The Brave Little Tailor is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm.
The retelling of this tale for our stage includes themes of bullying which has become a very important topic for our day. Students will enjoy a classic story while being educated that while we may be smaller or the minority, we should not be bullied.
A tailor is preparing to eat some jam, but when flies settle on it, he kills seven of them with one blow. He makes a belt describing the deed, "Seven at one blow". Inspired, he sets out into the world to seek his fortune. The tailor meets a giant, who assumes that "Seven at one blow" refers to seven men. The giant challenges the tailor. When the giant squeezes water from a boulder, the tailor squeezes water (or whey) from cheese. The giant throws a rock far into the air, and it eventually lands. The tailor counters the feat by releasing a bird that flies away; the giant believes the small bird is a "rock" which is thrown so far that it never lands.

The Wright brothers were two of seven children. In 1878 their father, who traveled often brought home a toy "helicopter" for his two younger sons. The device was based on an invention of French aeronautical pioneer Alphonse Pénaud. Made of paper, bamboo and cork with a rubber band to twirl its rotor, it was about a foot long. Wilbur and Orville played with it until it broke, and then built their own.
Later in life the brothers capitalized on the national bicycle craze (spurred by the invention of the safety bicycle and its substantial advantages over the penny farthing design), the brothers opened a repair and sales shop in 1892 (the Wright Cycle Exchange, later the Wright Cycle Company) and began manufacturing their own brand in 1896. They used this endeavor to fund their growing interest in flight.
