The story of Eglė the Queen of Serpents, from Lithuanian folklore, about a young woman who is faced with an impossible choice: witness the destruction of her family...or marry a snake.

The creature is a wet, inebriated chicken named skrat who will either make you rich or burn down your house or both of those things.
