A young woman became a widow shortly after giving birth to a beautiful baby girl. She raised her daughter all alone, going through some difficult times. The young girl made an irrational promise to her mother: to remain to her mother’s side until her death, so the mother could live peacefully in her old age.
So, the young girl grew up and turned into a true beauty. A handsome young man from the next village laid eyes on her and asked the young girl to marry him. Love was swiftly in the air and the girl forgot about her given promise. Matchmakers came to take the bride away, but her mother cursed them in her grief: “Whoever fails to keep their promise let them turn into a stone!” The mother’s curse was grave.

They stand there as if to remind us that the spoken word is a stone cast…
