00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:07.250
Long ago, there was a lady who loved sewing with

00:00:07.250 --> 00:00:10.208
a red bandana around her head.

00:00:10.208 --> 00:00:13.416
She was called “the red bandana lady”.

00:00:13.416 --> 00:00:17.291
The red bandana lady had seven friends

00:00:17.291 --> 00:00:19.750
that never left her. They were

00:00:19.750 --> 00:00:26.916
ruler, scissors, needle, thread,

00:00:26.916 --> 00:00:31.833
thimble, traditional iron,

00:00:31.833 --> 00:00:33.750
and iron.

00:00:33.750 --> 00:00:37.166
One day, when the red bandana lady fell asleep,

00:00:37.166 --> 00:00:40.750
Mrs. Ruler showed off her height

00:00:40.750 --> 00:00:44.250
and said,

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:47.791
"The lady's sewing is all thanks to

00:00:47.791 --> 00:00:50.916
me. Do you think she would be able to measure

00:00:50.916 --> 00:00:54.458
the width and the length of the fabric

00:00:54.458 --> 00:00:56.666
without me?

00:00:56.666 --> 00:00:59.833
Ha, no way! That's why I'm the

00:00:59.833 --> 00:01:02.291
most important tool among

00:01:02.291 --> 00:01:04.333
us!"

00:01:04.333 --> 00:01:06.791
After listening to her, Ms. Scissors jut her lip

00:01:06.791 --> 00:01:10.375
and argued.

00:01:10.375 --> 00:01:13.833
"Oh, what are you talking about?

00:01:13.833 --> 00:01:16.999
You're not even considering my effort, and

00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:20.208
you're just talking about yourself. Measuring means nothing

00:01:20.208 --> 00:01:23.250
if the lady can't cut the fabric.

00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:26.583
I'm the one who helps her the most."

00:01:26.583 --> 00:01:29.416
Then Ms. Needle, who was listening quietly,

00:01:29.416 --> 00:01:33.041
joined in

00:01:33.041 --> 00:01:35.625
with her sharp words.

00:01:35.625 --> 00:01:38.708
"Measuring and cutting can't make

00:01:38.708 --> 00:01:41.541
clothes. Nothing is complete unless you sew

00:01:41.541 --> 00:01:44.125
it into the final shape!

00:01:44.125 --> 00:01:47.250
Clothes are only complete

00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:50.333
when I stitch the fabric together.

00:01:50.333 --> 00:01:52.541
Without me, sewing is

00:01:52.541 --> 00:01:53.958
impossible."

00:01:53.958 --> 00:01:57.583
Ms. Red Thread, the elegant lady, snorted

00:01:57.583 --> 00:02:00.375
and began to praise herself

00:02:00.375 --> 00:02:03.291
with ease.

00:02:03.291 --> 00:02:06.791
"Ho ho ho, dear. It's not all

00:02:06.791 --> 00:02:09.875
thanks to your effort. No matter how much you

00:02:09.875 --> 00:02:12.583
work, a needle without a thread is

00:02:12.583 --> 00:02:15.291
useless.

00:02:15.291 --> 00:02:18.500
A stitch and even a half stitch is only done

00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:21.291
when I join in. So I'm the most important

00:02:21.291 --> 00:02:24.375
one among us. Ho ho ho!"

00:02:24.375 --> 00:02:26.958
Madam Thimble, who was watching their argument

00:02:26.958 --> 00:02:31.541
with ridicule, puffed on her pipe and

00:02:31.541 --> 00:02:34.416
joined in.

00:02:34.416 --> 00:02:39.083
"Ahem, maybe it's time for me to join chime in!

00:02:39.083 --> 00:02:42.666
If you're talking about importance, I'm the one you

00:02:42.666 --> 00:02:46.833
need. I'm the one who protects the lady's finger all day

00:02:46.833 --> 00:02:50.208
from getting hurt.

00:02:50.208 --> 00:02:53.500
Sewing is impossible when you hurt your

00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:56.916
fingers! I'm the most important

00:02:56.916 --> 00:03:01.000
one for sure."

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.083
Ms. Traditional Iron, who was simply listening because

00:03:04.083 --> 00:03:06.708
she was younger,

00:03:06.708 --> 00:03:09.583
joined in.

00:03:09.583 --> 00:03:13.000
"You're all boasting too much.

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.000
Who looks through the rough stitches

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.000
and trims them sharply

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.500
to get them into shape?

00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:27.208
I'm the best worker, so please stop

00:03:27.208 --> 00:03:28.916
arguing."

00:03:28.916 --> 00:03:31.791
The young iron finally spoke

00:03:31.791 --> 00:03:34.666
as if she earned the courage to

00:03:34.666 --> 00:03:36.625
to join in.

00:03:36.625 --> 00:03:39.083
"Me too…. I also do the same thing

00:03:39.083 --> 00:03:41.999
as Ms. Traditional Iron. I have to straighten

00:03:41.999 --> 00:03:44.708
the wrinkles and the folded parts.

00:03:44.708 --> 00:03:47.708
That's what makes clothes

00:03:47.708 --> 00:03:49.791
look good…"

00:03:49.791 --> 00:03:52.291
Meanwhile, the red bandana lady woke up to the sound

00:03:52.291 --> 00:03:55.041
of the seven friends' argument. She listened to their

00:03:55.041 --> 00:03:57.416
boasts and suddenly sat up,

00:03:57.416 --> 00:04:00.875
speaking in an angry voice.

00:04:00.875 --> 00:04:03.791
"Well, all of you think you're the

00:04:03.791 --> 00:04:06.416
best. No matter how hard you try,

00:04:06.416 --> 00:04:08.916
you can't do anything without my hands.

00:04:08.916 --> 00:04:12.041
I'm the most important one, not

00:04:12.041 --> 00:04:15.125
you! How dare you wake

00:04:15.125 --> 00:04:17.666
me up with your noisy argument

00:04:17.666 --> 00:04:20.750
without realizing the truth?!"

00:04:20.750 --> 00:04:23.625
The angry lady shoved the seven friends in

00:04:23.625 --> 00:04:26.916
her sewing box and

00:04:26.916 --> 00:04:29.875
fell asleep again.

00:04:29.875 --> 00:04:33.125
The seven friends were shocked by the lady's words

00:04:33.125 --> 00:04:36.666
and stayed quiet for while.

00:04:36.666 --> 00:04:40.583
Mrs. Ruler, Ms. Scissors, Ms. Needle,

00:04:40.583 --> 00:04:45.791
Ms. Red Thread, Madam Thimble, Ms. Traditional Iron,

00:04:45.791 --> 00:04:49.708
and young iron became very sad.

00:04:49.708 --> 00:04:53.208
They were sad about the fact that

00:04:53.208 --> 00:04:55.999
they were useless,

00:04:55.999 --> 00:04:59.583
unimportant, and replaceable.

00:04:59.583 --> 00:05:03.750
Ms. Scissors, who had a short temper,

00:05:03.750 --> 00:05:06.416
was about to run out the door, and Madam Thimble

00:05:06.416 --> 00:05:10.041
stopped her in time.

00:05:10.041 --> 00:05:13.458
But in the red bandana lady's dream,

00:05:13.458 --> 00:05:16.083
a strange thing was happening

00:05:16.083 --> 00:05:20.583
as well. She looked for her seven friends

00:05:20.583 --> 00:05:22.625
to sew, but they were nowhere to

00:05:22.625 --> 00:05:25.875
be found.

00:05:25.875 --> 00:05:30.208
She looked all over the place,

00:05:30.208 --> 00:05:33.791
but she couldn't find

00:05:33.791 --> 00:05:37.541
any of them. So she ended up

00:05:37.541 --> 00:05:40.333
crying.

00:05:40.333 --> 00:05:43.750
The seven friends saw the lady

00:05:43.750 --> 00:05:46.708
crying in her sleep and

00:05:46.708 --> 00:05:49.708
were surprised.

00:05:49.708 --> 00:05:53.666
"What's wrong with her?"

00:05:53.666 --> 00:05:56.458
"She seems to be having a nightmare."

00:05:56.458 --> 00:06:00.125
"Oh, poor lady. Let's wake her up."

00:06:00.125 --> 00:06:02.625
"Phew!"

00:06:02.625 --> 00:06:06.333
The red bandana lady was relieved that it was

00:06:06.333 --> 00:06:09.458
a dream.

00:06:09.458 --> 00:06:12.833
Then, she spoke while lowering her head

00:06:12.833 --> 00:06:14.291
in shame.

00:06:14.291 --> 00:06:18.458
"Ladies, I'm sorry. I was too harsh

00:06:18.458 --> 00:06:22.458
on you. I didn't realize how

00:06:22.458 --> 00:06:24.666
important you

00:06:24.666 --> 00:06:27.875
all are. We need each other to

00:06:27.875 --> 00:06:31.333
do the job."

00:06:31.333 --> 00:06:34.416
The red bandana lady and the seven friends

00:06:34.416 --> 00:06:38.541
looked at each other and smiled shyly.

00:06:38.541 --> 00:06:43.375
Since then, the lady and the seven friends worked

00:06:43.375 --> 00:06:46.833
harder with joy.

00:06:46.833 --> 00:06:51.791
Hurray, what a joy! Hurray, how exciting!

00:06:51.791 --> 00:06:55.125
The seven friends are all here.

00:06:55.125 --> 00:06:59.833
After Ms. Ruler measures the fabric carefully,

00:06:59.833 --> 00:07:05.333
Ms. Scissors cuts them in good shape,

00:07:05.333 --> 00:07:11.041
Ms. Needle's skill makes Jing-nyuh jealous,

00:07:11.041 --> 00:07:16.750
Ms. Red Thread gets stitched beautifully,

00:07:16.750 --> 00:07:22.541
Ms. Traditional Iron gets it into shape with her sharp foot,

00:07:22.541 --> 00:07:29.000
and young Iron straightens every wrinkle with one slide.

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.875
Meanwhile, Madam Thimble keeps my fingers from getting hurt.

00:07:33.875 --> 00:07:39.375
I'm so grateful. My friends are very important to me.

00:07:39.375 --> 00:07:43.791
Hurray, what a joy! Hurray, how exciting!

00:07:43.791 --> 00:07:45.999
The seven friends are all here.
