on such a day that I may meet my son-in-law!”
The appointed day came. The aldar prepared many kosarts, set tables, and the people sat down to feast. The sorceress's son also sat at the table, but he had not brought the boy with him.
The aldar handed his daughter a glass and said:
– “My daughter herself knows her soulmate. Whoever she hands the glass to will be her husband.”
The aldar's daughter went out with the glass, went around, looked at everyone, but did not hand the glass to anyone, turned back and sadly went to her room. She paid no attention to the son of the sorceress, who was sitting at the table, she did not even look at him.
The aldar gave an order:
– “Gather tomorrow everyone, adults and non-adults, worthy and unworthy – all without distinction!”
Again he set the tables. They gathered all the people they could. And the boy dressed himself in the clothes of a beggar and came to the feast; he tied a ring on his finger with a rag, saying that he had cut his hand.
People sat down at the tables. The girl took out a ladle of beer – a glass of honor – and began to walk around the tables, looking at people intently. But her gaze stopped on no one.
