The shoemaker lives in a small cottage with his large family. Every day he toils away, making boots so his family can eat. The shoemaker’s sickly youngest son, Aron, often sits beside him. The doctor has warned the shoemaker that little Aron might not live long enough to see next summer.

The shoemaker longs to make more shoes to feed his family, but the cottage gets so dark, he must stop working before the sun goes down. One day the shoemaker and Aron spot something at the market–a beautiful oil lamp! Can the splendid lamp help the shoemaker–and save little Aron?

Den fattiga skomakarfamiljen har det svart under den langa vintern. Far sitter vid foenstret och tillverkar stoevlar som ska saljas pa marknaden. Bredvid honom sitter det yngsta barnet Arvid, som inte far ga ut eftersom han har en svar hosta.

I den stora familjen racker pengarna knappt till mat, men fadern och pojken har en droem: en starkt lysande lampa att hanga i taket. Pa marknaden koeper de en sa vacker lampa att den rika bonden i grannhuset vill koepa den av dem. Men skomakaren vill inte salja lampan, eftersom den allt sjukare Arvid behoever ljuset foer att orka till sommaren.
Efter den tunga vintern aker pojken och fadern annu en gang ivag pa en fisketur i solskenet.
