VALDHER
Vrchnym
panom nad vsetkym
zverstvom aj drevstvom bratislavskych hôr bol Valdher.
Neslychany krutan a surovec. V Bratislave byvali tuhe zimy
zriedka, ale zato sa z casu na cas aj taka pritrafila. Ej, ved
sa len jedoval v tu zimu Valdher! Den co den nachadzal v hore
nove medzery po vypilenych stromoch. Strom mu bol viacej ako
clovek. Valdher dal príkaz, aby vsetci zamestnanci hor a lesov
nastupili vecer do sluzby - strazit horu. Kracaju oni a napred
nich, zachmureny ako boh hnevu - Valdher. Pan hory. Blizia sa
k Zeleznej studnicke. Z tmavej lesnej hustavy zaznievaju
zvonceky saní, brechot psov, ludsky smiech. Na saniach
prostovlasa spolocnost v lahkych kozuskoch a medzi nimi - kto
dobre vidi, ten ju aj spozná, vladkyna zimy, Biela pani
Lucia. Do Valdhera vstupila prenaramna zlost. Zhrmel vystrel.
Ktosi na saniach vykrikol a ktosi sa zaknisal a padal na
vystrete ruky. A strieborne kone sa vzopali a zarehtali a
znovu sa vychytili. A ked su uz celkom blizko, vykloni sa zo
sani Biela pani Lucia, pozrie okom mrazivym ako modra hviezda
a povie: "Valdher, ty zviera v ludskej kozi! V tu noc, ked sa
roky krizia, budes tadeto behavat vo svojej pravej podobe, az
kym ti niekto nepovie ... " Sane prebehli, posledne slova
pohltila dialka. Od toho dna sa Valdher zmenil na nepoznanie.
Je uznanlivy, mierny, nikomu nepovie zleho slova. Lenze chodi
zamysleny a v zraku mu cupi strach. V noci, ked sa stary rok
stretal s novym, odchadzal Valdher zakazdym z domu a vracal sa
az nadranom. Nik nevedel, kade v tu noc chodil a co robil. Len
sa teda medzi ludmi zacalo povravat, ze v poslednu noc roka
behava horou okolo Zeleznej studnicky liska s ludskou hlavou.
Zvierat si nevsima, ale ak zoci cloveka, hned sa k nemu prida.
Popri nom bezi a jednostaj mu do oci hladi, akoby o nieco
prosila. A ked uz pridu na kraj lesa, zaskuci, ako ked clovek
zavzlyka, a vrati sa. Do dnesneho dna jej este nik nepovedal
tie prave, nezname, vyslobodzujuce
slova.
Fairy tail Valdher
is one of many legends and fables about Bratislava and its places
from the book Bratislavske rozpravky written by Maria Durickova,
slovak famous writer of literature for children. The Valder story
is related to the place Zelezna studnicka. Valder was crueal and
hard-hearted landlord of Bratislava's forests. Even though winters
in Bratislava were not usually tough, one year it started very
early and poor people did not have a wood to make fire and warm
themselves. Therefore they went to the forest and cut down the
trees or just picked up the fallen wood. When Valdher saw that, he
became mad. One night he went to the forest in "Zelezna studnicka"
together with his workers, to protect the wood. In the forest he
met a silver sledge with the White lady Lucy and her suite. His
anger made him blind and he did not recognize who was in the
sledge. He shot from his gun and killed one from lady’s suite.
White lady Lucy cursed him and from that time Valdher every last
night of the year is leaving his home and returning only next day
morning. Nobody knows where he is going, but people say that every
last night of the year fox with human head is wandering in the
forest around "Zelezna studnicka".
