520			_a"Ennustus : Yksinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä by Kaarle Halme" is a one-act comedic play written in the early 20th century. Set in a rural farmhouse, it playfully explores matchmaking, pride, and romantic competition when several suitors converge on a widowed mistress, and a cheeky “prophecy” turns a household mishap into fate. The play unfolds in Kontusalo’s main room on a summer day. Ruura, the vain but kind widow, prepares to receive suitors; the slow, witty farmhand Josua pines for her while the lively maid Aili teases him. Neighbor Eenokki, a dithering suitor, arrives first; soon come the brisk Ville Virkki and a jovial matchmaker, with Ville quickly flirting with Aili instead of Ruura. A comic motif — a washtub Josua built too large to fit through the door — lets the matchmaker “foretell” that its maker will never need to leave the house. After Ville effectively chooses Aili and Eenokki loses his nerve, Ruura feels humiliated, only to be comforted by Josua, who declares his steady devotion. She accepts him, the “prophecy” is fulfilled, and the pair seal their engagement amid lighthearted congratulations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
