A legend that begins with the magic words: "Once upon a time." Once upon a time, there was a little girl nicknamed Mimezrane for her beauty and especially for her beautiful braids. She was beautiful but had strangely sad eyes. She was orphaned at a very young age. Her boyfriend and confidant was Hennouche, a mischievous little boy with big black eyes. They lived together a carefree childhood. Time passed. They grew up. Hennouche became a goat herder with a melodious voice; Mimezrane, for her part, became a washerwoman and, on occasion, a water carrier. Both accepted their fate without ever complaining. Yet, even in her poverty, Mimezrane was the most beautiful of all.
