The
women lived alone in the house with her two children. In the evenings
the house was very dark. Her life had been difficult and she was no
longer young. She had been married many times and had given birth to
many children. Two of her children were still young.
There was only one thing in their lives that brought them happiness and that was her beautiful violin. She kept it in a case, safely wrapped in a black silk scarf.
When she gently lifted the violin from the case, the black scarf slid from the violin to the floor.
She
would say to the children, "you must treat a beautiful instrument with
care. Do not break the rosin and do not touch the strings of the bow."
Then she would raise the violin and draw the bow across the strings of
the instrument.
The woman appeared very beautiful and strange as she played the violin. The children believed that the music caused the shadows to dance on the walls.
The boy would take the black silk scarf and toss it up into the air. It would extend across the dark room like a great, black shadow.
