But the flirtatious ballerina only laughed and said that she could not love him because he had no heart. And one day the ballerina became ill and dying she told the luminary that she loved him too. The master came, wound the clock, the ballerina revived and was the same old gaggle, thinking only of herself. What does she care about a poor young man in love? The main thing is that she lives and enjoys life…
