  1. (continued from previous page)
    asked his sisters to shorten it but they said that they had too much work to do. Before he went to bed he shortened it and sewed it. When one of the sisters had her work done she shortened it. The other sisters cut more of it and they went to bed. When John got up in the morning his trousers would not reach his knees and he could not get married and he never got another chance.
