<\/span><\/a><\/p>\nFor several weeks in a row, the old woman climbed onto the roof every single day and installed \u201csharp wooden stakes.\u201d There were more and more of them. The roof looked strange and even frightening. At first, people in the village just watched, then they began to whisper.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Have you seen her house?<\/p>\n
\u2014 I have. Ever since her husband died, it seems she\u2019s completely lost her mind\u2026<\/p>\n
The neighbors were sure of it: something was wrong with the woman. Her husband had died a year earlier, she was left alone, barely spoke to anyone. And now \u2014 this.<\/p>\n
The rumors grew with each passing day. Some said she was protecting herself from evil spirits. Others were convinced it was some kind of strange renovation. And the \u201cboldest\u201d even spread talk that the old woman had \u201cstarted a sect right in her own home.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 A normal person would never put something like that on their roof, \u2014 people whispered outside the store.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Everything is sharp, like a trap. It\u2019s scary even to look at.<\/p>\n
But few people knew how much effort she put into this work. She chose every stake herself. The wood \u2014 only dry. She sharpened them carefully, at the right angle. She installed them slowly, checking that everything was secure. She knew the roof by heart \u2014 where it was weak, where it needed reinforcement.<\/p>\n
Sometimes someone couldn\u2019t take it anymore and asked her directly:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Why are you doing this? Are you afraid of someone?<\/p>\n
