A certain carpenter named Van Eyck would not let the people cut down the great old oak tree

He sits mourning for the lost trees when a Moss Maiden and Tree Elf appear to tell him the great old oak had a message for him

Oak tells him the trees will come back, but this time they will be "under" him instead

While the carpenter is still puzzled, the Moss Maiden and Tree Elf come to tell the him to take two pieces of dry oak wood and leave them out over the night

When he wakes up there are two wooden shoes sitting in place of the wood

Everyone wants a pair of the new “Klompens” because they are useful for outdoor work
