勇敢的小裁缝范例篇1

　　②那时我5岁，母亲不知有什么事没在家。出乎意料，父亲却在，但父亲要到裁缝铺去领取他的工资，只好带着我上路。

　　③父亲是裁缝，在另一个镇上的裁缝铺里替人裁剪缝制衣服。每天星星还没散场，父亲已经出门；月亮升起，父亲才回到家里。父亲出场的时段，我总在安稳地睡着。

　　④我和父亲一人披着一件农家自制的蓑衣，戴着斗笠，在暴风雨中艰难地跋涉。虽然我的蓑衣是母亲特意请蓑衣匠为我量身打造的，但那厚重的蓑衣浸了雨水，披挂在我身上，就像一副沉重的铠甲。

　　⑤父亲大踏步往前走，似乎遗忘了他身后这个小人儿。我背着“铠甲”，喘着粗气，跟在父亲后面，不敢哭闹，甚至不敢开口请求父亲停一停。

　　⑥父亲于我，是遥远的珠穆朗玛峰，是永远冰雪覆盖又沉默寡言的庞大物体。我那么小，那么弱，永远无法靠近和攀登。

　　⑦我连滚带爬地跟在父亲身后，过了不知几座山几条河几个村庄，5岁的孩子不知道，反正好像有到天边那么远。等跨进裁缝铺的门，我的蓑衣里面肯定藏了无数条小溪，湿淋淋地滴了满地，四处开淌，漫过一台台缝纫机的脚。

　　⑧一路上没有回过头的父亲，根本不知道我的状况。我想我肯定狼狈不堪，所以老板娘才怜悯地惊呼：“我的老天啊！”这时，父亲才吃惊地扭头看了我一眼。那个眼神，我从没在父亲眼里看到过，很复杂。

　　⑨在五六台老式蝴蝶牌缝纫机中间，父亲拿到50块钱，那时的50块钱好像很多。我猜是有钱的感觉让父亲的心情很好。回去的路上，雨小了很多，父亲很高兴，竟然拉起我的小手。路过商店，他甚至买了根形状像辣椒的棒子糖塞到我的手里。父亲的力气很大，他把糖塞到我手里时，我的小手瞬间下坠。我受宠若惊，心底的喜悦抑制不住地涌上来，我咬着嘴唇，羞涩地笑了。然后，我勇敢地拉了拉父亲的衣角，说：“爸爸，我累。”

　　⑩父亲蹲下来看着我，我怯怯地看他，怕得要命。一不留神，父亲就把我提起来，放在了他的肩头。在被父亲放在肩头的过程中，我像随着父亲的手在空中飞了一圈。父亲走路很稳，像一座山一样，我坐在他肩上，稳稳当当。我骄傲得要命。我想等我回去了，一定得把这骄傲告诉我的哥哥姐姐们。

　　{11}雨小了，山洪变成了小溪。一条鱼从溪水中跃起，我惊叫：“鱼！”父亲把我放下，跨进溪水里，很快就捉了一条活蹦乱跳的鲫鱼。父亲提着鲫鱼，微笑着在我的脸蛋边晃了晃，我羞涩地笑着躲避。父亲扯了两根茅草，拧了拧，从鱼的腮中间穿过去，突然捏着一端的茅草叶茎，转向我，一边作势往我的鼻孔里钻，一边说：“把这条大鱼也串起来。”我“咯咯”笑着逃开。

　　{12}父亲把茅草两头打了个结，递给了我。我接过鱼时，鱼突然“腾”地跳了一下，我兴奋地大叫。父亲笑了，干脆脱下了他那件自己做的透过纱眼能看见人的白色大背心，领口和袖口扭在一起打了个结。他提着下摆口，对着从山上淌下来的溪水。整条小溪全奔进了他的衣服里，又挣扎着从纱眼里四散逃出。我把手伸到水里，摸了摸父亲的背心，背心突然乱抖，有鱼在背心里徒劳地挣扎。我一时觉得，父亲的那件背心简直是神物。

　　{13}我欢呼着：“爸爸，有鱼！”父亲微笑着看我，眼神里满是鼓励。鱼又乱跳起来，我开始不顾一切地大呼小叫，拼命地“咯咯”傻笑。父亲也学着我的样子傻笑，跟着我一起大呼小叫。我早忘记了劳累。

　　{14}我们背着各自的蓑衣，一人提着一串鱼，一路唱着歌回家去。

　　{15}这天晚上，我睡得很香。我心中有了个幸福得不能再幸福的秘密――这个庞大的物体，不只是用来做裁缝的，他还会让我骑在他的肩上，会捕鱼，会与我一起大喊大叫……他离我这么近。在梦中，我迫不及待地把这个秘密告诉了全世界。

　　{16}第二天，我起得很早。我悄悄地拉开父亲的粗麻纱蚊帐，结果，父亲又不在了，我放声大哭。

　　{17}后来，父亲辞去了裁缝铺的工作，回到村里，买了台缝纫机，替村里人做衣服，收入陡然少了许多。父亲不去裁缝铺，据说是为了我。

　　{18}如今，父亲已经去世多年，缝纫机还在，只是落满了灰尘。

　　“铃，铃”下课铃响了，同学们都欢呼着，整个六年级都沸腾了。我们班的队伍浩浩荡荡地走向体育馆。为了这场篮球赛，我们班的女生珊、仪、舒、潼、莹苦练了几星期。每天放学都去练球，练就了一个又一个的“篮球高手”。这次女生队的对手是1班，气氛变得格外紧张，我和班里的同学坐在一旁，屏住呼吸，期待着比赛的开始。

　　裁判吹了一声口哨，1班和我们8班的女生队走进赛场，两队都一幅志在必胜，胸有成竹的样子。裁判把球一扔，比赛正式开始了。舒的个子高挑，是越过对手包围的优势，她敏捷地把球从对手手中夺走，然后用力把球传给“飞毛腿”珊。珊接到球后，迈着矫健的步伐躲开了挡住的对手，冲到篮架前，纵身向上一跃，把球投进了篮，不偏不倚刚好中了。我们班爆出一阵欢呼，“8班，8班加油！六8，六8，雄比天下”每个同学脸上都挂着灿烂的笑容。女生队似乎被我们的热情感染了，更加奋力地打球。莹从对手手中抢走了球，“艰辛”地越过了“敌人的围攻”，把篮球顺利地传给潼，潼稳稳地接住了球，东躲西藏，一路飞奔，把球扔向站在篮架前的仪，仪一跃身，接住球，来了个高难度的投篮，8班又一阵欢呼雀跃，这5个女生，真是默契，不愧是“高手”！

　　但好景不长，形势来了一个180度大转弯。1班的女生队开始发挥她们的优势，她们分开来守住球，绝不放过一个给我们班传球的机会。我也不得不承认，她们的配合确实可以算是天衣无缝了。下半场比赛时发生了一段不愉快的小插曲，珊抓住了一个机会，趁1班对手愣住时，她灵敏地把球抢到了。1班的一个女生很不服气，顺势撞了珊一下，哪知这一下出手太重。珊捂着肚子，回到班里，号啕大哭起来。同学们都围过来去安慰她，两班就开始大吵起来。珊擦了擦眼泪，不顾同学的劝阻，带着泪水又跑上了“战场”。她那坚定的眼神不禁让我暗暗佩服。

　　此时1班的分数和我们班的分数已经拉开了一段距离，也无法转败为胜了。但是，她们仍坚持比赛，挥汗如雨，继续比赛。裁判吹了一声哨子，比赛结束了，1班获胜。

勇敢的小裁缝范例篇3

　　同他谈起创业成功的秘诀，快人快语的郭正明笑道：“我祖祖辈辈都是作田人，哪有什么秘诀呀？如果一定要我讲，我认为作田人那句‘人勤地不懒’的话使我终生受益。”他说，今年我四十有四，能有今天，都是作田的祖祖辈辈从小教育我引导我做事要勤劳要敢于摸爬滚打，要一步―个脚印走好的结果。

　　办时装来料加工赢得创业第一桶金

　　1980年，17岁的郭正明高中毕业后没能考上大学，回到了生他养他的故乡――信丰县万隆乡万隆村布尾岭。看着他细瘦细瘦的身子，父母为他今后的生计安排颇费了一番思量：一介书生，手无缚鸡之力，天生就不是块作田的料，要谋生该让他去干什么呢？思来想去，父母决定让他去学徒做裁缝，因为干这活儿轻，都是一些“手头功夫”。郭正明深深体会到了父母的良苦用心，拜师学艺格外刻苦耐心。为尽快学到一手裁剪缝纫技术，白天他跟随师傅走村串户学做裁缝手艺，晚上找来废旧书报裁裁剪剪、缝缝补补。一晃3年过去了，郭正明“出师”了。因为他文化程度较高、悟性好，学徒时又格外用功，经他裁剪缝制出来的衣裤，不仅布料算得精准，而且款式新颖，找他做衣服的“东家”越来越多，郭正明很快成了小有名气的“裁缝师傅”。

　　名气大了，不仅找郭正明做衣服的顾客多，前来-要求拜师学艺的也逐渐增多。生意好了，他却苦于没有三头六臂来应付找他的顾客和拜师学艺的学徒。于是，他便想到在圩镇办-+服装来料加工店，腾出走村串户的时间来裁剪缝制衣服和指导学徒。1985年，郭正明在万隆圩租下了万隆村村部礼堂，办起了明星时装来料加工店。第二年，他为满足南下打工群体学技求职的需求，又办起了服装裁剪缝制短期培训班，培训时间两个月，随到随学。准确的定位，使他的生意颇为火爆，邻近的小河、正平及广东南雄界址、坪田的青年纷至沓来参加培训。一时间，郭正明的明星时装来料加工店成了邻近乡亲的职前培训中心。他也由此掘得了创业路上的第一桶金：1986年－1991年，短短5年间，他先后培训了1000余名南下求职青年，有很多人南下广东成为了制衣厂的业务骨干，有的当了“指导工”(班组长)，有的当上了车间主任，郭正明自己的收入加上来料加工的收入也累计达到了5万余元。

　　勇敢挑战自我改行成了酒楼老板

　　1991年，郭正明拿出做裁缝和举办服装裁剪培训班赚来的钱，在万隆圩上盖起了占地100余平方米的两层小洋楼。然而让人大跌眼镜的是，在住上小洋楼后，他却彻底放弃了干裁缝和举办服装培训班这一行。1993年，郭正明办了新居乔迁之喜的宴席之后，明星时装来料加工店的牌子换成了明星酒楼。远近乡亲和亲朋好友都好生纳闷：做服装、举办培训班，生意做得红红火火了却突然改行，真不知他吃错了哪门子药。而郭正明却有他自己独到的看法：改革开放几年了，人民的生活水平也提高了不少，人们的穿着打扮也改变了不少，自己剪布请师傅做服装的人越来越少，商场店铺里来自全国各地红红绿绿款式新颖多样的服装越来越多，村民们衣着打扮的选择也越来越宽，做裁缝这一行当要保住往日红红火火的辉煌越来越难。随着人们消费水平的提高，凭着自己炒的一手好菜，以及自己做裁缝手艺时吃过百家饭，结识的人多，在圩上办个饮食店准有出路。

　　郭师傅改行做饮食了，以往他做过裁缝的东家都为他感到惋惜。在赶集赴圩的时候，朋友们都喜欢来到他的酒楼泡上一茶，或炒上几个菜喝几口米酒。酒楼有远近乡亲和南来北往昔日东家的光顾，生意很快红火了起来。酒楼生意要做好，郭正明深知靠的是服务质量和良好环境。于是他在起早贪黑打点好酒楼生意的同时，潜心钻研烹调技艺，先后下县城赴赣州参加了烹调技术培训班。1993年，他又投资了3万余元，在酒楼大兴土木(装修)的同时，购买了彩电、VCD搞起了卡拉OK，并安装了空调设立了包厢雅座。酒楼环境的改善，使他的饮食生意越做越红火。食客的增多，不仅为他带来了不菲的收入，也为他带来了不少致富的信息。在经营酒店的同时，每年他都要为万隆乡亲销售生姜、生猪等成百上千吨农产品，使他在贩销农产品中也获益不少。

　　办起自来水厂惠泽邻里乡亲

　　风风火火经营酒楼几年，有一件事却让郭正明感到分外头痛：万隆圩饮用水资源缺乏，在大旱之年逢上生意好时，自家水井里的水不够用，常要请人到1公里外的地方去挑山泉水。他常想：要是万隆圩能像县城那样有自来水厂，用水时―拧水龙头，水就哗啦哗啦流出那该多好。但自来水厂由谁来建呢？省定贫困乡万隆的财政状况，仅供乡村两级吃饭已是捉襟见肘了。1999年，万隆乡党委、乡政府解放思想，提出要用市场运作的理念来兴办社会公益事业，包括建自来水厂，只要在确保水质安全性符合标准和价格适度的前提下，按照“谁投资谁经营谁受益”的原则，鼓励有实力的人投资兴办。郭正明瞄准这一商机，历时半年实地勘察调研，先后动员了3位生意场上的朋友一起于2000年投资了36万余元，在距万隆圩1公里外的高山上围池筑坝引山泉架水管，办起了一个日供水量达300吨的自来水厂。

勇敢的小裁缝范例篇4

　　Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

　　One summer morning a little tailor was sitting on his table near the window。 In good spirits， he was sewing with all his might。 A peasant woman came down the street crying， “Good jam for sale！ Good jam for sale！” That sounded good to the little tailor， so he stuck his dainty head out the window and shouted， “Come up here， my dear woman！ You can sell your goods here！”

　　The woman carried her heavy basket up the three flights of stairs to the tailor， who had her unpack all of her jars。 He examined them， picking each one up and holding it to his nose。 Finally he said， “This jam looks good to me。 Weigh out four ounces for me， even if it comes to a quarter pound。”

　　The woman， who had hoped to make a good sale， gave him what he asked for， then went away angry and grumbling。

　　“May God bless this jam to give me health and strength，” said the little tailor。 Then taking a loaf of bread from his cupboard， he cut himself a large slice and spread it with the jam。 “That is not going to taste bad，” he said， “but I will finish the jacket before I bite into it。”

　　He laid the bread aside and continued his sewing， happily making his stitches larger and larger。 Meanwhile the smell of the sweet jam rose to the wall where a large number of flies were sitting。 Attracted by the smell， a swarm of them settled onto the bread。

　　“Hey！ Who invited you？” said the little tailor， driving away the unbidden guests。 However， the flies， who did not understand German， would not be turned away， and they came back in ever-increasing numbers。 Finally， losing his temper， he reached for a piece of cloth and shouted， “Wait， now I‘m going to give it to you！” then hit at them without mercy。 When he backed off and counted， there were no fewer than seven of them lying dead before him， with their legs stretched out。

　　“Aren’t you someone？” he said to himself， surprised at his own bravery。 The whole town shall hear about this。“ He hastily cut out a banner for himself， then embroidered on it with large letters， Seven with one blow。 ”The town？“ he said further。 ”The whole world shall hear about this！“ And his heart jumped for joy like a lamb‘s tail。

　　The tailor tied the banner around his body and set forth into the world， for he thought that his workshop was too small for such bravery。 Before leaving he looked about his house for something that he could take with him。 Finding nothing but a piece of old cheese， he put that into his pocket。 Outside the town gate he found a bird that was caught in a bush。 It went into his pocket with the cheese。

　　He bravely took to the road， and being light and agile he did not grow weary。 The road led him up a mountain， and when he reached the top a huge giant was sitting there， looking around contentedly。

　　The little tailor went up to him cheerfully and said， ”Good day， comrade。 Are you just sitting here looking at the wide world？ I am on my way out there to prove myself。 Do you want to come with me？“

　　The giant looked at the tailor with contempt， saying， ”You wretch！ You miserable fellow！“

　　”You don’t say！“ answered the little tailor。 Unbuttoning his coat， he showed the banner to the giant。 ”You can read what kind of man I am。“

　　The giant read Seven with one blow， and thinking that the tailor had killed seven men， he gained some respect for the little fellow。 But he did want to put him to the test， so he picked up a stone and squeezed it with his hand until water dripped from it。

　　”Do what I just did，“ said the giant， ”if you have the strength。“

　　”Is that all？“ said the little tailor。 ”That is child‘s play for someone like me。“ Reaching into his pocket he pulled out the soft cheese and squeezed it until liquid ran from it。 ”That was even better， wasn’t it？“ he said。

　　The giant did not know what to say， for he did not believe the little man。 Then the giant picked up a stone and threw it so high that it could scarcely be seen。 ”Now， you little dwarf， do that。“

　　”A good throw，“ said the tailor， ”but the stone did fall back to earth。 I‘ll throw one for you that will not come back。“ He reached into his pocket， pulled out the bird， and threw it into the air。 Happy to be free， the bird flew up and away， and did not come back。 ”How did you like that， comrade？“ asked the tailor。

　　”You can throw well enough，“ said the giant， but now let’s see if you are able to carry anything proper。” He led the little tailor to a mighty oak tree that had been cut down and was lying on the ground。 He said， “If you are strong enough， then help me carry this tree out of the woods。”

　　“Gladly，” answered the little man。 “You take the trunk on your shoulder， and I will carry the branches and twigs。 After all， they are the heaviest。”

　　The giant lifted the trunk onto his shoulder， but the tailor sat down on a branch， and the giant， who could not see behind himself， had to drag long the entire tree， with the little tailor sitting on top。 Cheerful and in good spirits， he whistled the song “There Were Three Tailors Who Rode Out to the Gate，” as though carrying a tree were child‘s play。

　　The giant， after dragging the heavy load a little way， could not go any further， and he called out， “Listen， I have to drop the tree。”

　　The tailor jumped down agilely， took hold of the tree with both arms， as though he had been carrying it， and said to the giant， “You are such a big fellow， and you can’t even carry a tree。”

　　They walked on together until they came to a cherry tree。 The giant took hold of the treetop where the ripest fruit was hanging， bent it down， and put it into the tailor‘s hand， inviting him to eat。 However， the little tailor was much too weak to hold the tree， and when the giant let go， the tree sprang upward， throwing the tailor into the air。 When he fell back to earth， without injury， the giant said， “What？ You don’t have enough strength to hold that little switch？”

　　“There is no lack of strength，” answered the little tailor。 “Do you think that that would be a problem for someone who killed seven with one blow？ I jumped over the tree because hunters are shooting down there in the brush。 Jump over it yourself， if you can。”

　　The giant made the attempt， but could not clear the tree and got stuck in the branches。 So the little tailor kept the upper hand here as well。

　　The giant said， “If you are such a brave fellow， then come with me to our cave and spend the night with us。”

　　The little tailor agreed and followed him。 When they reached the cave， other giants were sitting there by a fire。 Each one had a roasted sheep in his hand and was eating from it。 The little tailor looked around and thought， “It is a lot more roomy here than in my workshop。

　　The giant showed him a bed and told him to lie down and go to sleep。 However， the little tailor found the bed too large， so instead of lying there he crept into a corner。 At midnight the giant thought that the little tailor was fast asleep， so he got up， took a large iron bar， and with a single blow smashed the bed in two。 He thought he had put an end to the grasshopper。

　　Early the next morning the giants went into the woods， having completely forgotten the little tailor， when he suddenly approached them cheerfully and boldly。 Fearing that he would strike them all dead， the terrified giants ran away in haste。

　　The little tailor continued on his way， always following his pointed nose。 After wandering a long time， he came to the courtyard of a royal palace， and being tired， he lay down in the grass and fell asleep。 While he was lying there people came and looked at him from all sides， and they read his banner， Seven with one blow。

　　”Oh，“ they said， ”what is this great war hero doing here in the midst of peace？ He must be a powerful lord。“

　　They went and reported him to the king， thinking that if war were to break out， he would be an important and useful man who at any price should not be allowed to go elsewhere。 The king was pleased with this advice， and he sent one of his courtiers to the little tailor to offer him a position in the army， as soon as he woke up。

　　The messenger stood by the sleeper and waited until he stretched his arms and legs and opened his eyes， and then he delivered his offer。

　　”That is precisely why I came here，“ answered the little tailor。 ”I am ready to enter the king‘s service。“ Thus he was received with honor and given a special place to live。

　　However， the soldiers were opposed to the little tailor， and wished that he were a thousand miles away。 ”What will happen，“ they said among themselves， ”if we quarrel with him， and he strikes out against us？ Seven of us will fall with each blow。 People like us can’t stand up to that。“

　　So they came to a decision， and all together they went to the king and asked to be released。 ”We were not made，“ they said， ”to stand up to a man who kills seven with one blow。“

　　The king was sad that he was going to lose all his faithful servants because of one man， and he wished that he had never seen him。 He would like to be rid of him， but he did not dare dismiss him， because he was afraid that he would kill him and all his people and then set himself on the royal throne。

　　He thought long and hard， and finally found an answer。 He sent a message to the little tailor， informing him that because he was such a great war hero he would make him an offer。 In a forest in his country there lived two giants who were causing great damage with robbery， murder， pillage， and arson。 No one could approach them without placing himself in mortal danger。 If he could conquer and kill these two giants， the king would give him his only daughter to wife and half his kingdom for a dowry。 Furthermore， a hundred horsemen would go with him for support。

　　”That is something for a man like you，“ thought the little tailor。 ”It is not every day that someone is offered a beautiful princess and half a kingdom。“

　　”Yes，“ he replied。 ”I shall conquer the giants， but I do not need the hundred horsemen。 Anyone who can strike down seven with one blow has no cause to be afraid of two。“

　　The little tailor set forth， and the hundred horsemen followed him。 At the edge of the forest， he said to them， ”You stay here。 I shall take care of the giants myself。“

　　Leaping into the woods， he looked to the left and to the right。 He soon saw the two giants。 They were lying asleep under a tree， snoring until the branches bent up and down。 The little tailor， not lazy， filled both pockets with stones and climbed the tree。 Once in the middle of the tree， he slid out on a branch until he was seated right above the sleepers。 Then he dropped one stone after another onto one of the giant‘s chest。 For a long time the giant did not feel anything， but finally he woke up， shoved his companion， and said， ”Why are you hitting me？“

　　”You are dreaming，“ said the other one。 ”I am not hitting you。“

　　They fell asleep again， and the tailor threw a stone at the second one。

　　”What is this？“ said the other one。 ”Why are you throwing things at me？“

　　”I am not throwing anything at you，“ answered the first one， grumbling。

　　They quarreled for a while， but because they were tired， they made peace， and they both closed their eyes again。 Then the little tailor began his game again。 Choosing his largest stone， he threw it at the first giant with all his strength， hitting him in the chest。

　　”That is too mean！“ shouted the giant， then jumped up like a madman and pushed his companion against the tree， until it shook。 The other one paid him back in kind， and they became so angry that they pulled up trees and struck at each other until finally， at the same time， they both fell to the ground dead。

　　Then the little tailor jumped down。 ”It is fortunate，“ he said， ”that they did not pull up the tree where I was sitting， or I would have had to jump into another one like a squirrel。 But people like me are nimble。“

　　Drawing his sword， he gave each one a few good blows to the chest， then went back to the horsemen and said， ”The work is done。 I finished off both of them， but it was hard。 In their need they pulled up trees to defend themselves。 But it didn’t help them， not against someone like me who kills seven with one blow。“

　　”Are you not wounded？“ asked the horsemen。

　　”Everything is all right，“ answered the tailor。 ”They did not so much as bend one of my hairs。“

　　Not wanting to believe him， the horesemen rode into the woods。 There they found the giants swimming in their own blood， and all around lay the uprooted trees。

　　The little tailor asked the king for the promised reward， but the latter regretted the promise， and once again he began to think of a way to get the hero off his neck。 ”Before you receive my daughter and half the kingdom，“ he said， ”you must fulfill another heroic deed。 In the woods there is a unicorn that is causing much damage。 First you must capture it。

　　“I am even less afraid of a unicorn than I was of two giants。 Seven with one blow， that is my thing。”

　　Taking a rope and an ax， he went into the woods。 Once again he told those who went with him to wait behind。 He did not have to look very long。 The unicorn soon appeared， leaping toward the tailor as if it wanted to spear him at once。

　　“Gently， gently，” said the tailor。 “Not so fast。” He stopped， waited until the animal was very near， then jumped agilely behind a tree。 The unicorn ran with all its might into the tree， sticking its horn so tightly into the trunk that it did not have enough strength to pull it out again， and thus it was captured。

　　“Now I have the little bird，” said the tailor， coming out from behind the tree。 First he tied the rope around the unicorn‘s neck， then he cut the horn out of the tree with the ax。 When everything was ready， he led the animal away and brought it to the king。

　　The king still did not want to give him the promised reward and presented a third requirement。 Before the wedding， the tailor was to capture a wild boar that was causing great damage in the woods。 Huntsmen were to assist him。

　　“Gladly，” said the tailor。 “That is child’s play。”

　　He did not take the huntsmen into woods with him， and they were glad about that， for they had encountered the wild boar before and had no desire to do so again。

　　When the boar saw the tailor he ran toward him with foaming mouth and grinding teeth， wanting to throw him to the ground。 But the nimble hero ran into a nearby chapel， then with one leap jumped back out through a window。 The boar ran in after him， but the tailor ran around outside and slammed the door。 Thus the furious animal was captured， for it was too heavy and clumsy to jump out the window。 The little tailor called to the huntsmen。 They had to see the captured boar with their own eyes。

　　The hero reported to the king， who now &mdash；&mdash； whether he wanted to or not &mdash；&mdash； had to keep his promise and give him his daughter and half the kingdom。 If he had known that it was not a war hero， but rather a little tailor standing before him， it would have been even more painful for him。 The wedding was thus held with great ceremony but little joy， and a king was made from a tailor。

　　Some time later the young queen heard in the night how her husband said in a dream， “Boy， make the jacket for me， and patch the trousers， or I will hit you across your ears with a yardstick。” Thus she determined where the young lord had come from。 The next morning she brought her complaint to her father， asking him to help her get rid of the man， who was nothing more than a tailor。

　　The king comforted her， saying， “Tonight leave your bedroom door unlocked。 My servants will stand outside， and after he falls asleep they will go inside， bind him， and carry him to a ship that will take him far away from here。”

　　The wife was satisfied with this。 However， the king‘s squire， who had a liking for the young lord， heard everything and revealed the whole plot to him。

　　“I’ll put a stop to that，” said the little tailor。 That evening he went to bed with his wife at the usual time。 When she thought he was asleep she got up， opened the door， and then went back to bed。 The little tailor， who was only pretending to be asleep， began crying out with a clear voice， “Boy， make the jacket for me， and patch the trousers， or I will hit you across your ears with a yardstick！ I have struck down seven with one blow， killed two giants， led away a unicorn， and captured a wild boar， and I am supposed to be afraid of those who are standing just outside the bedroom！”

　　When those standing outside heard the tailor say this， they were so overcome with fear that they ran away， as though the wild horde was behind them。 None of them dared to approach him ever again。

　　Thus the little tailor was a king， and he remained a king as long as he lived。
