In good spirits, he was sewing with all his might. A peasant woman came down the street crying, Good jam for sale! Good jam for sale! That sounded good to the little tailor, so he stuck his dainty head out the window and shouted, Come up here, my dear woman! You can sell your goods here! The woman carried her heavy basket up the three flights of stairs to the tailor, who had her unpack all of her jars. He examined them, picking each one up and holding it to his nose. Finally he said, This jam looks good to me. Weigh out four ounces for me, even if it comes to a quarter pound. The woman, who had hoped to make a good sale, gave him what he asked for, then went away angry and grumbling. May God bless this jam to give me health and strength, said the little tailor. Then taking a loaf of bread from his cupboard, he cut himself a large slice and spread it with the jam. That is not going to taste bad, he said, but I will finish the jacket before I bite into it. He laid the bread aside and continued his sewing, happily making his stitches larger and larger. Meanwhile the smell of the sweet jam rose to the wall where a large number of flies were sitting. Attracted by the smell, a swarm of them settled onto the bread. |
