The brave Little Tailor (8)

The brave Little Tailor (8)

Some people who worked in the palace found him.

They inspected him all sides and read on his banner belt: Seven at one blow !

" Oh, why is this great warrior here in time of peace ? " they asked themselves.
" He must be an important lord. "

They went to the King to tell him what they had seen.

They told him that if war was to break out, this man would be very useful and that they should on no account let him go.

The King followed thier advice and sent one of his courtier to the little man to serve him as soon as he woke up.

When the tailor opened his eyes and stretched out, the courtier at once offered him his services.

" I have in fact come for that purpose, " said the tailor.
" I am ready to accept the King's services. "

He was welcomed with all kinds of hornors and assigned an apartment in the palace, but the King's soldiers were jealous of him.

" What will happen if we have an argument with him ? " they muttered to each other.

" He will jump on us and kill seven at one blow. None of us will survive. We won't stand a chance ! "
