Berla Estienne: The Man Who Out-Danced the Devil




Berla Estienne was always a bit of an oddball. He was the kind of kid who would rather play with his toys than go out and play with the other children. He was also the kind of kid who would rather make up his own stories than read the ones that were assigned to him in school.
But Berla Estienne had one passion: dancing. He would dance everywhere, all the time. He would dance in his bedroom, in the kitchen, and even in the bathroom. He would dance to any type of music, from classical to rock to hip-hop.
One day, Berla Estienne was dancing in the park when he saw a group of people gathered around a man who was playing the fiddle. The man was playing a very lively tune, and Berla Estienne couldn't resist dancing to it.
As he danced, Berla Estienne felt a strange energy coursing through his body. He felt like he was floating on air, and he was able to dance with a grace and agility that he never knew he possessed.
The people in the park were amazed by Berla Estienne's dancing. They had never seen anything like it before. They cheered and clapped, and Berla Estienne felt like he was on top of the world.
But then, something strange happened. The man playing the fiddle suddenly stopped playing and turned to face Berla Estienne. The man had a strange look in his eyes, and Berla Estienne felt a chill run down his spine.
"You dance very well," the man said. "But do you think you can out-dance the devil?"
Berla Estienne was taken aback by the man's question. He had never thought of himself as a dancer who could out-dance the devil. But then, he thought about it for a moment, and he realized that he was not afraid of the devil.
"Yes," Berla Estienne said. "I think I can out-dance the devil."
The man smiled, and he began to play a new tune. It was a very fast and challenging tune, but Berla Estienne was able to keep up with it. He danced with all his heart and soul, and he put all of his energy into his performance.
As he danced, Berla Estienne felt the energy coursing through his body again. He felt like he was flying, and he was able to dance with a grace and agility that he never knew he possessed.
The people in the park were amazed by Berla Estienne's dancing. They had never seen anything like it before. They cheered and clapped, and Berla Estienne felt like he was on top of the world.
The man playing the fiddle was also amazed by Berla Estienne's dancing. He had never seen anything like it before. He stopped playing and turned to face Berla Estienne.
"You have out-danced the devil," the man said. "You are now the greatest dancer in the world."
Berla Estienne was stunned by the man's words. He had never thought of himself as the greatest dancer in the world. But then, he thought about it for a moment, and he realized that it was true. He had out-danced the devil, and he was now the greatest dancer in the world.
Berla Estienne smiled, and he bowed to the people in the park. He then turned and walked away, his head held high. He knew that he would never forget this day, the day that he out-danced the devil and became the greatest dancer in the world.
