A legend of the Waterfall of Love

A legend of the Waterfall of Love tells that there was one Rachvelian man who had five single daughters. He was worried about their future very much. One night, he had a dream about the waterfall and a sheep standing close to it. In Georgia, people believe that, if you see a sheep in your dreams, it means that God wants to tell you something. That is why the sheep is associated with God. It seemed to him that God gave him a sign. He had to go to the place from his dream to blow his worries away. The next day, he took his daughters to this place and together with the wine. 

They saw that the waterfall had a lovely shape of the heart. All of them were having fun under the waterfall, and their father was inviting everyone, who was passing through this place, to drink the wine with him. This man and his daughters spent the day very joyfully and, by the evening, they returned home. After this day, in the same year, his dream came true, and all of his daughters got happily married. That is why the waterfall was named the Waterfall of Love.
