When a wealthy neighbor tempts him with a chest full of riches, a poor but cheerful shoemaker is so burdened with worry about his wealth that he decides to return it.
Stories, fables and fairy tales from Aesop, Hans Christian Andersen, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Jean de la Fontaine, Gerda Marie Scheidl, and Leo Tolstoy are illustrated by Bernadette Watts.
