About this audiobook
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.

Andrew Lang
Andrew Lang (March, 31, 1844 – July 20, 1912) was a Scottish writer and literary critic who is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang’s academic interests extended beyond the literary and he was a noted contributor to the fields of anthropology, folklore, psychical research, history, and classic scholarship, as well as the inspiration for the University of St. Andrew’s Andrew Lang Lectures. A prolific author, Lang published more than 100 works during his career, including twelve fairy books, in which he compiled folk and fairy tales from around the world. Lang’s Lilac Fairy and Red Fairy books are credited with influencing J. R. R. Tolkien, who commented on the importance of fairy stories in the modern world in his 1939 Andrew Lang Lecture “On Fairy-Stories.”
