Izzy Isaacberg, the village blacksmith, agrees to shoe the elf's moose if the elf can make the witch who cast a spell on him remove it. The elf agrees, but when he confronts the witch things get complicated.
Notes
-
The first part of the story alludes to Longfellow's 'The Village Blacksmith'. The story opens with the verse:
Under the village doughnut tree,
The village baker bakes.
With soggy bread and cakes like lead,
The man his living makes.
