Chapter 6 Mr. Hans' Boot Shop

Mr. Hans is a very good shoemaker. His boots are never made by machine, "jingle, jingle, jingle", the little hammer sang a nice song, and the boots danced in Mr. Hans' hands. There are various styles of boots in his shoe store, including round-toed and pointed-toed boots, boots with tall and slender heels, thick and round heels, high-top boots, and half-open toe boots. For the boots outside, there are beautiful colorful boots, melancholic purple boots, naive blue boots, black pensive boots and humorous brown boots. The most special thing is that there is a boot elf living in each pair of Mr. Hans' boots.The boots of those beautiful aunts often live with elves who like to dance, so those aunts walk very gracefully, just like dancers dancing; the boots of grandpas usually live with elves who like to meditate, so we often see Grandpa always likes to sit quietly in the park or by the river in a daze; the singing elf likes to live in children's boots, so many children walk by jumping and singing; hehe, if A child who often falls when he walks has a mischievous elf living in his boot.

Mr. Hans also often repairs people's damaged boots, especially some boys' boots, which always have various problems: the upper is off, the heel is broken, or there is a big hole in the head of the boot. . . . . .Mr. Hans always frowns every time he takes the shoes, but after a while, he will hand you a brand new pair of boots.Really, if you didn't know it, you wouldn't be able to tell it was a pair of boots that had been mended. "What a naughty boy!" Mr. Hans patted the little boy's head, "He always walks with his shoes in drag, and often throws them into the sky or into the grass!" The skinny little boy blushed, why did Hans Mr. knows everything!

"Look, the elf's wings are all broken!" Mr. Hans said seriously, the thin little boy saw an elf with broken wings crying in his boots through Mr. Hans's mirror !It's really strange, why the elf can only be seen in Mr. Hans's mirror! "Don't let the elf's wings break again, he won't want to live in your boots again next time!" He took the boots from Mr. Hans, the uppers were brand new, and the heels stood up. When he got up, it was like buying a new one, and the skinny little boy's face turned even redder.He bowed to Mr. Hans and ran out of the shoe shop.

"Look, the problem I mentioned last time, I always like to walk in the pond!" Just took the boots and looked at it, Mr. Hans shook his head and gave the fat little boy a look: "I Tell you, the elf in your boots has run away from home, this is a very serious problem!" Sure enough, through the mirror of Mr. Hans, the inside of the boots is empty, and the boots without the elf are a pair of lifeless What's the difference between walking with a piece of wood tied to your boots?The chubby little boy was so remorseful that he almost shed tears. "I'll try and see if I can get it back!" Mr. Hans took out the pipe.Generally, Mr. Hans does not smoke, but as long as Mr. Hans takes out his cigarette pouch, all problems can be solved.The chubby little boy was a little relieved, and he gently put his boots on the table, believing that next time he would definitely not walk in the pond with his boots on.

"Let's fix it so that it doesn't make such ugly sounds like 'baba' and 'baba' when it walks!" An uncle with a big beard handed over a pair of clean and beautiful black shoes, so Why do your shoes need repairing? Mr. Hans only glanced at the shoe, threw it at his feet, and said to him sternly: "Go away, you evil thief!" The bearded thief was very scared. He covered Mr. Hans's mouth and asked stammeringly, "You...you are...how...how do you know that I belong to a thief?" Mr. Hans dragged the bearded thief angrily. Because of excitement, the glasses on the tip of his nose were bouncing: "Look, what lives in the shoes?"

Through the mirror of Mr. Hans, the bearded thief saw a man with the same beard as himself in the boots, who was climbing down from the balcony of a house with a pair of boots in his hands. He was so frightened that he threw away the boots and ran away. , It is said that there has never been a thief on this street since then. Mr. Hans still stays in his shoe shop every day, jingling with his small hammer, making all kinds of boots.Some people say that he doesn't mend people's boots anymore, because the people here have made friends with the elves in the boots, and everyone loves them and never wants to hurt them.

But Mr. Hans's boots are still a good seller, because everyone has several different pairs of boots, such as boots with a round toe, boots with a high slender heel, boots in innocent blue, or humorous brown boots, etc., and There are other more interesting boots too!
