Having thought, the man decided to make a boat, weave nets and catch a whale. He swam into the ocean whale head out to meet him and caught in the net. The man said that he would release the whale if he allowed him to swim further and the guardian of the oceans agreed. The man swam on and came across icy mountains, over which a terrible dragon was flying. The dragon was very large and could spew flames. He didn't let anyone near the mountains. A man wandered among stones in the dark and decided to climb the dragon. Then the man waited for the night when it was possible to sneak up on the dragon.
