    Long, long ago it is said that there was a lovely forest and in it lived a man, woman and an little girl. The girl went picking flowers and she got a pain in her head and died on the spot. The woman was spinning. She got a realing in her head. She imagined she saw a man with tow heads coming towards her and he had a coffin on his shoulders. He let down the coffin on the floor and the next night her brother died.
