A rich man’s wife became very ill. When she felt that she would die soon, she called her only daughter to her.

Hungarian

– Drága gyermekem, légy jó, és higgy Istenben. Akkor Isten mindig vigyáz rád. Én az égből nézek majd rád, és közel leszek hozzád.

English translation

“Dear child, be good and believe in God. Then God will always watch over you. I will look down on you from heaven, and I will be close to you.”

Hungarian

Ezután az asszony meghalt. A lány mindennap kiment az anyja sírjához, és sírt. Továbbra is jó maradt, és hitt Istenben. Télen hó borította a sírt. Mire tavasszal elolvadt a hó, az apja már újra megnősült.

English translation

Then the woman died. Every day, the girl went to her mother’s grave and cried. She remained good and believed in God. In winter, snow covered the grave. By the time the snow melted in spring, her father had married again.
