The Eye of Envy

In this enchanting tale, a talented blacksmith pursues his dual passions - crafting exquisite horseshoes and winning the heart of a lovely village beauty.

In the quaint hamlet of Sleepy Hollow, a young blacksmith is content making horseshoes and courting a village maiden. However, when the main road is closed, traffic is diverted through the town, bringing with it Avarice and his beautiful bride Innocence. The blacksmith becomes consumed by envy, and a chance encounter with a wishing tree allows him to switch bodies with Avarice. As he becomes accustomed to his new life of wealth and power, he realizes his mistake too late and meets a tragic end. Awakening from his nightmare, the blacksmith rediscovers the value of his peaceful life and reunites with the maiden.
