Week 13: Celtic Tales
The spritely tailor
A tailor was dared to sew trews in a haunted church at night. As the tailor was spritely he took on the task. As the night began, he sewed the trews but soon he saw a ghost's head coming up from the floor. The ghost asked him if he saw his head and the tailor replied yes but he was still to sew the trews. The ghost little by little inched out of the floor asking the tailor if he saw this happening over and over again. The tailor always replied that he did but he was still to sew. Right as the ghost brought his feet out of the floor, the tailor finished his trews and began to run. The ghost chased after him but the tailor was too fast. He made it home safely and got his reward for finishing the trews in the church at night.
