Margit Rüfach and A Clean Sweep in Life

The fun of most presents is in the unwrapping. And, that's usually it – nothing more. But, the present that Margit Rüfach received from her husband turned out to be a sensation. It was a ball dress and just right for the opera ball in Vienna. Margit Rüfach was very excited. An expensive French dress for the best ball in the world. What could be better?

But, there was one very small problem. Margit Rüfach's husband didn't like dancing. In fact, he hated it. He was not going to go to the ball. End of story! Margit Rüfach would have to find a new dancing partner or go to the ball on her own. What was she to do? Margit Rüfach had a beautiful dress, a ticket for the ball, but, no one to dance with. And, then it came. Whilst sweeping the floor in the kitchen, Margit Rüfach had an idea. A light went on in her head. The kitchen broom. Margit Rüfach would go to the ball with her broom.

And, that's exactly what happened. Margit Rüfach went to the opera ball with her broom. And, she had a wonderful evening. And, as the whole world watched on on TV with amazement, Margit Rüfach and her broom danced all the great waltzes and they didn't stop until the very last dance. Margit had been swept off her feet by her broom. And, of course, they danced the last waltz together. They were a wonderful couple. And, funnily, many other women borrowed Margit Rüfach's broom to dance with as well. The broom was a wonderful dancer. But, the fun didn't stop there.

Now, many other women can be seen at balls with their kitchen brooms, too. Vienna has become the city to take one's broom to a ball. And, this is something that you can do too. But, there is only one very small snag. You have to pay for all that you drink. Brooms are not very rich. But, that's the worst that can happen.

The fun of most presents is in the unwrapping. But, the present that Margit Rüfach received from her husband turned out to be a sensation. It was a ball dress just right for balls in Vienna. A very white dress for very blue waltzes.
