A puppet picture from the series about Krakonos, the Spirit of Mountains. It tells a story about a poor widow named Dontovka who always knew what to do, even when Spirit of Mountains punished her by conjuring up a beard on her. Dontovka used the beard to weave linen and to make brushes. So Spirit of Mountains conjured the beard away but Dontovka made him help her find her a new husband. Spirit of Mountains fulfilled her wish and she finds her happiness. A bearded one.
