Jaak&Liisa 🌼🦋🌸

 The summer heat, the time to make hay was upon us and our best scythe man was bedridden ... At the Milk-shed there was an advertisement seeking help from anyone able to.  The pay is a decent meal and some change for your pocket!  The carpenter's apprentice, a young man, reading the advertisement had experience mowing hay with his father to provide for the livestock.  The decision was quick, money needs to be raised for the winter and a full meal tastes better when you are away from home!  The carpenter was a kind man and let him take the job.

The scythe sang and the haystacks grew behind the mowers. The summer morning heat and the smell of freshly mowed hay made me drunk, my mouth was dry and my stomach ached as the sun neared midday ...

  The food was delectable, the cold sour birch syrup with raisins was exactly what the cutters desired.  The daughter of a large farmer kindly poured a juice to everyone and smiled happily when thanked!

 The apprentice carpenter felt a pang of romance and decided that, if possible, he would try to invite the girl to the village for the midsummer party!

 Once the evening arrived, the large farmer drove to the meadows to bring the good workers to dinner and give them their pay.  Everyone was satisfied and the carpenter's boy had also been able to pass on his invitation to Liisa while helping clean and break down the table to store in the shed.

The Midsummer party was great, dancing around a big fire, girls with wreaths of wildflowers on their heads and the heads of their lovers. The carpenter’s apprentice, Jaak,  got a wreath on his head too  .. 😀 Liisa, the farmer's daughter, laughed and laughed and told Jaagu that once that the man she chooses must have golden hands, be able to fulfill all of her wishes, and bring her a wreath of wildflowers on a winter day!  😀 Jaak took in this knowledge completely and silently!  Time flew and the young people got together, walked hand in hand to the gate, accompanied by the nightingale’s song. Jaak got his first kiss from Liisa!  This gave the young man courage and enthusiasm, and since the carpenter had already hired him as his assistant and promised him a decent salary, the young man was sure that he has good standing to go to the main farmer Alexander and ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage. The whole village was already aware that the young couple is the most beautiful couple in their county, and the farmer couldn’t say anything against the boy when Liisa told him and her mother about Jaag.

Jaagu aroused in the morning and decided that after today,  he would either stay on as carpenter’s apprentice or go back to his father to help him fish in lake Peipsi ... snowflakes under the windows which gleamed in the lamplight ... Jaak smiled, washed his face and shaved his beard.  The carpenter had promised him his chariot and horse on this important day, Jaak with a surprise wrapped in his blanket set off to the farmstead!

 Everything went on like a fairy tale, the young man was expected and everyone was happy. Then once the father consented, Jaak turned to the flushing Liisa and asked: “will you marry me, Lisa?”  Liisa smiled, at the same time, Jaak got up and ran to the yard, he ran back into the room with his surprise. She desired a loop of wildflowers on a winter day so he made it so!  “I always want to carry you in my heart and support you in everything, please become my wife !?” Liisa smiled, recalling her wish on Midsummer's Eve ... Of course Liisa agreed, and as all fairy tales end: they lived happily ever after .... 🌸🦋❤️
