The Shoemaker's Apron: The Story of the Man Who Sits Near the Golden Gate
"Now, Master," St. Peter said, "what am I to do? You know yourself we can't keep this fellow in heaven."
But Lord Jesus, looking with pity on the poor little shoemaker, said to St. Peter:
"Just let him stay where he is. He won't bother any one sitting here near the gate."
Oh: The Tsar of the Forest There was once a king who was very powerful. He had great influence over the wild beasts and animals. Now the tortoise was looked upon as the wisest of all beasts and men. This king had a son named Ekpenyon, to whom he gave fifty young girls as wives, but the prince did not like any of them. The king was very angry at this, and made a law that if any man had a daughter who was finer than the prince's wives, and who found favour in his son's eyes, the girl herself and her father and mother should be killed.
