Reading Notes: The Story of the Wolf-Bride

A rich man was able to have a son and went to the akhund to get the boy's horoscope. The akhund told him, "your son is fated to be torn in pieces by a wolf." In order to prevent the horoscope, the father went home and built a chamber underground to put his son. He then brought the akhund in to teach the son.

Over time, the son learned how to read and write as he grew up. It came time for him to get married. The father's brother had a daughter and they were to marry. When they did, the families celebrated for a week. The families brought the girl to the son's underground chamber.

When the two were alone, the son put his arm around the girl's waist and she suddenly turned into a wolf and tore him to pieces. She turned into the same girl after she was done. She had no idea how it happened at sat alone until the next morning.

The akhund came to get her in the morning and ask how it happened? She girl said she didn't know. They buried the body together and said, "whatever is willed by fate, that verily comes to pass."
