A beautiful looking young woman walked out of her cottage. She had long dark chocolate brown hair tied into a blue ribbon with a matching blue dress with white sleeves, an apron and black slip on shoes. She had a basket with a book inside of it with her as she went around the little town. 

Camila: Little town, it's a quiet village 

Everyday, like the one before 

Little town, full of little people 

Waking up to say

Everyone in the village gave a friendly greeting to Camila as she walked along. Camila noticed there was the baker carrying a tray. He had a scruffy ginger colored beard with a white toque, a green shirt, brown belt, blue pants and brown shoes.

Camila: There goes the baker with his tray like always 

The same old bread he rolls to sell 

Every morning just the same 

Since the morning that we came to this poor provincial town 

"Good morning, Camila!" the baker greeted. 

'Good morning monsieur," Camila replied as she walked over to him. 

"Where you off to?" the baker asked as he set down his tray. 

"The bookshop," Camila replied. "I just finished the most wonderful story, about a beanstalk and an ogre and-"  

"That's nice," the baker cut her off as he went back to work. "Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!" 

Camila shrugged him off, rolling her eyes and proceeded to walk to her location as she passed some local women. 

Women: Look there she goes 

That girl is strange no question

Dazed and distracted 

Can't you tell? 

Lady: Never part of any crowd 

Man: 'Cause her head is up some cloud 

All: No denying she's a funny girl 

That Camila 

Man: Bonjour

Girl: Good day

Man: How is your family?

Pretty lady: Bonjour 

Husband: Good day 

Pretty lady: How is your wife? 

Mother: I need six eggs

Owner: That's too expensive

Camila: There must be more than this provincial life!  

Camila got off of the wagon and walked inside the bookstore. 

Bookseller: Ah, Camila 

Camila: Good morning, I've come to return the book I've borrowed 

Bookseller: Finished already? 

Camila: Oh, I could put it down

Have you anything new? 

Bookseller: Not since yesterday 

Camila: That's all right 

I'll borrow this one 

Bookseller: That one? But you've read it twice 

Camila: Well, it's my favorite 

Faraway places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise
