Illustrated by Jim LaMarche

A poor shoemaker has just enough leather to make one last pair of shoes. This one possession stands between him and ruin. He sets out the precious cut leather in the evening so that he can sew it the following day. When he awakens, there has been a miracle! The leather has already been fashioned perfectly into a spectacular pair of shoes. These shoes bring in enough money to double the shoemaker's resources. In the following days, a mysterious source continues to sew beautiful shoes for the man, rescuing him from poverty. Who is making these shoes? How will the shoemaker ever repay them?
