LITHUANIAN MYTHOLOGICAL TALES
 
 

Weave, Weave, Krauzelë

A woman was weaving, but she stopped and went outside for a bit. A laume sat down in her place and began to weave. The woman came back and begged, "Give me back my weaving." 
The laume said, "Guess my name."
The woman understood that she was a laume. She went out- side and listened to the laume weaving and singing, "Weave, weave, Krauzele. You’ll have linen."
The woman went back in and said, "Thank you, Krauzele." 
The laume became angry and said, "Your good fortune is my misfortune!"
