| Summary/Abstract |
To be able to laugh and to be willing to adjust: these little life-affirming qualities are highlighted with affection and detail in this story replete with cultural resonances. This is a crisp adaptation of a delightful Turkish tale. Ismat the shoemaker is a happy, contented sort and on the occasion of Eid, decides to buy his family special gifts. He is persuaded to buy a pair of trousers for himself but there is only the one last pair on the shelves, and it's too long. Long trousers can always be shortened, can't they? So Ismat takes his gifts home. Eid arrives, and it comes with a shock and surprise!
