A modern fairytale, moving, tender and timely, that talks about the power of words and the importance of communication, with words warming every heart.

　　Once upon a time in a small town that looked like a village, there lived a tailor; a tailor who was unique, for his favorite sewing material was words. Words from stories, words from poems, from songs, from old tales and dictionaries and encyclopedias… In this way, word by word, he made entire sentences that joined the fabrics together or knitted scarves and hats. His customers always cheerful in the clothes made by their unique tailor.
　　The years went by. And the town grew and didn't look like a village any more. It was filled with tall blocks, broad streets, cars and colorful advertising boards. And its people started climbing up and down the tall blocks, rushing around the broad streets in their cars and gazing at the colorful advertisements. They became hurried and forgetful. And so they gradually forgot their unique tailor…
