'' Look out, the wild washermen are coming!''

Once upon a time there were seven unhappy washermen. They had far too much washing to do and the owner of the laundry, Mr Balthazar Tight, was simply dreadful! So they decide to go on strike. They are so happy with the newfound freedom that it seems nobody can control them. Until along come seven woodcutters, eager to reach them a lesson. But the woodcutters may have taken on more than they had bargained for!
