     There once was a seamstress named                                  , who was known to be the finest in the royal kingdom.  King                                used her exclusively for all his mending and sewing needs.                                had a young son named                          , who spent many a long day in the shop watching his mother do mending.  This was quite boring for a young boy.      One day, while                              was in the village to buy                             spools of                        to mend King                              royal robe, young                        was left alone to watch the shop.

In doing so, he tumbled a                            of hot tea all over King                                 royal robes.                        sat down with a loud THUD and began to cry.  He had made a mess of the king’s clothes, broke his mother’s                             , and had a                         stuck on his                           .  Things looked really bad for                       .      Just then,                             returned with her                            spools of                          . She was surprised to see the shop in such a state of chaos and was worried about                     , who was holding his                         and crying in the corner.
