A story designed with music by George R. Foa
Here is the story of the Chinese slave girl, Li, who was very tiny and very lovely, with dark tresses and dark eyes, and should surely have been bought by an AladBin. But the merchant who bought her made her life wretched. There was a cherry tree in the garden that had never bloomed. One day poor little Li leaned against the cherry tree, and burst into tears. And behold! a miracle happened-and for the rest of this delicate little story, you must use your own ears.
