The Serpent-Wife
A solitary labourer, happiest wandering the woods alone, meets a great serpent who offers him strange instructions — and following them brings him a beautiful wife and a life of unaccountable good fortune. But she asks one thing of him, a single word he must never speak. A haunting tale of a gift freely given, a warning unheeded, and the price of a careless tongue.
A traditional tale from the Cossack tradition.
