• Late spring is the time of flowering and affectionate feelings*

• Emelya once again ran away from his father and household needs to the river, where he often disappeared fishing and dreaming*

• There was no catch, and dreams still did not come to mind, but then he heard a loud splash next to him, right behind a large century-old oak tree*

Emelya ran there and, looking out from behind the thick branches, saw a naked girl. She was coming out of the water… Her hair was wet, but decorated with pearls, and she wore a shiny translucent shawl on her shoulders*
