ABSTRACT

Once there was a shoemaker dying of hunger and full of courage.Since he hadn’t been able to earn a cent, he slapped his toolbox onhis back one day and went in search of some work. However, it was a waste of time, for when it became dark in the evening, he found himself in a village where the people were starving even more than he was. Well, in this village there was a large palace, and when the shoemaker saw it, he became curious to know who was living there, and he asked some people nearby. They told him that the palace was vacant because it was filled with ghosts, and whoever dared to enter always came out more dead than alive. The shoemaker, despite himself, decided to go and remain there, and this is what he did.
