ABSTRACT

Before he will give Cathy her Christmas present, Jamie wants to tell her the story of Schmuel, the “tailor of Klimovich.” Schmuel works long hours every day just to keep up with the day-to-day operations of his business. He has a dream of producing a fantastic dress that will fire “the mad desires” of women everywhere. But he is too busy. That is, until a talking clock convinces him that if he starts to produce the dress, the time will appear – which it magically does! The clock says “Oh Schmuel, you’ll get to be happy … I give you unlimited time.” With this time, Schmuel goes after his dream, produces the dress, and it turns out to be as fantastic and life-changing as he was hoping.
