    There is also another beggar and he is called the "Red Tailor". At one time he was a great tailor, but he was fond of drink and he drank all his money. Then he went out and travelled the roads begging for money. This beggar only comes around here a few times in the year. He is also a good reader but he never goes to the houses to get books.
