#FolkloreMoment : Once, a man encountered a snake who followed him home. He grew very fond of the snake, and one day she told him: "If you were to marry me, you would have no cause for complaints."

After thinking it over, he agreed. Then he took a ring from her tail, and they went to an inn. In the evening, while the other guests were still dancing, the man and the snake went to bed.

Around midnight, the snake turned into a beautiful woman, and the man "found this shape very enjoyable". She kept this shape ever since.
