In those ancient times, a man would return to his village at night. As he approaches, something like a wedding can be heard more and more. People are playing loud music, wedding guests, everything is beautiful, everyone is happy, eating, drinking. They invite him to dance with them for a bit. And they started to toast with rakija drink, they offered him too, they gave him to drink rakija from a glass. And he went to drink, but before making a toast, he crossed himself according to the Serbian custom, and as he crossed himself, everything suddenly became clear. The devils took him to the top of a tree, a poplar, and instead of a glass of rakija, he was holding a horn, and there was blood inside. If he hadn’t crossed himself, he probably would have drunk it, passed out, and fallen from the tree to his death.
