 A
Tailor is hard at work making a new waistcoat for the Mayor
when all of a sudden he spots some flies around his jam,
so he swats them Whack!! "SEVEN AT ONE BLOW"" he shouts
"I've killed seven at one blow". He makes himself a belt
with the words 'seven at one blow' on the front, saying
"now every one will know that I killed seven at one blow".
Off he goes with the finished waistcoat to the Mayor. When
he arrives someone has already told the Mayor that the Tailor
has killed seven at one blow. Of course, everyone thinks
he has killed seven people with one blow. So, as he is so
brave, the Mayor decides to send the Tailor out on a series
of tasks. He has to stop the Town Crier from sneezing, capture
the Unicorn and kill old "Bucket Head" the giant. The Tailor
does all this and returns to the Mayor for payment of his
waistcoat. Just as he is being paid, he swats 10 more flies
around the Mayors jam, Whack!! and says "TEN AT ONE BLOW".
I'll have to change my belt now to say 'ten at one blow'
thinks the Tailor. Everyone realises this time, that it
was only flies he killed not people. He then marries the
jam seller and lives happily ever after.
