ENF NIP story – The Shoemaker’s Daughters

The shoemaker sat on his bench.

“Anna,” he said, “you first.”

The girl with the red bottom stepped forward, and her father hauled her across his knee. He spanked her twenty times, the crowd clapping along with every blow.

When justice had been done, and tears were streaming down the girl’s face, he threw her aside and turned to her sister.

“Olga,” he said, patting his thigh ominously, “you next.”

With a frightened whimper, the second girl bent over her father’s lap, whereupon he vigorously laid another twenty resounding thwacks on her quivering blue behind. Once again, the crowd applauded every stroke.

“Now,” the shoemaker said, “you may both stand here, like wicked children, and let the people gawp at you until I call you to prepare my supper. I am returning to my last.”

So saying, he picked up his bench, as well as the discarded sheets, and strode away, abandoning his naked daughters to the leering of the crowd.
