[... Yup, Taichi sure reminds Mikasa of a puppy especially because she has two dogs and they may not be tiny puppies anymore but that's when she got them.]
They sleep through the rest of the night and the next morning his wife gets an idea. They should show their appreciation and gratefulness to the elves, who have made them wealthy but those elves are running around with nothing on and it's winter, so they must be freezing. She makes clothes for them and the shoemaker makes a pair of shoes for each of them.
They work hard all day until all of them are finished, they leave them into a place, where the little elves could easily find their gifts and then they hide again. The elves arrive at night and the couple sees they're delightedly trying on their new clothes and shoes... And then the elves dance out of the house and they never return but the shoemaker's business becomes prosperous and he never runs out of leather again.
Or in some variations the elves never leave and they work together, but the rest of the end result is the same either way.
[ . . . aaaand, yeah, that's it. And now when she's not telling a story / fairytale, she . . . is not sure what to say. So she'll just brush some fingers through her hair.]
