Legend of Criuleni

Today, my students told me the legend of Cruileni. It doesn’t quite feel complete, but here is what I understood: There were two teenage lovers named Crio and Leana. Their parents forbid the two to be together, so Crio and Leana ran away to the Nistru River. One day, they were swimming in the Nistru River during a storm and they drowned. At this place, the town of Cruileni was started, and it was named after the two lovers.
