  1. Once upon a time a tailor had a terrible lot of suits to make. He said to himself he would never have them all made. Just then a little man appeared and sat on the table in front of him. He was a fairy, and he told the tailor to go to bed. The tailor went to bed, and all night long he could hear the sound of the machine.
    Next morning when he got up all the suits were made, and all piled neatly one upon the other on the table.
