Oh hi, we’ re making a community patchwork blanket for Refugee Week Scotland. Do you want to...
... Oh right yeah well my mother told me a story about these two, erm, men that make shoes, what do you call them again?
Cobblers?
Yeah, anyway they were both fighting for the affection of the princess. So she, you know... the princess, decided to set them a task and the winner would win her affections. So she asked them to make a pair of shoes each and she would provide the materials, whoever finished first would be the winner. But the princess had fallen for one man in particular so she made sure to give him a shorter thread, just enough you know? She gave the other a really long piece of thread to work with. The man she had fallen for finished first and they lived happily ever after.
