Contracted braille.

A Polish peasant family living in the middle of the forest is hungry for a sight of the city. One Christmas Eve night, a richly dressed little boy comes to their door. He cannot speak, but he can sing like a nightingale. The family takes care of the boy for a year without knowing anything about him. Then an opportunity suddenly comes to them to make their long-anticipated trip to the city. The children gather up their little puppet theatre they have been making for Christmas and come into the city.
