In the cave lived a dragon, deep in some of the galleries with the largest rooms of the cave. Nobody could get there. In the entrance gallery was a lake so deep that even the bottom could not be seen. Anyone who tried to cross the lake died. They drowned and died. No one saw the dragon, and it did no harm, but quite often from the field, a white cloud rose above the entrance to the cave, rising in a whirlwind, passing through the dense forest and disappearing. Some were saying that the dragon was hiding in this cloud and that he was going to go home.
Valko Goranski’s family lived in one of the modest country houses in the area. He had two boys, Petko and Goran and a girl Petra, who was very beautiful. One day Petra went to the field to work. At that moment, a white silver cloud rose from the cave, turned into a deafening globe, which then turned into a terrible whirlwind that moved like a huge monster and approached the fields on which Petra was. With this storm, the girl disappeared from the field. After all this, the shepherds began to speak in the village that they saw Petra up, near the cave, dressed in a beautiful dress standing in front of the dark entrance. People decided that she was enchanted by the dragon. Everyone said she lived with the dragon in the cave. The legend says that, before harvesting, the dragon took from the entire region the finest, cleanest, and largest grains of wheat and made pure white flour, and from the earliest, ripe grapes made a thick wine that could be carried even in a towel.
