Beppi was a poor shoemaker. Down to his last piece of leather he cut out the shoes ready to make next day and went to bed.
Next morning he found a pair of bright clean shoes on his workbench. A customer was so enchanted by them that she paid extra. Beppi bought more leather and more shoes were made. He became rich but curious.
On discovering that two naked little elves were the workers, Beppi decided to make them some clothes to keep them warm.
The elves dressed and danced. They danced out of the room and never came back.

Least he got a bit of shoemaking and a dance before they went. :-)
