Synopsis | A kindly cobbler in a mountain village fixes poor children's shoes for free. He is behind on the rent and the landlord gives him one day to pay or be evicted. That night three elves appear and give him instructions to make a special pair of boots by morning. After making the boots, the cobbler falls asleep. Later he is awakened by an elf to come and meet the wearer of the boots--Santa Claus. The cobbler refuses payment for the boots, but Santa makes him his official bootmaker and the resultant publicity lets the cobbler pay off his debts and continue to fix the shoes of the poor children for free. |
