I got all the books, and I will be reviewing some of them here, stay tuned! In this story, a tailor and a shoemaker meet up on the road to a big city, and they decide to travel together. They are a study in opposites, as the tailor is rather carefree, open, generous, and likes to leave things to chance.

How it works

  • <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirS7NNmHevFC3_H2zyZPkWWqBYL-yVH7VenDOMWgwsDLxRZ9A665hwHz-oMi89VM7Q_O3W9EUbzfpZmUuI4NPCnDjjkVupi...
  • The shoemaker is reserved, severe, penurious, and likes to plan everything out in advance.
  • The shoemaker gets easily annoyed by the tailor, and even attempts to leave him a few times.
  • When they come to a point where the trip will take either two or seven days, the tailor does not take enough water to sustain him, and then the shoemaker strikes a dark bargain for his companion to survive.
