NAME:
The former residents of my city say that in a time in the past, on a farm that does not exist today what's more, there were guitar roda nights when everyone: married, girls and boys fell in forró until the day. lighten.
There was always a beautiful girl who all the boys and widowers alike tried to court, but she mysteriously disappeared. On a full moon night, in the middle of the ball, the young woman appeared, beautiful as a diamond. Her white skin contrasted with the pink of her beautiful long dress and her locks rolled down her face, leaving her eyes blue as the sea even more beautiful.
One of the guys told his friend “Today I'll take her home”. He took her by the hand, led her to the middle of the room and never let go. She, from nervous, was sweating cold as if she were dead. There being no other way, the maiden let him accompany her to her house.
After a lot of walking, she said: "Thank you!" "I will take her to her house as I promised," replied the gentleman. “We're here now,” the girl told him. “How?” asked the startled boy. "Here is the cemetery." The young woman who was no longer so beautiful replied: “I've lived here for over two centuries”. After saying this, she went through the gate and disappeared through the tombs, illuminated only by the only witness: the beautiful full moon that saw everything, but said nothing.
The young man, in turn, was found weeks later, wandering the roads and, after telling his story to many, asked the priest to live in the church he never left.
As for the beautiful young woman, no one else saw her, but they say that, on nights with a full moon, a beautiful blonde, however cold, appears like a dream and embraces the bachelor boys.
