Not long after his visit to China, Frank Fouche decided to share Yeh-Shen with the Europeans. So, out of the first portionof the Chinese fable, Frank gave the Ayitian literature a play called Tezen, that is the story of a little girl and her friend thefish (Tezen). This story, by the way, has been successfully included in our collection of folktales. On the other hand, it is not as clear as to how the last portion of Yeh-Shen developed into the European Cinderella. For all we know, during the so-called commercial revolution, European curiosity about the East grew. It expanded, particularly after Marco Polo, a 13th-century Venetian who presumably visited Cathay (China), published his diaries about adventures and China's great riches.Mirroring Confucius' saying, I must say, The past is like a river flowing. So, out of all the ancient civilizations came many works of arts, as invaders simulated mixes of traditions. Simply put, we plagiarized from each other. In the world of theatre, however, this is called adaptation and sometimes, imitation, or artificial version.Allow me to share with you a bedtime story, in which many Ayitian children once found solace, and hopefully will continue to do so by reading: Tezen!
