The gypsy cursed her daughter in her hearts. Why she cursed her - God knows, the gypsy just shouted to her daughter:
- May you drown, may the devils drag you to hell, may you burn there with hellish fire!..
The girl cried out of resentment and went into the forest. But before she had time to take even a few steps from the camp, devils appeared out of nowhere. They beat the drums, dance, and in front is the elder devil, so terrible that you can’t even look at him: he’s overgrown with fur, he has horns on his head, his tail drags along the ground. The devils grabbed the girl and dragged her through the forest. Suddenly the earth shook in front of them, parted, and the devils and the gypsy flew into the abyss. They flew for a long time until they reached the bottom. The gypsy sees: the cave is huge, and it’s full of people.
There is a fire burning in the cave, and people are roasting above the fire, crucified on wheels. The gypsy got scared:
- Lord, save me, don’t let me burn in hell. As soon as she uttered these words, the devils picked her up and flew to the ground with her. They drag her to the sea, tie a stone around her neck, and then let her swing her to throw her into the water and drown her.
“Lord,” the gypsy woman prayed, “don’t let me drown in the sea.”
As soon as she said these words, the devils took the stone from her neck and dragged her to the cemetery. The gypsy sees: the grave is dug up and the devils want to throw her into this grave and bury her.
“Lord, do something, I just can’t get rid of the evil spirit,” the gypsy cried for the third time.
And as soon as she said these words, a rooster crowed in the village and the evil spirits ran away in all directions.
