- Long ago there lived seven tailors together. Each of them had the itch, as it was very common long ago. they used be all the time itching themselves. The people had a wager with them that they would not keep their hands quiet for ten minutes without scratching themselves. They started talking about the trade each of their fathers had. One of them said my father is a carpenter, and he works his tools like this and he started working his hands and according as he was showing how he works his tools he was scratching himself.
