But they cannot say correctly which of them was a brother and who was a sister, believing that the month was a brother and the sun was a sister. My sister, living on earth, had a lover, but secretly from everyone. Her brother somehow found out and wanted to shame his sister in an extraordinary way. One dark night, when he was sure that his sister's lover would not come to her, he came to her himself; his sister mistook him for a luovnik, and caressed him as usual, but did not see him caress him. This surprised her a little, and as if as punishment, she decided to secretly impose a sign on his braid, on his head, in order to laugh at her lover in the morning. But instead of her lover, she sees her own sign from her own brother; she immediately ran away from home out of shame, and then became the sun, and her brother became a month old.
