Once upon a time
there was a girl
who desperately wanted
to become a dancer.
But some “good souls”
took the trouble to remind her
(if she ever forgot for a moment)
that she had such terribly,
horribly crooked legs...
“Sit tight honey.
Be small and happy.”
How - you “good souls” you -
how could she ever be happy
fulfilling your miniature dreams
and burying her dream, how??!
But then one day
the girl got up
wiped off her tears
and invented an awesome dance...
An aesthetic and exhilarating dance –
if you just watched it
you’d start dancing in your seat!
Such moves
that ONLY SHE COULD DANCE.
And all the other dancers
tried
to imitate her
but they couldn’t...
They just didn’t have
the legs for the job,
what can you do.
Our girl went up on stage
with a hesitating step...
But when she tried to get down...
they didn’t let her!
Flowers --
Flying Kisses --
Thunderous Applause --
“More! More!!!” they yelled.
She became famous.
Very famous indeed.
So many years have gone by
and the story rolled
from mouth to ear
so many times
that the original name of the girl
has been forgotten
from heart and tongue.
But there is a star with her name!
The name of the star is:
Walk out on a clear night
you will see high above you
a twinkling star
winking at you
like a mischievous eye.
It is her!
If you ever feel sad or desperate
or if you ever think
“I can take it no longer”
look up to the stars
and remember that girl
the dancer who taught us
a small BIG lesson.
