Wars and Sawa (another version)

A long, long time ago there was a tiny hut standing at the shores of the Vistula River. There lived Wars, fisherman, and his wife Sawa. 
One day in the forest was organized a hunt for prince Ziemomysl. He was an owner of estate.  But he lost in his vast forest. He wandered around for many night and days and finally he reached to a poor fisherman’s hut. Wars and Sawa made the stranger welcome and entertained a guest according the old Polish tradition of hospitality.  In the morning the grateful prince said: “You didn’t hesitate to take in a stranger and save him from hunger, cold and wild animals. Therefore this land will forever be called Warsaw , so your kidness can never forgotten.
