The story about his daughter.

- What are you, Mary - dissuaded her fellow villagers - to you and to cope with their difficult, often starving, and here a strange child.
- Nothing, - said Maria - where five of them at the table, there exists a sixth place.
She stole the girl to him. Years passed. Lisa grew docile and affectionate girl.
It does not cause much trouble the new mother never even hurt, apparently, guardian angel to protect her. There were, however, "helpful" people, the girl explained that she was not a native of this family, but only priёmysh. Upon learning this, Lisa did not upset. On the contrary, it is even more attached to their parents, and often embracing mother whispered:
- You're still my most real mommy!
Grown children and relatives live in different cities. I stay with their parents only fourteen Lisa. From child it turned into a beautiful girl with bright eyes, always relaxed and friendly.
Lisa took the work on the house itself and did it so easily and quickly, even the evil tongues, who continued to call it priёmyshem were forced to be silent, secretly jealous of Mary.
One day, Mary went to the river to rinse the clothes. It was early spring, the ice near the shore was still strong. Going to the nearest ice-hole, she put the bowl with linen, and had wanted to work. And then there was a terrible crash, the ice in the middle of the river reared, cracked, struck the water.
- The ice has gone, the ice gone! - The kids shouted and rushed to the shore. Look at the debacle came and adults. Forgetting about clothes, fascinated, he watched the terrible picture of Maria. And then the ice floe on which she was standing, looked up and slowly moved toward the middle of the river. Maria could even jump on the ground, but was confused, and the strip of water between it and the shore - was getting wider and wider. Seeing this, the woman screamed in horror. I started to panic: someone shouted on the boat, who is on a tightrope, and removed all the ice floe. Suddenly they saw running toward the shore Lisa. Without pausing, she just took off to a nearby ice floe and jumping from one to another, became closer to his mother. The mother, seeing her daughter, cried in despair:
- Lisa, come back! We both die!
But she did not listen, and within seconds found herself beside her mother, took her hand and said firmly:
- Calm down, Mama, God save us!
Lisa alert for ice floe on which they were standing, and when she ran into a large, sharply commanded:
 - Jump!
Both jumped safely. So, moving on the ice floes, they approached the shore. Lisa almost dragged his mother distraught with fear, and that it fully complies. When he reached the ground, the mother sobbing fell exhausted. Ran women took them home.
People long disagreed. All the girls admired Act, surprised her courage and love for the step-mother.
After this event, nobody in the village called Lisa priёmyshem, but only the youngest daughter of Petrov.
