  1. There once lived a tailor and he was getting a lot of work to do. Every morning when he would get up his clothes would be made. So one night he watched and he saw twelve fairies making the suits. He was very pleased when he saw them. And he made twelve suits for them. Next morning when he got up the suits were gone. And the fairies made no more suits for him after that, because he watched them.
