2.A desperate man came to a wise philosopher. 

He asked: "Why don't dreams come true?

Why does nothing come of what was planned?

I was born into a poor family and inherited nothing except my craft.

My parents could not give either money or education.

Health is also so-so.

And miraculous means , and expensive resorts did not add much strength.

I remained a frail, thin little man.

3.I can not build a big house, I started, but I don’t have enough money.

I am mired in debt.

I strive for a better life, but it only brings losses.

I already have nothing to pay the loans with.

Why is this happening?

I am unhappy.

And my unhappiness is increasing.

Explain, and instead of payment, I will sew you beautiful clothes - I am a tailor! "

The philosopher agreed and promised to answer when the tailor sews him a beautiful cloak.

 He pulled out a piece of cloth from the trunk and handed it to the tailor;

 here it is necessary to sew a raincoat from it with cuffs,

a belt, with cuffs and pockets, it will come in handy in winter!


4.The tailor looked at the fabric and said: "Are you insane, about a philosopher?

This piece is only enough for a hat or a belt.

It's a tiny piece of cloth, it won't be enough for a cloak!"

5.The philosopher agreed to the belt.

 And the tailor made this belt - very beautiful. He was a master of his craft. 

The philosopher sold the belt in the bazaar and got good money.

 And then with this money he bought a piece of cloth ten times larger

than the one from which the belt was sewn.

6.He handed this cloth to the tailor and asked:

"Now is it enough for a raincoat?"

7.The tailor understood. 

You should use whatever piece of fabric you have.

 Sew and cut from it. 

Only then can you count on more, that's all.

8.We must proceed from what you have. 

What you have.

 Not enough material for the cloak, sew a belt. 

Not everyone from birth has a large supply of energy and opportunities,

but the one who cuts from what is available wins. 

And it increases its energy gradually.

9.Step by step, taking into account the possibilities,

we must move towards the goal.

10.... And the tailor then sewed a beautiful cloak for the philosopher in gratitude for the good advice.

 And he built a house after three winters, when he gradually paid off his debts - step by step ...
