The serpent did not appear every night, but as follows: three times a month or for a week, and all near the cave called the Serpent. When the Cossacks came from here under the Turks, they were followed by fish and birds, and every beast went. After the Cossacks came down, here, on the rocks, something was walking and mourning ...
