Elya was Stanley's great - great -
grandfather. When he was a young boy, he loved Myra very much. She
was a farmer's girl. There was another man who loved her, too. He was called
Igor and was very old.
He promised her father to give him his fattest pig, if he was allowed
to marry Myra.
Elya knew that he has no chance, so he went to Madame
Zeroni an old gipsy woman. She gave him a little pig. She told him
to carry it onto a special mountain and let it drink from a
special stream and to sing a song every day. On the day when Myra should
decide whom to marry, he had to carry it on the mountain again, and
then he would be able to marry
her. And after he had married, he had to carry Madame Zeroni up
the hill and let her drink out of the stream and sing the song to
her. But on the last day Elya took a shower and so the two pigs
weighed the same.
Elya ran away and Myra decided to marry Igor. So Elya emigrated to
America.
