The Creation of the Fiddle

This is a story of the Roma people (Gypsies), and it comes from Transylvania in central Romania. You can find out more about Roma musical traditions at Wikipedia.

The story is 600 words long, so it will take about three minutes to read, or five minutes to read out loud.
