A young man who was alone
in the world decided to get married. He was handsome and rich, but it seemed
that in the whole land there was not the right wife for him: either they were
too young, or too old. There remained just one lovely young maiden, whom he had
met at the well, but she seemed to be a bit mad. Not only did she say that her
stepmother was a fairy, but she also insisted that her stepmother would only
allow her to marry a man who could perform a certain very difficult task. “What
is that?” asked the young man.
“He has to make a hole in
the water.”
“That’s impossible,”
exclaimed the young man. “You will never find a husband.”
“Yes, I will find one,”
replied the young girl. “My stepmother says that when someone is truly in love,
they can even work miracles.”
