Maiden with the Water of Life

I came down the mountain carrying my pitcher filled with the Water of Life.

On my way, a few drops of the precious water slopped onto the stones underneath my feet. All at once, the stones changed into young men and women!

They shouted with joy and crowded around me, thanking me for their liberty. After that, I set about sprinkling all the stones on the mountain with the Water of Life. A great many people had been turned to stone.

Enough to fill an entire country!
