There lived a shoemaker. He had no money at all. And so he finally became poor that he had only one piece of skin left for a pair of boots. In the evening he cut out blanks for boots from this leather and thought: “I will go to bed, and in the morning I will get up early and sew boots.”

And so he did: lay down and fell asleep. In the morning I woke up, washed my face and wanted to get to work.

He just looks, but the boots are already sewn.

The shoemaker was very surprised. He took the boots and began to examine them carefully.

How well they worked! Not a single stitch was wrong. It was immediately evident that a skilled craftsman sewed those boots. And soon there was a buyer for the boots. And he liked them so much that he paid a lot of money for them. Now the shoemaker was able to buy leather for two pairs of boots. He cut two pairs in the evening and thinks: “I will go to bed now, and in the morning I will get up early and start sewing.”

He got up in the morning, washed himself, looked - both pairs of boots were ready.

Buyers soon found again. They really liked the boots. They paid the shoemaker a lot of money, and he was able to buy leather for as many as four pairs of boots.

The next morning these four pairs were ready.

And so it went every day since then. What the shoemaker sews in the evening is already sewn by morning.

The shoemaker's poor and hungry life is over.

One evening he tailored his boots, as always, but before going to bed he suddenly said to his wife:

Listen, wife, what if we don't go to bed tonight and see who is sewing boots for us?

The wife was delighted and said:

Of course, we will not go to bed, let's see.

The wife lit a candle on the table, then they hid in the corner under the dresses and waited.

And exactly at midnight, little men came into the room. They sat down at the shoemaker's table, took the cut leather with their little fingers, and began to sew.
They poked with an awl, tugged and tapped with hammers so quickly and nimbly that the shoemaker could not take his eyes off them in amazement. They worked until all the boots were sewn. And when the last pair was ready, little men jumped off the table and immediately disappeared.

In the morning the wife said to her husband:

The little people made us rich. We need to do something good for them too. Little men come to us at night, they have no clothes on, and they are probably very cold. You know what I came up with: I'll sew a jacket, shirt and pants for each of them. And you make them boots.

Her husband listened and said:

Well you figured it out. Surely they will rejoice!

And then one evening they put their gifts on the table instead of the cut out skin, and again they hid in the corner and began to wait for the little men.

Exactly at midnight, as always, little men came into the room. They jumped on the table and wanted to get to work right away. They just look - instead of cut leather, there are red shirts, suits and small boots on the table.

At first, the little men were surprised, and then they were very happy. They quickly put on their beautiful suits and boots, danced and sang:

We have good outfits
So, there is nothing to worry about!
We are happy with our outfits
And we will not sew boots!

For a long time the little men sang, danced and jumped over chairs and benches. Then they disappeared and no longer came to make boots. But happiness and luck have not left the shoemaker since then throughout his long life.

little men

One shoemaker became so impoverished that he had nothing left but a piece of leather for just one pair of boots. Well, he cut these boots in the evening and decided to start sewing the next morning. And since his conscience was clear, he calmly lay down in bed and fell asleep sweetly.

In the morning, when the shoemaker wanted to get to work, he saw that both boots were completely ready on his table.

The shoemaker was very surprised and did not know what to think about this. He began to carefully examine the boots. They were so cleanly made that the shoemaker could not find a single uneven stitch. It was a real miracle of shoemaking!

A buyer soon arrived. He liked the boots very much and paid more for them than usual. Now the shoemaker could buy leather for two pairs of boots.

He cut them in the evening and wanted to get to work the next morning with fresh strength.

But he did not have to do this: when he got up, the boots were already ready. The buyers again did not keep themselves waiting and gave him so much money that he already bought leather for four pairs of boots.

In the morning he found these four pairs ready.

Since then, it has become customary: what he sews in the evening, it is ready by morning. And soon the shoemaker again became a wealthy man.

One evening, shortly before the New Year, when the shoemaker cut his boot again, he said to his wife:

“But what if we stay up tonight and see who is helping us so well?”

The wife was delighted. She dimmed the light, they both hid in the corner behind a dress hanging there and waited to see what would happen.

It was midnight, and suddenly two little naked men appeared. They sat down at the shoemaker's table, took the cut boots, and began to stab, sew, and nail so deftly and quickly with their little hands that the astonished shoemaker could not take his eyes off them. The little men worked tirelessly until all the boots were sewn. Then they jumped up and ran away.

The next morning the shoemaker's wife said:

“These little people have made us rich, and we must thank them. They don't have any clothes, and they'll probably get cold. You know? I want to sew them shirts, kaftans, panties and knit each of them a pair of stockings. Make them a pair of shoes too.

“With pleasure,” the husband replied.

In the evening, when everything was ready, they put their gifts on the table instead of the cut boots. And they hid themselves to see what the little men would do.

At midnight the little men appeared and wanted to get to work. But instead of leather for boots, they saw gifts prepared for them. The people were surprised at first, and then very happy.

They immediately dressed, straightened their beautiful coats and sang:

- We are handsome!

Like to take a look.

You can rest.

Analysis of the fairy tale "Little Men"

The fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm "Little Men" evokes a feeling of tenderness in both children and adults. In this fairy tale there is a place for miracles, but there are no negative characters. An impoverished shoemaker comes to the aid of little men, doing all the work of sewing and decorating boots at night. The poor shoemaker himself cuts the boots during the day, and at night the magic little men bring the work to completion, and very skillfully. Customers like the shoemaker's products more and more, and the well-being of the impoverished master was getting better.

But the most touching part of the tale is the attitude of the shoemaker and his wife to the little men, when the spouses, having secretly peeped at the work of the little men, decide to reward them. The shoemaker's wife sews beautiful shirts, kaftans, and pants for the little people, and the shoemaker makes tiny shoes for the little ones.

All readers like the ending of this kind and smart tale: dressed up in new coats and shoes, delighted with unexpected gifts, the little men dance and sing merrily. Moreover, after the disappearance of the little men, the shoemaker and his wife live in prosperity and prosperity, no longer knowing poverty.

From the events of the tale it is clear that the shoemaker and his wife are simple, hardworking, good people. When the shoemaker became impoverished, he did not complain about his fate, but having cut the last piece of leather into boots, he went to bed with the intention of continuing his work in the morning. And when prosperity came to the shoemaker, he and his wife did not become proud and did not forget to thank the little men for their painstaking long work.

So it happens in life: a person who knows how to continue to work, despite temporary difficulties, without complaining about problems, will find help, gain prosperity. And, of course, it is very important to be able to thank those from whom help came in difficult times. Fate helps fair people .

We are happy with our outfits
And we will not sew boots!

For a long time the little men sang, danced and jumped over chairs and benches. Then they disappeared and no longer came to make boots. But happiness and luck have not left the shoemaker since then throughout his long life.
