Poor Rhodopis! She has nothing - no mother or father, and no friends.
She is a slave, from the far-off country of Greece. Only the beautiful
rose-red slippers her master gives her can make Rhodopis smile. So when
a falcon swoops down and snatches one of the slippers away, Rhodipis is
heartbroken. For how is she to know that the slipper will land in the
lap of the great Pharoah himself? And who would ever guess that the
Pharoah has promised to find the slipper's owner and make her queen of
all Egypt?
