Lithuanian legend

The name Jūratė (Yourate) comes from the
 Lithuanian jūra (youra). It means the sea.
After a storm at the Baltic sea you can find some amber in
the sand. Children collect these little yellow stones and
remember the story of Jūratė and Kastytis.
Long long ago a young fisherman Kastytis lived together
with his mother Motule.

   Meanwhile, the old nanny
    fish says to Kastytis, “The
    gulls said your mother is
    very sad. Stop dancing!”
    Kastytis runs out of the
    castle. “I’m going to the
    land. Where’s Jūratė?”

   “She’s singing to
    Perkūnas”, says the nanny
    fish. “Hurry up!” The fish
    points to the shell with
    seahorses. Kastytis jumps
    into the shell and hurries
    to the shore.
