There were two sisters. And then misfortune came to their land.

Enemy hordes ravaged all living things in their path. They swore to
avenge the suffering of the people. More than one Tatar detachment
found its death in the thickets and impenetrable swamps, where they
were led by the brave girls.Once again, they led the enemies into
a trap, but they themselves were killed by the outlanders. Drops of
maiden blood were picked up by the wind, and scattered everywhere,

and where they fell, viburnum bushes grew. Since then, they grow
either above the water, or near the forest, or above the ravines, or
even at the graves, evoking longing and sadness.
