It was not one mysterious stranger, but two tiny elves who came prancing in through the window! The elves were wearing barely a stitch of clothing and old worn-out rags on their feet instead of shoes. The little elves seemed happy, though, as their tiny feet crossed the room. They immediately started working on the leather left on top of the workbench -- their tiny hands sewing each stitch perfectly.
"That's why I saw tiny hands in my dreams!" whispered the shoemaker excitedly. "Look at how swiftly they work! It is a miracle indeed!"
"They are the sweetest-looking creatures I have ever seen," said the shoemaker's wife. "They are just like tiny children, small enough to fit in my pocket!"
When the two elves had finished their work, they quickly and quietly left the way they came. The shoemaker and his wife looked at each other in disbelief. The sun was coming up, so the shoemaker's wife began breakfast while the shoemaker took the new shoes and opened shop for the day.
Later that day, the shoemaker's wife said, "I've been thinking that it is a shame that those dear little elves work so hard to make us these wonderful shoes and they don't even have any proper shoes or clothing."
"I've been thinking the same thing," replied the shoemaker. "I think I'll take some of these scraps of leather and make the elves some brand-new shoes."
"And I'll make them each a fine suit of clothing," said the shoemaker's wife.

The shoemaker and his wife worked all evening to make the tiny elves a new set of clothes. By the time night fell, each elf had a tiny pair of pants, a shirt, a hat, and an overcoat. The shoemaker had even created a fine pair of leather shoes, just the right size for each of their elfin feet.
"Oh, these clothes are just perfect for our little helpers!" cried the shoemaker's wife. "I can't wait to see what happens when they see these outfits!"
"I do believe that these clothes will suit our friends nicely," said the shoemaker, as he grinned proudly.
As the hour grew late, the shoemaker and his wife waited behind the bookcase for the elves to arrive. Their hearts were beating quickly with anticipation. They could not wait to see the look on the elves' faces when they saw their brand-new outfits.
Just then the clock struck midnight. The shoemaker and his wife held their breath as they watched the workbench closely. Just like the night before, the two tiny elves pranced through the window, shivering from the cold night air. As soon as they got to the workbench, they saw the fine sets of clothing.
"Hooray!" the elves cried, as they touched each piece of clothing. They quickly dressed in their new clothes. The elves were so happy they began to dance and sing.
The shoemaker and his wife were so delighted to see the tiny elves celebrating. After all, the elves had helped them when they really needed it most.
After lots of joyful dancing around the workbench, the elves suddenly turned and left the shoemaker's shop. Their tiny giggles could be heard in the crisp night air as they disappeared through the window.
The shoemaker and his wife never saw the elves again, but they had made so much money from selling the elves' shoes, that the shoemaker was able to buy enough fine leather to keep the shop going. The shoemaker and his wife were never poor again. They had a wonderful Christmas season and were able to share their Christmas joy with the rest of the town.
The shoemaker and his wife never forgot those magical elves and every now and then they thought they heard the giggling of the little elves.
"Merry Christmas, little friends," said the shoemaker into the night air. He drifted off to sleep and dreamed a wonderful dream of the tiny elves making someone else's Christmas dreams come true.
