Long, long ago when the sun was decending into villaged as a handsome brave young man to dance at wedding parties of holidays, a dragon ambushed, kidnapped and jailed him. The whole world grieved: the birds forgot their songs in the dumb forest; the murmur of the springs, the young girl`s songs, the children`s laugh turned into a deep sorrow. Nobody dared to fight the terrible dragon.But there was a limit to patience. A brave man decided to go and set the sun free from the dragon`s prison.

Everybody saw him off: the poor sad compatriots, fathers, mothers, sisters, friends and brothers. All of them gave him their strenghto help him in his difficult task He walked a summer, then the whole autumn, and the whole frosty winter, till he found the castle of the terrible dragon. A dreadful fight for life and death started there. They hit each other mercilessly, shedding blood and sweat in the cristal snow.

Strong was the dragon, strong was the brave man. Full of wounds were their chests, arms and shoulders. At last it was the brave man who obtained victory. The cruel dragon was killed and fell down. Breaking down the black walls of the prison he set free the hansome sun. The sun sprung into the sky. The nature began to revive, people were glad…only the brave man did not last to see the spring. His warm blood dropped on the snow that began to thaw, and flowers were growing up from numbness. The snowdrops and daffodils gently rocked their patals, heralding the beginning of the spring. The last drop of strength and blood fell from the young man`s arm on the first of March.
