2. After a storm at the Baltic sea you can find some amber in
the sand. Children collect these little yellow stones and
remember the story of Jūratė and Kastytis.

with his mother Motule.

23. Meanwhile, the old nanny
fish says to Kastytis, “The
gulls said your mother is
very sad. Stop dancing!”
Kastytis runs out of the
castle. “I’m going to the
land. Where’s Jūratė?”
“She’s singing to
Perkūnas”, says the nanny
fish. “Hurry up!” The fish
points to the shell with
seahorses. Kastytis jumps
into the shell and hurries
to the shore.
