They came home and the elder sister said:

«That’s a bad cushion! I don’t want to sleep on it anymore. Sleep yourself on this bewitched cushion!»

She threw it to Alena. The younger sister agreed and asked:

«What shall I ask the cushion for to see in this night’s dream?»

Clara took offence at the cushion, but decided to make fun of her sister:

«It’s time we got married, but we have no dowry at all! We have no smart clothes or jewelry. Ask your cushion for luxurious outfits and beautiful jewelry.»

«Right, sister,» Alena replied.

Before going to sleep she sat down near the cushion and thought:

«It would be nice if we could have a new dress each and girls’ trinketry. Not much – just a little bit.»

Thinking so, she fell asleep. In her dream she saw Clara and herself walking in smart dresses. The earrings in their ears were glistening, and pearl necklaces on their necks were sparkling. Alena woke up and told her sister:

«Sister, in my dream I saw that we will have new dresses made of brocade, turquoise earrings and pearl necklaces.»
