工作台前正准备做鞋,却惊奇地发现,鞋已经做好了,他完全给弄糊涂了,不知道这到底是怎么一回事。他拿起鞋子仔细查看活儿做得一丝不苟,没有哪一针缝得马虎。事实上,这双鞋是令鞋匠都感到骄傲的杰作。
过了一小会儿,一位顾客走了进来。他一见这双鞋子也就爱不释手,花了高价买下了这双鞋。这样一来,鞋匠就有了足够的钱去买可做四双鞋子的皮子。
第二天清早,鞋匠发现四双鞋子已经做好了。于是,就这样日复一日,他头天晚上裁剪好的皮料,次日一早就变成了缝制好的鞋子。不久,随着鞋匠生意的兴隆,他也成了一个有钱的人。
圣诞节前几天的一个晚上,鞋匠在上床睡觉前对妻子说:“咱们今晚上熬个通宵,看看到底是谁这样帮助我们,好不好?”他妻子欣然同意,并点燃了一根蜡烛。随后他们俩便藏在挂着衣服的屋角里,注意着周围的动静。
午夜一到,只见两个光着身子的小人儿走了进来,坐在鞋匠工作台前。他们刚一坐下,就拿起裁剪好的皮料,用他们纤细的手指开始做鞋,又是锥,又是缝,还不时地敲敲打打。鞋匠目不转睛地看着他们,对他们的工作赞赏不已。他们做好了鞋子,又把东西整理得井井有条,然后才急急忙忙地离去。
第二天早上,妻子对鞋匠说:“是这两个小人儿使咱们发了财,咱们得好好感谢他们才是。他们光着身子半夜里来来去去,一定会着凉的。我跟你说咱们怎么办--我打算给他们每人做一件小衬衫、一件小背心和一条小裤子,再给他们每人织一双小袜子,你呢,给他们每人做一双小鞋。”
她丈夫很赞成这个主意。到了晚上,给两个小人儿的礼物全都做好了,他们把礼物放在工作台上,没有再放裁剪好的皮料。然后他们自己又躲藏起来,想看看两个小人儿会说些什么。
午夜时分,两个小人儿蹦蹦跳跳地跑了进来,准备马上开始干活儿,可他们怎么也找不到裁剪好的皮料,却发现了两套漂亮的小衣服,他们喜形于色,高兴得手舞足蹈起来。两个小人儿飞快地穿上衣服,接着唱了起来:“咱们穿得体面又漂亮,何必还要当个皮鞋匠!”
他们俩在椅子和工作台上又是蹦啊,又是跳,最后蹦跳着离开了房门。从此,两个小人儿再没有来过,而鞋匠一直过着富足的日子,事事称心如意。
