In a distant kingdom by the Tisza River, Princess Shoshana met a young fisherman, and their souls instantly recognized one another. A secret, forbidden love blossomed between them, as they met in the quiet nights, hiding from the watchful eyes of Shoshana's stepmother, Queen Palingenia. The queen, consumed by her own desire for the fisherman, grew furious when she discovered their love. In a jealous rage, she cursed them, turning the lovers into delicate insects, forever bound to live out their days in this humble form. Yet their love endured, even as they transformed, choosing to stay together rather than live apart. Every June, under the golden sunset, they rise from the waters of the Tisza to perform their beautiful, fleeting wedding dance. For three days, they embrace and twirl in the air, surrounded by their countless offspring, before disappearing back into the river's depths. Their love, undying and pure, defied the queen's cruelty and became an everlasting legend. As the winds whisper through the riverbanks, lovers still come to the Tisza, hoping for a blessing from the two souls who defied all odds. Their story, woven into the fabric of time, remains a testament to the power of love that transcends curses, forms, and lifetimes.
