Where to go when your trousers are too long? Who would be able to renew the zip of your skirt? What to do when your new shirt has been torn? Exactly, the local tailor will surely help you out! Because the collection of clothing stores is rather small here in Kosti, and many people cannot afford to buy new clothes all the time, the tailor is one of the most often visited people in town. Apparently, these tailors really fulfil a very essential task in the local society. So, when Frank's favourite shirt had been torn, leaving a big obvious hole on the front, he didn't hesitate to send his shirt for mending. All tailors here have a 'ready on the same day' policy, so after Frank had brought his beloved garment in the morning, he couldn't wait for the end of the day to come and wear his 'new' shirt again. It's interesting though that sometimes the result you have in mind, doesn't always match with the real-life result when you are faced with it. So, it happened that Frank's shirt was returned in a different state than expected; the place where the hole used to be, had been treated with an arsenal of needles and different coloured threats. A heap of 'stitches' stared at him, perhaps even more distinct that the previous hole. The tailor must have thought "
As long as it's seamed and closed!" And, whether we like it or not, we can't deny that he succeeded in doing so.
