On nous racontait autrefois que quand l’ogresse « Ţeriel » enlevait sa ceinture, alors tombaient tous les serpents, crapauds et lézards qu’elle gardait pour les manger plus tard… Une fois qu’on a raconté, à nous les enfants, il ne nous restaot plus qu’à nous blottir chez nos vieilles grand-mères, sinon c’est le cauchemar garanti.

We were told at that times that when the ogress "Ţeriel" removes her belt, then fell all the snakes, toads and lizards she kept to eat them later ... Once we were told those awful stories, we the children, we had only to sleep between the arms of our grandmothers to avoid the unavoidable nightmares.
