Poor tailor & the dress
Once there was a poor tailor, who desired to make a magnificent dress for the wealthy aristocrat who would bypass his shop daily to social functions. But the measurements of the royal blood are considered a secret in the society culture, only the royal dressmaker can have the information. Hence, being just a lay tailor down the street, he did not have the privilege of her measurements. So, as the royal pass his shop everyday, he would observe her, getting an estimate of the measurements.
After some estimation, he set to work on the dress. Fueled by his passion, he indeed managed to make a dress fitting for a queen. Hence, he is proud of his craftsmanship. However, he still needed to catch the royal’s attention. So, he hanged the dress at the window, hoping to catch her attention one day. On the first day, she did not notice the dress. Subsequent days were not promising either. Holding on to the hope that one day his dress would be noticed, he waited patiently.
Days of anticipation finally paid off. The aristocrat finally saw the dress fitting of her. Followed by a delegate of attendants, she walked into the humble shop, wanting to try the dress. After trying it on, the measurement was close to perfect. However, being a royal, everything calls for perfection. So, though she liked the dress, she could not make any decisions. The humbled tailor pleaded for her to allow him chance to create a perfect fit, hoping that the royal would include the dress in her wardrobe collection. The royal allowed. 1 week later, the royal came back to try the dress, but still adjustments are still needed.
The time taken for such adjustments can be long. It ranges from a few days to years, or even a lifetime. Acknowledging that, the tailor was determined to work on the adjustments. Will the royal allow her actual measurement to be taken?? Will she acknowledge the effort of the tailor??
