The fairy tale The Seamstress and Her Scissors was put down by Dragotin Kette. It tells the story of a girl named Bogdanka, the castle seamstress who had a pair of magic scissors: whatever she ordered, the scissors would cut out themselves, Bogdanka only had to sew. But the lady of the castle also wanted to get hold of the scissors. Some day she took the scissors from Bogdanka and chased her out of the castle.

Thus the little seamstress got her scissors back and, modest and kind-hearted as always, continued to sew…
