Albanian fairy tale

Daughter of the Moon and the Sun.

Daughter of the Moon and the Sun.

Former mother, had a son. He only had it. He begged her. The boy was out hunting. The mother ordered:

- Son, son. Do not shoot all the mountains of the hunt, except in the mountain of The dragon . That Dragon is very bad son, to eat to swallow. Many brave people went there and did not return ...

The boy did not listen to the mother but listened to the girl of the heart.

She said:

- Brave, do not love me, do not hunt in any mountain, alone

on the mountain of The dragon to hunt!

The brave man loved the beautiful girl very much and never broke his word. So he got up and went hunting in the mountain of The dragon. As soon as he climbed up there, the earth began to shake, with all the stones and hardwoods. We came across a large cocoon with seven heads and seven horns, with eyes like lighted torches, with a mouth like a cave, with wings on the back like the wings of a night owl, but very large. It emitted yellow smoke and flames from its mouth. This flame burned the grass, the flowers, the bushes. Tried the tail three times and it became a big earthquake. The boy was not afraid: he put the arrow in the bow. The arrow went off, whistling but did nothing to the chair. He was stabbed, but the spear did nothing. He drew his sword, but the knight let out a loud thud that the sword fell out of his hand. Thus the brave man remained in front of the cross without arrows, without spear, without sword. The dragon laughed with all seven mouths, approached him, set him on fire and said:

- Now I'm going to eat you boy you stepped on my mountain. Have you not heard that he who tramples this mountain does not remain alive? Many other heroes have come here before you, and I have eaten them all. I will eat you too, get ready.

- My stubborn b***h, I see that you will eat me. You are really very strong. Please pray for one thing only: let me go home to ask my mother for the blessing of death. Then I will come back here to eat me.

- What will you give me if I let you go?

- I will give you my trust!

- All right, go get it.

The boy gave his oath of allegiance, went down the mountain, went straight home and said to his mother:

- Mother lady, I was caught in the middle of her mountain while I was shooting and now she will eat me. I promised her I would come back and she let me go. Now forgive the death wish that I will go eat. The mother let go of the horse: cried, bubutiu:

- Son, o son! Why did you have to go to the mountain of The dragon?

Why didn't you listen to me? Don’t go!

- No, mother, I will go because I gave my trust to the chair.

The brave man smiled bitterly and knelt down for his mother to give him the wish of death: he kissed her hand, she forgave him the wish, dressed in black, locked himself in the house ...

The boy went to the girl of his heart and said:

- Thank you my beautiful! I have come to say goodbye to you that I will go and never return. She will eat me because she caught me shooting on her mountain. The arrow did nothing to him, the spear did not touch him, the sword fell out of my hand when I was measured to shoot him. I promised him I would come back again to eat me. So stay happy my beautiful!

The girl put her lip to the gas.

- Are you sorry that The dragon will eat you?

- Not my beautiful. You have forgiven me so much joy with your beauty and with your smile that I go to death without any hindrance. Be happy and stay healthy, because I want to reach as soon as possible, my chair is waiting for me.

- Wait boy, I will come to the mountain with you ..

The frowning boy.

- Do not come, my beautiful, because there the stones and the trees shake: the cocoon is very bad, it eats you, it burns you, it swallows you.

- I do not come if you stay with me at night.

- I can not, my daughter, I have given my oath to the guardian and I can not violate it ... Better dead besieged.

- The beautiful laughed and said:

-I will come with you!

The girl rode a white horse, the brave man rode a black horse and was taken up the mountain of The dragon. The girl looked like she was wearing light. The boy looked at her and shivered. I said to myself: "How can a i***t eat this beauty? Ah, if I had three lives ... I would forgive all three idiots for leaving the girl to return home and live happily."

The beautiful girl noticed that he was thinking something and asked him:

- Are you crazy o brave?

He said what he thought:

- If I had had my beautiful, three lives, I would have forgiven all three of you so that you could be saved and return home and live happily.

She looked at him all gasp.

- Even without you?

- Even without me ...

- Do you love me so much?

- Many ...

Meanwhile the whole mountain roared, the stones and the trees shook. He came out with seven heads and took the song:

- Blessed am I blessed! I had one made me two! A young girl is coming to me. I will eat it and swallow it "

The white girl laughed and replied:

- Woe to you, my wretch! You had one and you have none. And you yourself will enter the bottom of the earth, because this mountain belongs to people and will belong to people.

The brave girl approached the chair. This sharpened his teeth and opened fire from his mouth. Yes with a look the girl gripped him in place. The dragon was frightened, tried to back down.

- Who are you, my white girl, who makes me shiver? What is this light to furfur in

face? What is this fire that is burning me like this?

- I am the daughter of the moon and the sun, I am the point of the heavens that fall everywhere, in the mountains and plains, above the heads of the wicked for the good of the good for the salvation of people.

- What do you have this brave white girl?

- I have the husband of lives.

"Maiden on the maidens of the earth," said The dragon, "come back happy." Inherit your youth with the chosen bravery. Because they were both trustworthy and beat me.

- What about you, you i***t, what do you do now? asked the daughter of the moon and the sun, holding in her hand an arrow of light: the point of the sky.

- Since you defeated me, I have no place in this world: I will enter the bottom of the earth and I will never leave.

And the crook disappeared and did not come out: perhaps it was burned, it was reduced to ashes, perhaps it was buried at the bottom of the earth.

They both - the white girl and the brave man of faith - shaved and inherited life after life. Even in the mountain of The dragon, hunters began to hunt as in all other mountains. There they began to hear the footsteps of the herdsmen and the ax of the woodcutters.
