The Brave Little Tailor

    Once upon a time there was a little tailor who lived in a building that was really high. He was doing a little task when he heard a voice below " jam for sale!", then he said "up here my good woman, I'll buy you're jam." So the woman went up three stories of stairs to get to the tailors room. Then the tailor opened and smelled all jams and jelly, the woman waited patiently. After a while he finally said I'll buy three spoons full of this one. How disappointed the woman felt to sell such a small amount, but she measured the jam and went away. The tailor spreads the jam on a piece of brea and said "I'll eat it as soon I finished my work. Then a few minutes later the bread was swarmed with flies. The tailor got mad and struck them with a piece of cloth, he found 7 flies dead. Feeling proud of himself, he made a belt with a writing on it, the writing said "SEVEN IN ONE BLOW". Then he went out to show it to the world. On his way out he found a piece of cheese and put it into his pocket. At the front door on a branch there was a bird and without any special reason he put it in his pocket too. Then he went out to the world. On his way he met a fierce giant. The giant ask the little tailor "what are he doing out here?" The little tailor answered "I am showing the world what I can do." The giant read the word on the tailors belt and was startled because he thought that the had killed 7 mens in one blow. So the giant decided to test the little tailor, I bet you can't do this the the giant took a big rock and squeeze it until water ran out. The little tailor took the cheese and squeeze it until whey came out. The giant the tool another big rock and threw it until it can't be seen anymore, try to beat that. The tailor said without any fear "that's good but I bet it would fall to the ground, then the tailor took the bird and threw it to the air. The bird pleased to be freed flew away.
The giant finally said "if you are as strong as you said, then help me bring this tree." The tailor said "ok, I'll help you. You take the root part and I'll take the head part which is no doubt heavier." The giant in the front can't see the tailor sitting on a branch. A few minutes later the giant said "I am tired I have to put it down for a while", the tailor quickly jumped down and grab a branch so he seem to be lifting the tree all along. Then they came to a fruit tree and they decided to have a snack so the giant bent the tree and the Tailor collected the Apple. Then when the Tailor is holding a branch the giant stand up so the Tailor was flung to the top of the tree. The giant said "you can't even hold a single branch." The Tailor replied "I jump on the tree in purpose, let's see if you can." Hearing that the giant was mad and jumped to the tree. When he jumped the Giants leg was stuck in a branch, then the giant fell dead. The king who appears to be crossing saw the dead giant, since the giant was a great nuisance to the kingdom the king rewarded the tailor with so many gold. And the little Tailor lived happily ever after.
