00:00The Clever Shoemaker
00:06This is the story of a poor shoemaker who used to stay in a small village with his wife.
00:15He had no work in the village, and soon he had no money even to buy food.
00:21So one day he made a decision and said to his wife,
00:25I should not stay here any longer. There is no work here.
00:30I must try my luck in the big city. Just might be able to get a decent job there.
00:37The shoemaker reached the big city. He would roam the streets calling out,
00:42Get new shoes made. Get new shoes made.
00:46Or get your old shoes to look just like new ones.
00:49Or simply get shiny new ones. Get new shoes made. Get new shoes made.
00:55The shoemaker got no work on the first day.
01:01The next day, he roamed the streets of the big city again calling out,
01:07Get new shoes made. Get shoes made.
01:12A woman called out to him,
01:15Mr. Shoemaker, man these shoes please.
01:18Sure, madam.
01:19The shoemaker sat at the door of the house and stitched up those shoes.
01:25Here, my lady. The shoes are ready.
01:28How much?
01:30One copper coin.
01:32Here you go.
01:33He took the money and left.
01:36As soon as he entered the next street,
01:39Another woman called out to him and asked him to repair some shoes.
01:43Here are some pairs of shoes. Please, man them.
01:49The shoemaker mended the shoes, took the money, and left.
01:53I have made quite a bit of money today.
01:57If I keep working like this, I shall soon have enough money to buy a donkey.
02:03He worked very hard, and after a few days, he had earned four gold coins.
02:10He bought a donkey with two of them and decided to return home.
02:14The next day, he packed all his stuff and left for home.
02:21On his way, he passed through a jungle where he saw a band of thieves.
02:28God save me!
02:30These thieves will take away all my money, and I shall become poor once again.
02:35What do I do?
02:36The shoemaker was very clever.
02:39He did not lose heart and thought of a plan.
02:42He tied one gold coin to the neck of the donkey and walked ahead.
02:48The thieves caught him.
02:51Out with all your money! Come on, quick!
02:54See? I am a poor cobbler.
02:57I have nothing other than this donkey.
03:00Please let me go.
03:02As soon as it heard this,
03:04The donkey brayed and the gold coin fell from its neck to the ground.
03:09Really?
03:10Then where did you get this gold coin from?
03:13How dare you lie to us?
03:16Stop! Stop!
03:18All right, I shall tell you.
03:20This donkey creates gold.
03:22This is how I get all my money.
03:25All right.
03:27Sell us this donkey, and we shall let you go.
03:30No, not at all.
03:33If I sell it, I shall be left with nothing.
03:37We shall give you fifty gold coins for this.
03:41Fine, but be careful to keep the donkey with each of you for one day in turn,
03:47or else you will end up fighting for the money.
03:50The shoemaker sold the donkey and returned home.
03:54He was very happy to have got the gold coins.
03:58With the money, he bought a poultry farm.
04:01Meanwhile, the thieves, too, had reached their hideout with the donkey.
04:06Their chief said to all of them,
04:07Being the chief of this gang, I shall be the first to keep the donkey with me.
04:14The thieves obeyed their chief, and that night the chief slept in the stable with the donkey.
04:21He wanted to take the money as soon as he awoke.
04:24The next morning when he got up, he saw there was nothing in the stable.
04:29He searched the entire stable, but he found nothing.
04:32He realized that the cobbler had fooled them.
04:37Meanwhile, another thief got there.
04:40Chief, you got the gold.
04:42Tell us, how many coins has the donkey created?
04:46You will find out for yourself when you keep the donkey with you tonight.
04:52The chief said nothing to anyone,
04:55for he wanted to make sure that he had not made a mistake.
04:58One by one, all the thieves kept the donkey with them,
05:03but none of them got a thing.
05:05All of them understood that they had been fooled.
05:09The chief called a meeting.
05:11That shoemaker has fooled us.
05:13We will teach him a lesson.
05:16He sold us his ordinary donkey for 50 gold coins.
05:21We shall take our money back from him and punish him for daring to dupe us.
05:26Yes, let's go!
05:29They leave for the shoemaker's home.
05:32He was working in the farm.
05:34He saw the thieves coming.
05:36He rushed inside the house and said to his wife,
05:40Listen carefully.
05:42When the thieves get here and ask for me,
05:45tell them that I am working in the farm,
05:47and then send our dog Milo to call me.
05:50Saying this, he hid behind his house.
05:54A little while later, the thieves got there.
05:57Where is that shoemaker?
05:59Call him.
06:00We wish to speak to him.
06:04He has gone to the farm.
06:06Let me send the dog to call for him.
06:08Milo, go and call your master.
06:11Tell him that some people have come to see him.
06:14What is all this?
06:17Will Milo really get your husband to come here?
06:20Sure.
06:21He understands everything.
06:23Whenever I need to speak to him while he is at the farm,
06:26I simply send Milo to him and Milo delivers my message.
06:32When the thieves were talking to the shoemaker's wife,
06:35the shoemaker arrived.
06:37Oh, it's you.
06:40Milo told me that you wished to speak with me.
06:43We got nothing from the donkey.
06:45You cheated us.
06:47Lied to us.
06:49Listen, I am sure you have made a mistake.
06:52Whatever I have, it is because of the donkey.
06:56All right, we believe you.
06:58But you will have to sell us this dog, too.
07:03No.
07:04Not at all.
07:05I cannot sell it.
07:07We shall pay you 40 gold coins for it.
07:13After refusing a bit,
07:15the shoemaker agreed to sell them the dog.
07:19The thieves took Milo and left.
07:22When they reached the cave,
07:23the chief announced that he would be the first
07:25to keep the dog with him.
07:28The others obeyed him and left.
07:31The chief called his daughter, Camilla.
07:34Listen, Camilla.
07:36I am going off to work.
07:39If anyone comes to ask for me,
07:41send Milo to call me.
07:42As you say, father.
07:48Some time later,
07:50a man came there
07:51and asked the chief's daughter
07:53to call her father.
07:55Please wait.
07:56I shall send for him at once.
07:59Milo, go tell father
08:00that someone is here to meet him.
08:03Milo ran away from the chief's home,
08:06and instead of going to the chief thief,
08:08he went straight to the shoemaker.
08:11When the thief returned home in the evening,
08:14he saw that Milo was not there.
08:16He realized that Milo must have gone back to his master,
08:21so he went to the shoemaker's house.
08:24Listen, has Milo come to you?
08:27Yes, here he is.
08:29I think he must have been missing me.
08:32Give him a little time.
08:33Eventually, he will start accepting you as his master.
08:38The chief took Milo back with him
08:41and gave him to one of his comrades the next day.
08:44Milo stayed with all the members of the gang one by one,
08:48but each day he would return to the shoemaker.
08:51Everyone realized that they had been cheated once again.
08:56They discussed.
08:57This time we shall not be fooled.
09:00I shall teach that shoemaker a lesson.
09:03This time they reached the shoemaker's house.
09:06They did not pay heed to anything the shoemaker had to say.
09:10They put him in a sack and left to teach him a lesson.
09:17The shoemaker lay in the sack quietly.
09:20On their way, they passed by a church.
09:24One of the thieves said,
09:26Chief, it is really hot.
09:29Let us rest for a while in the church.
09:31We can surely wait till evening to do the work.
09:35They left him there,
09:37and all of them went inside the church.
09:40This church was on top of a hill.
09:42A swineherd was passing by.
09:46When he heard the swineherd's voice,
09:49an idea struck the shoemaker,
09:51and he started shouting loudly.
09:54I won't do it!
09:56I won't do it!
09:57Leave me!
09:58Let me go!
09:59The swineherd heard the shoemaker's voice,
10:02and he came towards him.
10:04He asked the shoemaker,
10:05Hey, mate, what happened?
10:09What will you not do?
10:11Who put you in that sack?
10:14They want to get me married to the king's daughter,
10:16but I do not want to get married.
10:19Why, mate?
10:20Are you crazy?
10:22Had I been in your place,
10:23I would have definitely got married to that princess.
10:26If that is the case,
10:30come, I shall put you in the sack.
10:32Go and marry the princess.
10:35Really?
10:36Of course.
10:37But first, let me out.
10:40The swineherd let the shoemaker out of the sack,
10:44and himself got inside it.
10:46The shoemaker tied him up,
10:48and taking his pigs,
10:50got away from there.
10:51The thieves came out of the church in the evening,
10:54took the sack, and left.
10:57Listen, let's throw him here in the mud.
11:00This will teach him a lesson.
11:03The thieves throw him in the mud,
11:04and depart from there.
11:06While returning,
11:07they saw the shoemaker on the road,
11:09and they were shocked.
11:11How did you get here?
11:14There was a magical place beneath that mud.
11:17There is a lot of gold,
11:18and the guards of that gold are these pigs.
11:21I came out with the help,
11:24and brought some gold with me too.
11:25Oh, just going back to sleep there.
11:29Wait, take us to that magical place.
11:33Beware, dare you even touch the gold.
11:36But I...
11:38Do as we say.
11:40All right, if you insist.
11:42The gang of thieves reached the spot with the shoemaker.
11:48If you want the gold,
11:50then you must lock yourselves in the sack.
11:54All thieves tied themselves in the sack.
11:57The cobbler threw all of them in the mud,
12:00and then left the pigs on them.
12:03Hey, he fooled us again.
12:05Hey, brother, get us out.
12:07We will not bother you further.
12:09Do not leave us like this.
12:11Please!
12:13The thieves kept shouting.
12:15The pigs licked the thieves.
12:17Seeing this,
12:18the shoemaker laughed and went to his house.
12:22Thereafter,
12:23lived peacefully and happily with his wife.
12:26The thieves kept saying.
12:26You can do it again.
12:27Hope you want them in the Marcy.
12:28Love you for a whole reason.
12:29Bye.
12:29Bye.
12:31Bye.
12:31Bye.
12:31Bye.
12:32Bye.
12:53Bye.
12:54Bye.
12:54Bye.
