After some time the daughter became older and got married
to a fine young man, and they moved to the capital. Mr. Mike
continued working and bending over his bench and his wife
sometimes went to keep him company because she felt lonely
in the empty house, ever since their daughter moved out.
One day Rose entered the workshop crying with joy. She held
a letter saying that their daughter gave birth to a healthy
little boy in the capital. As soon as Mr. Mike saw the picture
of his new born grandson, and once again the small shoes,
that he made when his wife was pregnant, sprang to his mind.
He turned everything upside down, looked everywhere for
them, and he finally discovered them full of dust under a pair
of huge hunting boots. He polished them with great care and
affection and then, he put them on the shelf to dry, along with
the rest of the other shoes that were fixed and ready to
deliver.
