What is The Elves and the Shoemaker about?

A poor shoemaker, down to his last piece of leather, discovers that two little elves are secretly crafting exquisite shoes for him each night. Their kindness transforms his fortune, and he becomes prosperous. To express his gratitude, the shoemaker and his wife make clothes for the elves. Delighted, the elves don their new outfits and dance away, never to return, leaving the shoemaker to thrive on his own.
