Summary

edit
Description Once, a shepherd boy saw golden shells glistening in the sun at Gutenberg Castle. When he tried to fill these into his pockets, he hit an invisible wall. When he looked up, he saw an enchanted maiden guarding the treasure with a flaming sword. Her golden hair was braided in two plaits, emeralds and rubies adorned her forehead. The woman, waiting for salvation, said to the shepherd: „If you swing me by my plaits three times around, without looking and without speaking, then I am redeemed and you will get the treasure“. The brave boy thought of the golden shells; he would keep his eyes and mouth closed. As he swung the woman around by her braids twice, the gold flashed through his closed eyes. It was almost the third time around, when he looked up and saw, that he was holding two snakes in his hands. The words slipped from him: „Jesus, how cold!“ With a thunder, the maiden and the treasure disappeared. From the wall the boy heard the plaintive cry: „Now I have to wait a hundred years for redemption!“ (by Stiftung Propter Homines, Vaduz) Balzers, January 24, 2021. (1/4)
