Cobbler Cobbler

In a small town in England, there lived a poor little girl. Her friend invited her to come to her birthday party. She was so excited. But her right shoe was spoilt. She needed to get it mended quickly. So, she went to see a cobbler in her little town. 

 

“Cobbler, cobbler," called the girl. “Please mend my shoe." 

 

“When do you want it done, little girl?" asked the cobbler. 

 

“Get it done by half-past two. Then I will give you half a crown," said the girl. The cobbler smiled and quickly mended her shoe. 

 

The cobbler finished repairing her shoe before half-past two. The little girl was so happy. Now, she could go to her friend's birthday party. 

 

Moral of the story : 

 

You should be grateful that there are people who could do something good for you. 
能做一些对他人有好处的事情你应该充满感激。
