His brother was jealous He put her in an underground tunnel. A witch protected the tunnel, but one day she left her dog. The dog was very noise. When a brother from Mirów visited his lady, a dog began to bark. Then, brother from Bobolice heard the dog, and he saw his brother with the lady, and he killed his brother.
