The legend of Lake Naroch

Many years ago there lived a girl called Nara. She could sing very well and play the psaltery .She loved a young man and wanted to marry him. One day she was sitting near a large beautiful lake when a rich man saw her. He liked Nara so much that he wanted to marry her. As Nara had a fiancé she didn't want to marry the rich man. But the rich man was very stubborn, and his servants killed Nara’s fiancé and took Nara to the rich man’s palace. The girl was so unhappy that when everybody was sleeping, she set fire to the palace, and ran away. When the rich man learnt about it, he sent his servants after Nara. As she couldn't run away from them, Nara dived into the lake and died. From that time the lake was named Lake Naroch.
