   “Once there was a beautiful day when I was going to the square for a moment to find her, she was very beautiful and nice, after the woman looked at me, it made me blush to speak the first time and we met all the beloved eyes, again we always get together every day to find the place, two years later we had already had a fabulous wedding with two families….

   The beautiful black girl fell in love with her father and told him all her story that she be beautiful. Then her father got up in the chair due to rare back pain while she was worried what would happen to her father when he fell on the floor because he was very ill, her daughter was desperate to come help him to the bedroom. Two hours passed, the beautiful black girl took care of her father in trying to heal, sitting on the bed and her hand caressing that hand to cheek: "I can't work, but we just need money, then you can look for a new job, my daughter" the father replied to her, she had to decide because we were poor, but the house will be beautiful, when he advised affection and love to her in joy. Kissing her forehead, she leaves father's sleeping place. After thinking of each window through her she saw the starry sky, smiling to pray her hands on the open window in behind space or room, at night.

   On another day, the aunt of the beautiful black girlcame to take care of her father, she got sick, when she kissed her father, her aunt, for leaving to look for a job as a nanny or a mansion maid. She walks further towards the mansion, she was tired for little her feet hurt, she spends two hours to find the mansion.

   The old lady had opened the door before knocking, the beautiful black girl revered her greeting, she smiled that she was smiling.

   "I want to work something for being a servant," she said to her.

   "Exactly I need you to work, get advice, those places to clean in my mansion."

   When passing between the beautiful and pure mansion, she showed her some places are dirty in talking while three maids came to place of two, they started to be jealous because the new maid appeared for the first time, they were all black people. Then the old lady let her go with her, who began to clean with her broom. Each time the black maids made fun of the new silent rumor because the head lady believed that she was happy to love another female maid because they had hidden in the door.

   "Little black, little black, little black," they said to the beautiful black girl, who is as low as she seems from the figure of a girl.

   She was sad that they were heavy and silly to speak ugly words. Two hours later, the beautiful black girl was carried with a garden kettle to throw water on the ground of plants and flowers in this garden when the lady boss came to talk to her with her smile that knowing her story or the life of this servant, she was a kind and sweet person between the boss lady and beauty Black girl in speaking very well and positively while three black maids saw them curious through the window above or two floors, they were in the garden.

   Then the grandson and his girlfriend arrived walking to his grandmother, next to the maid, surprising and embraced a greeting, the beautiful black girl contemplated admirable eyes at her grandson he was handsome and intelligent as a handsome black man, but the bride had to be black, she was more beautiful and rich, she grew sad:

   "I must go," she said with reverence to the elderly lady chief. "Yes, go, I have already accepted, to your work in my room to put, you must clean everything."

   The beautiful black girl walked towards a door in the garden, her grandson's girlfriend hesitated, curious she was strange, the handsome black side spoke with her grandmother.

   Before sunset, when the work was finished, the old lady boss gave the little money to the new maid from outside the mansion, they greeted each other. Every hour the beautiful black girl walked further towards the town on the way there is the desert, she was so tired. Then the house came, her aunt went out, she was seeing her father who was sick in the bedroom, she didn't speak much when he passed out, eyes tired and closed while the beautiful black girl felt desperate again and uncomfortable that being alone was unbearable. Then she was looking for another doctor in the town, she was already crossing the same house to arrive, a doctor investigated what is sick in her father, she said the most expensive medicine because she should pay the doctor, the beautiful black girl fell into debt without money when he walking out while he was sobbing in his arms crossing himself in father's bed, at night with the stars and moon.

   "But I am so happy to be poor, I love my family, so you will make me luxurious for money, they are going to be silly and happy," exclaimed the beautiful black woman to imprecate them, they were silent with anger.

   When a black maid took out with a wooden bucket, she poured the water on the body, it was wet in the old and weak clothes like an ugly dress. Three maids yelled at her to speak ill of rudeness and indifference and leaving a new enemy while the handsome black surprised to run to save her at the door, he took a beautiful black girl with his hand, she is standing in front of him who speaks with a timid voice : “thanks” to a handsome black man replied that nothing happened to her to say for being quiet.

   "Sorry, I've been tired for a long time for your mansion," she answered.

   "You will let work at night, but you will wear the new and beautiful dress, I would like to meet you."

   The beautiful black girl impressed to revere him, it seems like a prince, but the grandson of the richest woman had a lot of money, going out to another door, every time the beautiful black girl was sad because her dress was not beautiful, so thought of in debt in the courtyard.

   Last night, she went back to work which she finished five hours ago for cleaning work. When going to the garden, but hiding what to go in they did not know that, the beautiful black girl walked to the small side at the naughty door of the garden in the desert, she felt anxious, kneeling to fall to the ground, pray to her in front of the desert lake:

   "My love, mother, mom I miss you, believe me, I'm worried about my dress not being good, because I can't go to the party, but they invite me."

   The beautiful black girl called her to the starry night sky, a talking star appears, we are surprised that we can hear it.
