Then he spake : `` Dear wife , we can restore him to life , but the price asked is our two little sons ; we must sacrifice them . '' The Queen grew white and her heart sank , but she replied : `` We owe it to him on account of his great fidelity . '' Then he rejoiced that she was of the same mind as he had been , and going forward he opened the cupboard , and fetched the two children and Trusty John out , saying : `` God be praised ! Trusty John is free once more , and we have our two small sons again . '' Then he related to her all that had passed , and they lived together happily ever afterward . -LRB- 1 -RRB- -LRB- 1 -RRB- Grimm . THE BRAVE LITTLE TAILOR One summer 's day a little tailor sat on his table by the window in the best of spirits , and sewed for dear life . As he was sitting thus a peasant woman came down the street , calling out : `` Good jam to sell , good jam to sell . '' This sounded sweetly in the tailor 's ears ; he put his frail little head out of the window , and shouted : `` up here , my good woman , and you 'll find a willing customer . '' The woman climbed up the three flights of stairs with her heavy basket to the tailor 's room , and he made her spread out all the pots in a row before him . He examined them all , lifted them up and smelled them , and said at last : `` This jam seems good , weigh me four ounces of it , my good woman ; and even if it 's a quarter of a pound I wo n't stick at it . '' The woman , who had hoped to find a good market , gave him what he wanted , but went away grumbling wrathfully . `` Now heaven shall bless this jam for my use , '' cried the little tailor , `` and it shall sustain and strengthen me . '' He fetched some bread out of a cupboard , cut a round off the loaf , and spread the jam on it . `` That wo n't taste amiss , '' he said ; `` but I 'll finish that waistcoat first before I take a bite . '' He placed the bread beside him , went on sewing , and out of the lightness of his heart kept on making his stitches bigger and bigger . In the meantime the smell of the sweet jam rose to the ceiling , where heaps of flies were sitting , and attracted them to such an extent that they swarmed on to it in masses . `` Ha ! who invited you ? '' said the tailor , and chased the unwelcome guests away .
But the flies , who did n't understand English , refused XXXXX let themselves be warned off , and returned again in even greater numbers .
