Adam's Sneak Peeks | Marjana and The Forty Thieves Part Two

Marjana went to a tailor way on the other side of the city, one who had never heard of her or Ali Baba or Kasim.

"Hello, Tailor Mustafa,"

She said, and trying to be as polite as possible, she said...

"How are you today?"

"How am I? How am I?" Tailor Mustafa replied.

"Ugh.

Well, my knees ache, and my joints creak, and my back hurts.

And you won't believe what someone had me sewing yesterday.

You ever seen an old lady's under-" Marjana realized that she'd made a mistake.

Tailor Mustafa was clearly one of those people who, when you asked, "How are you?" thinks you mean, "Tell me everything." Marjana quickly interrupted him and asked if he would make a shroud for her.

"Make a shroud?" said Tailor Mustafa.

"Of course.

It's my job."

"Um..."

Now Marjana tried to muster her confidence.

"Great.

So if you could just put on this blindfold, we can go."

"What?" cried Tailor Mustafa, as Marjana took her idea, a blindfold, out of her pocket.

"A blindfold? Why?"

"You'll remove the blindfold when it's time for you to sew,"

Marjana said.

"You'll just be blindfolded on the journey to and from the house."

"Absolutely not.

What an absurd request."

"Could you come blindfolded if I also gave you two gold pieces?"
