The legend of the fountain -part two

.
Many, many years ago, hundreds of years ago this place had few people leaving in. All this place that you can see around was the propriety of one man – a very rich man. Because it was high in the mountains he didn`t spend much time around here, he was mostly gone with businesses. But, his wife and children liked it. The people and nature were friendly. They lived in peace and harmony, no matter their social class. The kids from the village and the rich man`s kids were friends and always played together. He had two boys and a girl. The girl was sent to school at a certain time, but the boys remained to administrate the fortune and help their mother.
There was this woman from the village that helped them around the house. And she had a little girl, a dark hair child, just like you, called Ayla that used to play and study with the rich man`s kids. They used to play in that meadow you saw before coming into the village. Or, at least is there that most people have seen them.

The boys liked the girl very much, but none of them dared to share his feeling because of their father bitterness. The older one found a girl of his class married her and moved away in the city.

The youngest, Alen, and Ayla were about the same age, so they grew up together sharing the peacefulness of this place.
At one time there came a rumor in the village that the rich man sold his propriety to a stranger and that he only kept his house and that part of land. There was no real problem with that, but the rumor said that he also sold the people in the village. But, you know, no one owns no one. They may have worked for him, and get paid, but none of the villagers were under his ownership, as slaves. The Council of the village went to speak with the lady of the house, but she knew nothing about it. She promised them she will talk with her husband.

When he came from his trips – he came with another man and they put things together for a party with food and traditional drinks in the nature. His wife and son joined them and he asked Ayla and her mother to serve them. The girl was now a fine young lady about a high school student our days. Later at night he dismissed his wife and the older woman and asked the girl to serve and even dance or sing for them. The boy didn`t like that, but he didn`t have much to say in front of his father. He was also dismissed.
