The legend of The legend of KokoryKokory

• It is said that there used to be a castle on a hill in our village. The monarch who lived there had a daughter, who was very proud and conceited. According to a legend she had many suitors. She gave them some tasks which should have helped her to find the husband for her. One of the tasks was to throw the stone over the castle. When throwing, the two men killed each other. Now people say that two men changed into dogs and chase a black chicken (the woman) there.

We like living in Kokory!
