The Tailor And The Giant

Once upon a time in France there lived a poor tailor named Aron. Aron was a honest man and struggled hard to earn his living as he had no work. Aron had a friend name Mark who worked as a cook in the royal kitchen. One day Mark heard the Queen saying that she would offer a huge amount of money and costly gifts to any tailor who can stitch her a beautiful gown within one night in the old ruined church. The old ruined church was haunted, and villagers say that fearsome things were to be seen there by night.

Mark went to his friend Aron and told him about the queen's proposal. Aron was quite excited and wanted to take up the challenge as he needed money badly, however he was afraid to stay for the whole night in the ruined church but was left with no option. Aron convinced Mark to take him to the queen and Mark agreed. The next day the two friends went and met the queen and Aron agreed to stitch a beautiful gown for the queen within a night in the ruined church and the queen promised Aron that she will gift him with precious jewel's and money if he succeeded in doing so. 

So when night came Aron came to the old church. He went inside the church, lighted a candle and put on his thimble, and set to work plying his needle nimbly. For some time Aron felt quite comfortable, until he felt the floor all of a tremble under his feet. Aron tried to ignore what he felt and went on with his work. Suddenly he felt someone was approaching towards him and to his surprise he saw a headless Giant standing in front of him. The giant held his head in his hands. The giant asked Aron to stitch his head and Aron agreed to do so but on the condition that the giant should wait until Aron finished with his work of stitching the queen's gown. The giant agreed to Aron's condition but informed Aron that before the dawn breaks he should stitch his head or else he would kill Aron. Aron started working as speed as he could and finished the queen's gown before dawn and started stitching the giant's head. The giant was pleased with Aron's sincerity and awarded him with a bagful of gold coins.

Aron took the money and left for the castle as the queen was waiting for him. When the queen saw the dress she was not much impressed by the design of the gown however she was pleased with Aron for being brave by staying the whole night in the church and finishing the task on given time. She awarded Aron with a bagful of silver coins. Aron was pleased by the gift and went home happily with two bags of gold and silver coins. Aron lived happily forever.
