(202 words) On Epiphany evening, my friends wondered. That night Svetlana was very sad because her dear was far away. The girl is afraid to die alone. Beloved has not been writing for a whole year. Svetlana earnestly prays and hopes that God in heaven combines her marriage with the bridegroom.
Girls offer fortune-telling on a betrothed. She will see him. Svetlana sits down at the mirror, dead silence around. The groom's spirit heard her murmur.
A man goes to the girl. There is no more separation for them. The spirit offers to get married and hears a humble agreement. They are coming. The bride tries to talk with the groom on the road, but he does not answer, only looks sadly at the moon. The damsel sees a black coffin. Pop says: "Be taken by the grave!". A raven croaks over the sleigh: "Sorrow." Horses run to the only hut. Upon arrival, everything disappeared. A lonely girl bangs on the hut with prayer. The door staggered and dissolved. The house is covered with a coffin. The face of Christ stands at the feet, in front of the candle. The bride with a cross in her hand under the icons lurked. Around the dead silence, a snow-white dove hugs Svetlana. A dead man moves in a coffin. He is her fiance.
The damsel has awakened. One is sitting at the mirror, thinking that sleep is not good. He looks out the window, her narrowed rides. Svetlana is no longer worried about a bad dream, because the beloved is next to her, and all the same sincere love is in his eyes.
