THE JOINT STORY

Chapter 1
written by Spain

Once upon a time in the magic mountain of Montserrat, there was a dragon living in a   big cave. It was a good dragon but it was a sad one. The cave was dark and wet. At night, it was always so cold that the dragon could not even light its own fire. But one freezing night, the dragon could not bear it anymore and decided to leave and search for a better place to live.

The next day, our poor beast began its trip. After it walked a little bit, the dragon met a little girl called Elyon. She was a little girl,  an apprentice witch.

She was a very good girl and offered him an infusion made of medicinal herbs. The dragon drank it and it felt very good. They became very good friends and decided to continue the trip together. She wanted to travel and visit new places, too.

They were walking together, following small paths and crossing tiny streams. After a while, they found a big river. The river was wide and the water was too cold to swim in it. But not far away, there was a fisherman seating under a tree. He was sad. He was crying. Elyon and the dragon asked him why he was so sad and he answered that his boat was stacked. It crashed against some rocks and he could not move it because it was too heavy.

Tarongina and the dragon pushed the boat back to the open water and she made another medicinal herb to warm him up. The fisherman was very happy and offered to take them with him to the sea. Tarongina and the dragon felt very happy and agreed.

Tarongina, the dragon and the fisherman, followed the river till the Mediterranean sea.

The following day, the travellers stopped to have lunch. The fisherman made
a fireplace, the dragon went to catch some fish and Elyon came to the forest for some fresh fruit. She wanted to prepare some juice of the fruit for herself. 
She passed the forest and reached to an amazing meadow. Suddenly, the witch heard a strange noise. After a while, she realised that it was a calling of animal. Then, she saw a donkey in the high grass. It was very nervous. The girl asked the donkey why it was so loudly. The donkey answered that it had lost and its owner Hodja was probably looking for it but the donkey had forgotten the way backhome. Next, Elyon with her good heart decided to help the poor donkey. She only found some fruit for lunch and took the animal with herself.

The other friends were very astonished but they agreed to help the animal, too. The fisherman has known Hodja quite well. Hodja lived in a small village. He was an old, clever man. He had a great sense of humour.
After the lunch they all got on the boat and followed the river to Hodja’s village. Finally, they got to the place of their destination – Hodja’s house.

 Hodja was really happy when he saw the donkey. He thought that the beast had eaten it in the mountains. Although, Hodja was poor, he invited
the visitors for dinner. His wife made the meal and prepared the juice for
the little witch. The food was delicious and the old man told the guests some interesting stories. Elyon was very surprised how hospitable and nice these people were. She asked the dragon and the fisherman how to reward the old people. They established that she should use her magic and give the hosts something special. The girl was thinking carefully. Next, she went to collect some herbs and flowers. Then she prepared a magic drink and gave it to
the donkey. After a while, it occurred that the animal was able to spit the gold coins when Hodja touched its left ear. The old man and his wife became very rich. They thanked Elyon forsuch agenerousgift. The old people could live without any worries. The witch, the dragon and the fisherman were very happy that they helped them. Finally, the travellers got on the boat and sailed towards the Mediterranean Sea again.
