Author’s recommendation
Beautiful water nymphs live in the Mummelsee. They help people with house and farm chores. However, they must always be back in the lake in time in the evening. Once, a water nymph fell in love with a farmer boy and lost track of time during a dance. She had to pay for this with her life.
