An ugly black man comes up, offers to transport him with the agreement that each of them will kiss him. The older and middle sisters think that no one will see or say it, they kiss a black man and find themselves on the opposite bank. The youngest does not agree, takes off her stockings, enters the water and crosses the river. She tells her sisters she'll tell her father how they kissed a black man. The sisters are plotting to kill her. As soon as the black man leaves, they grab their sister's arms and legs, cut off her head, drag her to the river and throw her down. My aunt is told that her younger sister did not come because she is unwell, and her father is told that she stayed with her aunt. From the girl's blood drops, reeds grow on the shore.
