+It is a well known North-Western folk song about a Pomorian goddess of summers' sunlight and warmth Lėta. Even in spite of christianization Pomorians still keep some of their old pagan traditions, especially elders. The ''Lėtadieni'' holiday is celebrated right before Saint John's Day (or ''Kupūlynia'' in Pomorian) on June 23, however according to Rudolf von Magdeburg it was celebrated at the end of May in the XVIth century. During the holiday people sang and danced in fields or forests near lakes or rivers and honoured Lėta goddess.

+==The sheep and the horses==
+The sheep and the horses(named also Schleicher's fable) is a small tale originally written in the Proto-Indo-European language. Other versions of the fable were created in different languages. This text is useful for comparison of variuos closely related languages or to indicate specific sound changes in their proto-language. Here are texts written in standard Pomorian, Polish, Old Prussian (to compare with a neighbouring Baltic language) and Common Slavic (Late Proto-Slavic after the separation of Old Novgorodian) for comparison.
+*'''In Pomorian:'''
+ Avi, ån katerė vilno ne bū, pavydėla bū kabenų: pirveši våzå tįgų vezė, ątereši - kruolį vėlių, treťeši - zmeny burzdė nesąťe. Avi kabenam åzrecė: "Širdi maja gule - vydėti zmeny kabeny jodąťo". Kabeny atrecę: "Kluoši, avie, širdy nosėjė gulią kada vydėma: vyre-pane vilną avim aurėzovušu es sebė nå tepją audągą, be avi vilno ne imsi". Tå įkluošėvau, avi iz luoko uztekla.
+*'''In Polish:'''
+ Owca, na której wełny nie było, uwiedziała konie: jeden wóz ciężki wiózł, drugi - ciężar wielki,  trzeci - człowieka szybko niosący. Owca koniom zawołała: Serce mi boli - widzieć człowieka konie poganiającego. Konie zawołały: "Słuchaj, owco, serca nasze bolą gdy widzemy: człowiek-pan wełnę owcom ścina sobie na ciepłą odzież, a owca wełny nie ma". To usłyszawszy, owca z pola uciekła.
+*'''In Common Slavic:'''
+ Ovьca na kъją vьlny ne bě, vъviděla bystъ konję, pьrvъjь vozъ tęžьkъ vęzě, vъtorъjь - tęžarъ velikъ, tretijь - čelvěka bystrě nesǫtjь. Ovьca konjemъ zarečě: "Sьrdьce mę bolitь viděti čelveka konję paženetjego". Konji rekošę: "Sluxaji, ovьce! Sьrdьca nasъ bolętь kogъda vidimъ: možъ-gospodь vьlnǫ ovьcamъ sъtinajetь sebě na teplǫ odědjǫ, a ovьca vьlny ne majetь." To vъslyšavъ, ovьca sъ polja vъtěkla.
+*'''In Old Prussian:'''
+ Kammistjan, na kawīdse wilnas ne bēi, pawidāi kamnītjan: pirmunis wāgens brendun wīlka, āntrašis - kraūlin debīkan, tīrtašis – zmānin dīwai prawedduns. Kammistjan kamnītjammans engērdau: “Sīran majs gulla – wīdatun zmūnin ast kamnītjans jāntin”. Kamnītjai engērdau: “Klausēis, kammistja, sirāi nūse gulla, kaddan wīdimai - zmōi-ljūdis, wilnan kammistjammans aupjaūnja sabbei na tappjans rukans, be kammistjan wilnas ne turri”. Stan enkirdīwai, kammistjan iz laūkas pabēga.
+*'''Translation:'''
+ A sheep that had no wool saw horses: the first one pulling a heavy wagon, the second - carrying a big load, the third - carrying a man quickly. The sheep said to the horses: "My heart pains me, seeing a man riding horses." The horses answered: "Listen, sheep, our hearts pain us when we see this: the man-master, cuts off the wool of the sheep for a warm garment for himself. And the sheep has no wool." Having heard this, the sheep fled from the field.
