In a long-forgotten age, deep in the Scandinavian forests on the edge of Brunnsviken, lived a young girl. Her heart was filled with a curse of deep sorrow. In search of salvation, she roamed the woods day after day, but could find no relief. So one day she sat down by a forest lake, determined to put an end to her joyless existence. "Oh, if only there were something in my life that could drive this deep sorrow from my heart!" she sighed and took the first step into the water. The forest lake became restless and roared, and on its shore, three fir trees swayed violently in the wind. They were about to be uprooted when, from their mighty trunks, three stately bodies emerged, from their needles the finest hair the sun has ever shone on, and three magnificent cones dangled, it was a joy to behold. The girl was frightened at the sight of the three figures, but they called out to her: "Do not grieve, dear young lady. We have come to bring happiness to your heart with our songs." And they began to sing, and the girl's chest filled with a joy she had never known before, immeasurable like the morning dew on the meadows and in the forests. From that day on, she lived a life full of confidence and contentment, full of happiness and pleasure.
And in the forests, from time to time, one could still hear the echoes of this music that brightens the hearts of men.
This is the legend of Miss Ingrid of Stockholm, as it has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. Some claim that the three bringers of joy still roam the forests today, offering comfort and reassurance to the afflicted. Still others claim to have seen them on Facebook and Instagram.
