GENTLE DORA
Dora that he has never dared to show his face on earth again.
The king rewarded the shoemaker royally and to this day the shoemaker is wandering merrily about from place to place. Whenever he hears of a woman who is a scold, he says:
“Why, she’s a regular Gentle Dora, isn’t she?”
And when people ask him: “Who’s Gentle Dora?” he tells them this story.
