	W H O     F I D D L E S     I N     THE     SKY     ?
			Who fiddles in the sky - and makes the wee lassie dance above the Highlands ? Who fiddles in the sky - and makes the fairy lady dream in the lowlands ? For the fairy lady have a shaft left in her quiver ! In the open sky, the violin gives an A and all the stars began their wonderful ballet under the aegis of the flaming star which enlightens the dim forest of the night. And the fairy lady scrutinizes the starlit sky to discover the seal that she seeks. For the knights of the night have screened their seal behind the twinkling stars. And the fiddle is playing on and on. Now the cello gives the tunning A - and sets the tone. All the players of the night tuned their instrument to the pitch of the fiddle. And all the stars lead you a merry dance. Mindful of this warning, the fairy lady searches for the Milky Way. Nonetheless, the stars are flaming so much that the sky seems to be freckled, like a little girl. And the fiddle whispers an elegy from the infinite universe. Each star chant and dance majestically. However some freakish clouds appear from nowhere and sketch a queer picture in the starlit sky. And suddenly a thought dawns on the fairy lady and she grins broadly. The clouds vanish while the stars are still dancing their sweet ballet. And the lady fairy still smiles, blissfully happy - like a little girl ... And the fiddle is still playing. And the wee lassie is still dancing. And the fairy lady is still smiling.
