As bright as brass, as good as gold,
Was little Teeza, four years old —
Was little Teeza mischievous?
Ah no, — she never made a fuss!
But she would tease to come and go
Whenever mother told her “No!”

0:00.0	Welcome to Goop Tales, episode 48, Tiza and the Taj Mahal. I'm Maria Kalanchini, and I'm the author of Goop Tales.
0:16.6	So in today's episode, we are going to India to the Taj Mahal.
0:23.4	So I have never been to the Taj Mahal, but I hope to go one day.
0:27.9	But I'm very intrigued by it, and it's obviously a super popular tourist destination.
0:36.2	And for those of you young listeners who don't know what it is,
0:40.8	the Taj Mahal, even though I refer to it in the story as a palace, it's not technically a palace,
0:47.8	although it looks like a grand Indian palace. It is a mausoleum. And a mausoleum is a very fancy word for a tomb, a place where people
1:00.8	are buried. So the Taj Mahal was created over 400 years ago by the ruler in India, the emperor Shah Jahan, and he made the Taj Mahal to bury his
1:18.8	favorite wife called Mumtaz. So you'll hear a little bit about that in the story,
1:25.8	but I just wanted you to know what the Taj
1:28.4	actually is.
1:31.0	And let's see, what else did I want to tell you about this story?
1:36.1	An interesting fact is that it took over 20,000 workers from all over, from India, from Persia at the time, from Europe, with over a thousand
1:48.8	elephants to build the Taj Mahal. So it is quite a marble, and maybe you'll get to see it
1:57.8	one day too, if you haven't already. So that's what I wanted to tell you
2:01.9	about the story. And before we start into it, I also wanted to give a little shout out to two people,
2:09.8	or a couple people, to Langston, who sent me in a very cute email and said that, Langston, I am not sure if you're a boy or girl. I'm sorry
2:20.3	because I just got an email from Langston. I think it's a boy and he got a Roodella t-shirt.
2:26.7	And I love that. I would love to see a picture of you in your Roodella T-shirt. I'm going to start Instagramming more.
2:35.7	I never do that social media stuff,
2:37.7	but I really want to connect with you guys more
2:39.8	and show you what's going on
	...
