Story Summary

Young Carlos practiced his flute everyday in the cloister gardens of Santa Eulalia until the Bishop told him to leave. Carlos begged but the Bishop growled not until the people of Barcelona danced the Sardana one foot above the ground. Well, with a flute, just the right tune, and a little magic on the side, miracles can happen.
