During the girl’s funeral, a black raven suddenly landed on the coffin, and within seconds, everyone was staring at the bird in horror
The priest had just begun speaking words of comfort when a black raven suddenly appeared. It silently landed right on the small coffin, its feathers shimmering in the sunlight, and its eyes glinting with an eerie light.
Everyone froze. Someone gasped, someone stepped back. People tried to shoo the raven away, threw stones at it, but then they suddenly realized this raven wasn’t just a bird, but…

At that moment, the girl’s mother lifted her head, looked at the raven, and recognition flashed across her face.
— It’s him… — she whispered. — That same raven. He used to come to our yard.
People turned around, surprised. The woman took a step forward and said loudly through her tears:

— Our daughter used to feed him. Almost every day. He would come to the balcony and wait for her to bring him bread. She said he was her friend. She even drew pictures of us — me, my husband… and him. The raven was always there in her drawings.
Remembering this, she pulled a folded drawing from her bag — she had kept it with her all this time. On the paper, drawn with a child’s hand, were three people: mother, father, and daughter — and next to them, a black bird with kind eyes.
They all had winged arms, as if they were one family.

— He came to say goodbye — said the mother in a calm voice. — He’s not just a raven. He remembered her.
Everyone stood in silence, unable to utter a word. Something about the story touched the deepest strings of everyone’s soul.
And the raven, as if he heard her words, bowed his head in respect. Then, after a long pause, he spread his wings and flew off, disappearing behind the trees.
