    Tips

    July 16, 2024

    According to legend, a young forester fell asleep while resting nearby. His hat fell into the grass. The devil, who was there at the time, saw this. He liked the hat and wanted it at all costs. He quickly crept up to the sleeping man, grabbed the hat and hid it in the grass. When the forester woke up, he noticed that his hat had disappeared and began to look for it. But the search was unsuccessful and he cursed loudly: "Oh, let the devil take it!" The devil was very happy about this, took the hat out of its hiding place and threw it up to heaven in sheer happiness. However, instead of the hat, a stone came back to earth.
