The year is 1672 and a little African girl
about six named Teetay, goes with
her mother, Lelon, to work today.
The mother works as a servant at King Louis
XIV's
Palace of Versailles.
Teetay helps her
mother out at times with the work, and today
is no different.
After the day's work is done, and they are
about to leave. Teetay hears some music and
applause coming from the other side of a
barely open door, and she
walks over and looks
through the opening.
To her amazement, she sees men and women
wearing white tights and dancing, jumping,

silently says to herself, "they move so nice!"
After a couple of minutes more of
enthrallment, her mother comes her way and
says, "Teetay, it's time for us to go!"
