Snip, snip, snip! Tap, tap, tap!

As the shoemaker and his wife sleep in their beds, somebody is quietly working away downstairs… They are busying themselves snipping and stitching and swishing and swooshing and, in no time at all, a beautiful pair of shoes sits gleaming on the counter.

How will the penniless shoemaker ever find out who is helping him?
