Once upon a time, long before we migrated here from the lands of our forefathers, there was a dragon which would slay our people, rip apart our herds, and kill our horses.

​

The people were shivering in fright, asking “is there a valiant alp who can save us from this monster?”

​

Our forefather cried out, “Yes, there is! There is!”

​

Of course, he wasn’t like you and me. He was much taller and larger.

​

He took his bow, arrows, spear and sword to set on the road.

​

He faced the dragon and said, “look at me, look at me, I would hit you so hard with this sword, the only part of you that would be left would be your ears.”
