Artist's legend:

"Well, she just started to dance, she was alone at the time. Then some people came, then the children. Some people started throwing coins and money, saying to her "you sing beautifully, you dance beautifully - could you please start all over again?". She answered "don't bother yourself, I was only dancing to please the praying Mantis".
