Once upon a time, in a city in Germany, there were a pair of benevolent grandparents. The grandfather worked as a shoemaker and grandmother who sold it to the market.
Money from the sale of shoes is always bought a lot of food to be distributed to the poor and elderly orphans. Therefore, their money is always exhausted.
One day, they can only make one shoe berwarana with the remaining shoe material. He said to the grandmother, "If this shoe is sold, we can buy food for the holiday."
Shortly after, through a little girl who was not shod in front of their house. "Poor girl, in this cold weather, she is not shoddy," said the grandmother.
Finally they give the red shoes to the little girl. Now, they do not have shoes to sell. That means they also will not have the money to celebrate the holiday.
"What can it be, God will help us if we are patient, Grandma," said the grandfather trying to cheer.
Night arrived, grandparents sleep soundly. At that time, from the forest appeared small creatures (liliput) carrying leather shoes to grandfather's house, then make it into a pair of very good shoes. Finished making shoes, they returned to the forest.
The next morning, Grandpa was very surprised to find a pair of very nice shoes on the table. When grandma took her to the market, the shoe was sold out at a very expensive price.
With the sale of the shoe, grandparents can prepare food as well as many gifts to share with the little ones on holiday.
"This is all the grace of the Almighty," exclaimed the grandfather.
The next night, there were voices in the grandfather's office. Grandpa and grandmother peeped. They see the liliput who do not wear coats making shoes.
"Wow, it turns out that the shoes for us are the liliput," yelled sobbing.
"They must be cold because they do not wear coats, I'll make them coats as a token of gratitude," the grandmother continued.
The next day, the grandmother cut the cloth and made a coat for the liliput. Meanwhile, grandfather made small shoes for the liliput.
When finished, they lined up the slippers and coats of the liliput in the study. They also prepared delicious food and cakes on the table.
At midnight, the liliput came. How surprised they see so much food and gifts.
They immediately put on a coat and shoes that had been prepared grandpa and grandma. After that, they eat food and dance with joy.
In the following days, the liliput never come back. But ever since that time, the shoes Grandpa has made are always selling well so they are always able to feed the poor and orphans.
The moral message of the Tale of the Children's Story from Germany is to be a helpful child. If you help others, you will be helped in times of trouble.
