I’m sure the needle YOU sharpened will sew denim just fine…” A minute later, Jean shouted triumphantly – “It worked! This needle went through the denim like a hot knife through butter!” Jean’s husband took a modest bow and said, “I’m happy to have been of service, my dear.”
25. A tailor, weaver, and haberdasher all lived in the same village and were fierce competitors. One day, the tailor boasted “There’s not a single person in town who doesn’t wear something I’ve sewn for them.” The weaver scoffed and said “That’s nothing, I guarantee every home here has sheets, towels and blankets made on my loom.” Not to be outdone, the haberdasher chimed in “Well I provide the hats and caps for every head in this village!” After much bickering, they decided to have a contest to settle things once and for all. On the appointed day, all the villagers gathered in the town square. The tailor, weaver and haberdasher each made their case proudly. The mayor considered carefully before announcing “You’re all winners! The tailor clothes their bodies, the weaver their beds, and the haberdasher their heads. There is honor and glory enough to go around.” And the moral of the story is – no needle how competitive, there’s room enough in a village for every thread.

Nothing else sews a seam quite so fine and even.” As Joan left disappointed, the shopkeeper muttered under his breath, “Geez lady, thread the needle much?”
