Synopsis

Once three soldiers decided to run away from the army as their pays were too little. They hid themselves in a cornfield. But the army didn’t leave the place for two days and the soldiers were starving. Then appeared a dragon. He promised to take them far away and gave them a whip, which, when you slash it, gives you a lot of money. But in return they should give him their souls in seven years, but if they guessed the riddles, he would propose them, they would be free. They agreed. Seven years they lived happily, took a ride in carriages, ate and drink. When seven years were nearly passed 2 soldiers became frightened, but one of them was calm. He thought he could guess the riddle. Whether they went to hell with the dragon or not you will know when you read the whole story.
