JAMIE Ah! First, a story. New and unpublished. A little Christmas story. I call it "The Story of Schmuel, Tailor of Klimovich." Merry Christmas. Schmuel would work 'til half-past ten at his tailor shop in Klimovich, Get up at dawn and start again with the hems and pins and twist. Forty-one years had come and gone at his tailor shop in Klimovich. Watching the winters soldier on, there was one thing Schmuel missed. "If I only had time," old Schmuel said, "I would build the dress that's in my head, A dress to fire The mad desire Of girls from here to Minsk, But I have no more hours left to sew." Then the clock upon the wall began to glow... And the clock said: "Na na na na, na na na, Oh Schmuel, you'll get to be happy! Na na na na, na na na, I give you unlimited time! Na na na na, na na na, So Schmuel, go sew and be happy!" But Schmuel said, "No, no, it's not my lot – I've gotta make do with the time I've got." Schmuel was done at half-past ten and he said, "Good night, old Klimovich," Put on his coat to go, but then the clock cried, "Wait! Not yet! Even though you're not wise or rich, you're the finest man in Klimovich! Listen up, Schmuel – Make one stitch and you'll see what you can get!" But Schmuel said, "Clock, it's much too late. I'm at peace with life, I accept my fate..." But the clock said, "Schmuel! One stitch and you will Unlock the dreams you've lost!" So Schmuel, with reluctance, took his thread. He pulled a bolt of velvet and he said: "I should take out my teeth and go to bed, I'm sitting here with talking clocks instead!" And the clock said: "Na na na na, na na na, Oh Schmuel, you'll get to be happy! Na na na na, na na na, I give you unlimited time! Na na na na, na na na, Just do it and you can be happy!" So Schmuel put the thread through the needle's eye And the moon stared down from a starless sky, And he pushed the thread through the velvet black And he looked, and the clock was turning ... back! So he grabbed his shears and he cut some lace As the hands moved left on the old clock's face!
