Die schoene Lau

Blautopf is a lake situated in southern Germany. This place is linked to the legend of the "schoene Lau".
The schone Lau (literally meaning "the beautiful Lau") is a water nymph who is said to live in this lake. According to legend the Schöne Lau was banished to the Blautopf by her husband because she was always sad and could not laugh. She was doomed to live there until she laughed five times. Only then could she return and give birth to a living child. The Beautiful Lau makes friends with Frau Betha, the landlady of an inn nearby. The retailer good-natured and wise Betha finally helps the nymph to laugh five times.
