Miorita

Mioria (English: The Little Ewe) is an old Moldavian pastoral ballad.
The setting is a simple one: three shepherds (a Moldavian, a Transylvanian and a Vrncean) meet while looking after their flocks. An apparently enchanted ewe belonging to the Moldavian tells its master that the other two are plotting to murder him and steal his goods.
The shepherd replies that, were this to happen, the ewe is to ask his killers to bury his body by the sheeps pen. She is to then tell the rest of his sheep that he had married a princess during a ceremony attended by the elements of nature, and marked by the falling of a star. However, there is no rite of passage metaphor with heavenly manifestations in the version of the story the ewe is to tell the shepherds mother: she is to hear only of her son having married a princess.
