TRANSCRIPT
.
The river Ter in Manlleu is the site of some
incredible legends…
Watch out! The serpent is not
an ordinary snake!
It eats everything in site:
pigs, horses, donkeys and sheep;
it eats chariots, soldiers and priests…
Pere dared to walk into the Devesa forest…
Pere thought; “This is my chance”. He grabbed the
diamond and ran as fast as he could.
The serpent came back from the river. You can’t
imagine how angry it became when it saw the
diamond had been stolen.
The serpent used its strange powers and
followed the scent of the thief.
“I will hide the diamond under the mortar”
– the boy thought.
The serpent wrapped its body around
the mortar. It wanted to turn it, to
break it… The serpent squeezed and
squeezed but finally, exhausted, it
died…
They offered the diamond to Our Lady of the Spring.
