Reading book: The Shoemaker and the Elves
Dear students, families, teachers and friends:
Our dear students at 2nd level are going to read “The Elves and the Cobbler” or “The Shoemaker and the Elves”. It is an often copied and re-made story about a poor shoemaker who receives much-needed help from elves.
The original story is the first of three fairy tales, contained as entry 39 in the German Grimm's Fairy Tales under the common title "Die Wichtelmänner". In her translation of 1884 Margaret Hunt chose The Elves as title for these three stories.
I will upload their worksheets. I hope you like them.
Your teacher and friend, Christopher Angel
Our dear students at 3rd level are going to read “The Gingerbread Man”. In the 1875 St. Nicholas tale, a childless old woman bakes a gingerbread boy who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her husband give chase but fail to catch him. The gingerbread boy then out runs several farm workers and farm animals. The tale ends with a fox catching and eating the gingerbread boy who cries as he's devoured.
