Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a magical tapestry that was made by the finest weavers. The tapestry was woven with the finest silk thread, and it was so beautiful that everyone who saw it was amazed.

The tapestry was made of two types of threads, the warp threads, which ran vertically and the weft threads, which ran horizontally. The weavers were very skilled, and they alternated between the warp and weft threads to create a stunning pattern.

One day, a mischievous fairy got hold of the tapestry and decided to play a trick. She used her magic to distort and warp the threads, making the pattern look all twisted and crooked. The once symmetrical tapestry was now a mess, and everyone was upset.

The weavers tried their best to fix the tapestry, but nothing seemed to work. They were about to give up when a wise old man came along and offered to help. He told the weavers that the only way to fix the tapestry was to go back to the previous pattern and then weave it back together, thread by thread.

The weavers listened to the wise old man, and with his help, they were able to fix the tapestry. The once distorted and warped threads were now straight and symmetrical again, and the tapestry was once again a beautiful work of art.

The moral of the story is that sometimes, to fix something that has gone wrong, we need to go back to the beginning and start again. And with patience and hard work, anything can be fixed.
