There was an avalanche on Šar Planina (a mountain range NW of Skopje) and three shepherds were buried alive. (lit. the mountain burst or cracked and covered up three shepherds.)
The first shepherd pleads, “Let me go, Šar Planina. I have a wife who will mourn me”. The second shepherd pleads, “Let me go, Šar Planina. I have a sister who will mourn me”. The third shepherd pleads, “Let me go, Šar Planina. I have a mother who will mourn me”. The mountain answers: “The wife will mourn until midday. The sister will mourn until she leaves home. The mother will mourn unto the grave". |
