1.小精灵和鞋匠

以前有个鞋匠.虽然并不是因为他自己的过错，但是他变得很穷困，最后他只剩下仅够做一双鞋的皮料，别的一无所有.于是，他在晚上把鞋料裁好，准备第二天上午开始把皮料制成皮鞋.由于他心安理得，所以能安然躺在床上，把自己的一切托付上苍，然后就入睡了.第二天早晨，他做过祷告后，准备开始工作，但是发现想要做的那双鞋子已经做好，放在自己的桌上.他吃惊得目瞪口呆，不知该怎么想.他把鞋子拿在手里，再加仔细端详.这双鞋做得好极了，就像是出自一个制鞋大师之手，一针一线的位置都恰到好处.

不久，一位买主走进来.因为那双鞋穿在他脚上大小很服贴，他给了比一般都高的价钱.这样，鞋匠就有钱买了做两双鞋的皮料.他在晚上把皮料裁剪好，准备第二天早晨精神焕发地开始工作.但当他起身时，发现鞋料又已经被做成了鞋子.甚至连买主也不缺.那位买主给他很多的钱，使他可以购买做四双皮鞋的皮料.隔天一大早，他又发现那四双鞋也已有人帮他做好.如此反复，无论他晚上裁剪了多少双鞋料，到早上这些鞋料必然被做成了鞋子.如是，他的生活很快得到了改善，最后还是变得十分富有.

圣诞节前不久的一个晚上，鞋匠在裁完皮料上床之前对他的妻子说：

“今天晚上如果我们熬个夜，看看谁在为我们干活，好吗？

”

他的妻子同意了.他们点了一盏灯，然后躲在屋子一角挂了几件上衣的后面，再就开始观察.一到半夜时，他们发现两个五官端正，但身上赤条条的小人，来到屋内，坐在鞋匠的桌子前，干起为他们准备好的活儿.他们时儿穿针引线，时儿用锥钉钉子，他们的小手指如此灵敏俐落，连鞋匠的眼光也几乎赶不上，他真是惊叹不已.他们总是先把活儿干完，把做好的放在桌上，然后才跳跳蹦蹦地离去.

第二天早晨，鞋匠的妻子对鞋匠说：

“那两个小人使我们发了财，我们也应该对他们表示感激之情.他们一丝不挂地跑东跑西，一定很冷.我有个主意.我会给他们做些小衬衫，小外套，小马甲，小马裤，并且为他们每人织一双长统袜，你再为他们每人做一双鞋子.”

丈夫欣然同意.晚上，当他们做完所有的事情后，他们把礼物一起放在桌上，而不再放裁剪好的鞋料，然后，他们躲到可以观察小精灵如何行动的地方.半夜一到，两个小精灵匆匆而来，准备开始工作.但是他们没有发现裁剪好的皮料，却发现了为他们准备好的整洁的小衣裳，他们呆了一阵子，然后喜形于色，很快地拿起了漂亮的衣服，一面穿在身上，一面唱着：

“我们是多么时髦漂亮的小伙子啊!

“我们不再是臭皮匠了.”

他们又跳又唱，在屋里的桌子和椅子上跳来跳去，最后跳出了大门.

从那以后，再也没有见到过他们，但是鞋匠后来终其一生都过得幸福美满，凡是所经营的事业，无不兴旺发达.
