Legend about the Owl Mountains

Drawings by Karolina L., class 6c

A rich nobleman had 7 beautiful daughters. 

He loved them, but was very jealous.

One day a tradesman sells them a magic shawl, 

which changes people into animals. The shawl 

can be used only three times. The girls run 

away from their home.

When father finds out his daughters aren't at 

home, he asks a witch for help. She gives him a 

magic branch of a beech tree.

Father starts looking for his daughters. When 

they see him, they wave the shawl and change 

into hares. He changes into a hawk using the 

magic beech branch.

The hawk flies towards the hares and then 

they wave the shawl and change into the 

roe dear.

The hawk waves the beech branch and 

changes into a wolf and chases the roe deer 

again. He almost catches them...

Then the roe deer wave the magic shawl 

and change into the owls. The owls fly 

away and never return home.

Father can't catch his daughters. He misses 

them but he never meets them again. He dies 

of grief alone without his beloved daughters.

The girls can't be people again because they used the 

magic shawl for three times. The owls have flown  

over the mountains since then and that is why people 

called the mountains THE OWL MOUNTAINS.
