THE GROCER’S ELF #Inspirational Moral Stories
A young
student went to a grocer’s shop to purchase bread and a few candles.
Having
little money, he could only buy the candles, which the grocer
wrapped
in a page torn out from a book. Reading the poem on it, he wanted
to read
the book, and had to part with the candles! A small elf who lived in
the
grocer’s shop, followed the boy. He saw a very bright light shining from
beneath
the door. Through the keyhole he found that the book was shedding
that
light! It spread out like a huge tree, with its branches spreading over the
young
boy. Each fruit on the tree shone like a star and each flower bore the
smiling
face of a young girl! Enchanted, the elf decided to stay here, rather
than be
in the grocer’s well-stocked shop!
