Summary
A poor shoemaker is helped by a good fairy.
A poor shoemaker fell ill and lost his trade, and the landlord was demanding the rent. The shoemaker was crying in the shop at night when a good fairy appeared. There was enough leather to make one pair of shoes, and next morning he found a beautiful pair of shoes on the counter, which he soon sold. He bought leather for two pairs of shoes, and the next morning, two beautiful pairs were ready. So it continued until the shoemaker became rich, and the fairy then disappeared.
