"After one starry, ice-cold winter's night, the church was frozen on the river." "There was nothing they could do, but wait until spring." "When the sun finally shone again and the ice began to melt, everything was ready forthem to drag the church, across to the other bank." "But that year so much water came down from the mountains, more than even the oldest in the village had ever seen before." "The river burst its banks, got wild," "and dragged the church away." "Nobody could stop it." "This is" "Romania;" "This is the Cris, which flows into the Tisa," "and the Tisa flows into the Danube." "Years and years went by, and everything was forgotten." "One day a stranger turned up in the village and said he'd seen a floating church on the river." "Since then the church started to turns up in the evenings, across the whole of the Danube."
