His disciples were delighted .
The finest cloth was bought.
The village tailor was summoned. he came in to have the Master measured, and promised:
"By the will of God, I will have the shirt ready within a week."
A week went by, and a disciple was dispatched to the tailor, while the Master excitedly waited for his shirt.
Said the tailor, "There has been some delay. But, by the will of God, it will be ready by tomorrow."
The next day, the tailor said, "I'm sorry it isn't done. Try again tomorrow, and, if God wills, it will certainly be ready.
The following day, the Master said: "Ask him how long it will take if he keeps God out of it!"
