This lovely and wistful Russian Toy, called Domovoi is missing its sweetheart Kikimora very much. It is affecting and amusing at the same moment and cannot leave you indifferent! But also it is thought to be responsible for all domestic prosperity and tranquility and finish chores when family members forget.
The Domovik usually lives in the attic, behind the stove, under the threshold. It can be heard laughing if good times are ahead, and if you hear him strumming, there is a wedding in the future. The Domovoi should be fed nightly or it may cause trouble.
To attract a domovoi, put on your finest clothing, go outside and say "Dedushka Dobrokhot (grandfather well-wisher), come live with us and tend the flocks."
