It was the middle of the war, and everything was in short supply. Up in Yorkshire, Nora Lightowler was in her kitchen washing her dirty dishes. She looked out into the small garden, and saw something tangled in the bush. She left the dishes, and walked out into the garden. It was getting dark, so she knew she needed to hurry. She walked up to the bush, and studied it carefully. She realized, that it was a parachute! She reached out and grabbed the chute, but as she did, she caught her stockings on the bush. It ripped all the way up her leg. "Oh bother" She looked at her stocking and decided she would leave the parachute till the morning.
The next morning, Nora went next door. She walked into her garden with three of her next door neighbours sons. Between the three of them, it still took a lot of work to drag the large parachute up the garden and into the house. Nora thanked them and got to work immediatly. She spent the next week, turning the large parahute, which happened to be made of soft nylon, into knickers. Nora still had the problem with her stockings. They were the only pair she had, and she couldnt make some out of the white parachute. She looked at the ripped stockings, and attempted to fix them, but failed. She looked in her coupon book, but realized she didn't have enough. The Americans hadn't been in a while, so she hadn't been able to get any from them. Then all of a sudden, an idea popped into her head. 'I'll make it look like i've got a pair on!' So she ran up stairs, and grabbed a black pen. She drew a black line down the backs of her legs, to make it look like the seam on a pair of stockings! The next morning she went down to the local shop, and no-one seemed to realize! So she had got away without wearing a pair of stockings and wearing a parachute for knickers!
