This story is about a shoemaker. Until late night, He is making shoes. He is sad because his shoes are not beautiful. However, his wife says "Let's sleep now." In the morning, the shoemaker finds there are some beautiful shoes on the table. He is so happy. He puts the shoes in his shop, and a man who comes in says "Beautiful shoes!" The shoemaker finds some beautiful shoes on the table again in the morning. One day, the shoemaker and his wife don't go to bed and see something. What they see???I chose this book because illustrations look cute and I don't know the word, elves. This story is retold by Marie Crook. This is in the Penguin Young Readers and written in American English. Its YL is 0.5, so it is written only 332 words (about 14 pages). This story is fun, and I recommend you to read this book if you had free time. For your information, this book is too easy for English learners, so I recommend you to read this book as a warm-up.
