THE LEGEND ABOUT POLAND ORIGIN (ABOUT LECH, CZECH AND RUS)

Over thousand years ago three brothers: Lech, Czech and Rus were wandering in Middle European forests. One day they sank into the woods, because they wanted to find something to eat.
Than happened, what gave Poland its origin: Lech, Czech and Rus, tired and hungry, rested on the glade. Suddenly Lech saw the eagle's nest on the wide oak. When the brothers came to it, one of the eagle's nesting sat on the Lech's shoulder. He loved it so much, and the beautiful sunset, which just had a place, that he decided to stay there and estabilish the country, which crest should be White Eagle on the red sunset background. The second brother - Czech went into the South direction and estabilished Czech Republik. Rus went into the East direction and estabilished Russia.
