    The 

    Elves and the 

    Shoemaker 

    Long, long 
    ago, 
    during 

    Christmas 
    time, 

    tinsel sparkled 
    and 
    bells did 
    chime. 

    There was 
    a shoe shop decor

    ated with 
    lights. 

    It looked 
    so cosy 
    and warm 
    an
    d bright. 

    But sadly 
    inside 
    the shop was 
    strife. 

    The poor 
    shoe
    maker and 
    his wife 

    didn't 
    have 
    near enough to 

    eat, no 

    Christmas pudding 
    or 
    tasty sweets. 

    See, 
    the shoemaker 
    and his wife 
    togeth
    er only 

    just had 
    enough pieces 
    of 
    leather to 
    make 

    one pair 
    of 
    shiny shoes. 

    He 
    cried, 
    oh dear, 

    what 
    shall 
    we do? 

    He took the 
    leather and then 
    he cut it, 
    sew, sew, 

    sewing each 
    little bit, 
    cob -cobbling 
    the 

    leather into 
    shoes, 

    but 
    the poor shoemaker 
    was feeling 
    blue. 

    just 
    can't carry 
    on, 
    he said, 

    and drooped his 
    tired and 
    heavy 
    head, 
    leaving his 
    half -made 

    shoes 
    in the shed. 

    He went 
    off to sleep 
    in his big 

    old bed. 

    The next morning 
    the shoemaker 
    went down, 

    but soon he 
    lost his worried 
    frown. 

    Someone 
    had 
    finished 
    making the shoes. 

    He 
    ran to tell 
    his wife the 
    news. 

    You won't 
    believe it, 

    Maria, 
    he 
    cried. 

    He 
    was laughing 
    and his 

    eyes were wide. 

    My shoes 
    were 
    finished in the 
    night. 

    They are 
    so perfect 
    and 
    so bright. 

    His 
    wife jumped up 
    and 
    out of her 
    bed. 

    But 
    who finished them? 

    She said. 

    They 
    looked at the 

    shoes together. 

    How beautiful 
    looked 
    the shiny 
    leather. 

    That very 
    day the 
    new shoes sold 

    for 
    seven shiny 
    coins of 
    gold. 

    The 
    shoemaker and 
    his wife jumped 
    for 
    joy, 

    now 

    Christmas 
    they could 
    en
    joy. 

    That 
    night, 
    just before 
    they 
    went to bed, 

    they 
    crept silently 
    into 
    the shed. 

    They wanted 
    to see if there 
    were clues about 

    who had made 
    the lovely shoes. 

    Suddenly 
    there was a 

    jingle 
    and 
    a rustle. 

    Into the 
    shed 
    two elves 
    did 
    bustle. 

    Marja, 

    look !" 
    the shoemaker said. 

    The elves' 
    hats were 

    fluffy and 
    red. 

    Christmas 
    elves! 
    his wife 
    whispered 
    back. 

    The 
    elves worked 
    with a creak 
    an
    d a clack, 

    sew 
    -sewing shoes 
    together, 
    cob 
    -cobbling some 

    new leather. 

    Soon 
    the elves had 
    made a shiny 

    new pair. 

    They ran 
    out and 
    left the 

    shoes right 
    there. 

    Green 
    leather shoes 
    that sparkled 
    so 
    bright, 

    made by 
    elf magic, 
    during 
    the night. 

    The shoemaker
    's wife 
    said to him then, 

    Why, they've 
    helped us 

    out again. 

    We should 
    give them something 
    back, 

    something those 
    kind elves 
    lack. 

    I agree, 

    Maya, 
    the shoemaker said, 

    but 
    what 
    to give those 
    elves in the shed? 

    Then 
    his wife said, 

    Hmm, 
    aha, 
    know, they 
    need 
    some warm 

    winter clothes. 

    She made woolly 
    jumpers for the 
    elves, and 

    laid 
    them out on 
    the shelves. 

    From 
    then on the 
    elves always 
    helped 
    out, 

    and none 
    of them 
    ever 
    went 
    without.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
