The woman turned into stone
Once A woman saw two men being rowed across a lake, and sat down to wait. They came, they proposed to take place in their kayaks, because one of them had no wife, and was willing to marry her. But the woman did not want to take her husband drove the men and let them go kayaking. As soon as he face their shoulders, having placed hands on a great stone, all of a sudden it was as if the stone dragging it toward you.
was the Spirit of the stone that took it because he had refused beings like her. When the stone pulled apart, she began to stiffen, and when she saw it she began to scream as loud was the men's kayak: - Dear, go back: take me to wife, if you want! - But that they continued to row, and she cried again: - Dear, go back: take me to wife, if you want! Here are my feet become stone, my legs become stone, my body turns to stone. -
But not those of the kayak listen to his cries, and the Spirit of the stone took her for himself, and was turned into a stone column.
