Once upon a time there lived in the mountains a woman and her daughter.

The daughter liked to dress in red.

Hence her name, Little Red.

One day they were plowingand sowing in the fields.

All of a sudden, a galeblew up and in the sky there appeared an evil dragon who stretched down his claws, caught Little Red in a tight grip and flew off with her towards the west.

Her mother vaguelyheard daughter's words carried on the wind: Oh mother, oh mother, as dear as can be!

My brother, my brother will rescue me!

Wiping away her tears, her mother gazed into the sky and said, "But I only have a daughter.

Who can this brother be?

" She staggered home and had got halfwaythere when her white hair was caught up in the branches of a bayberry tree growing by the roadside.

While she was disentangling her hair, she spotteda red, red berry danglingfrom a twigsuch a dangerous task on him.

All she could do was weep to herself in secret.

One day a crow alighted on the eaves of her house and cried: Your sister's suffering out there, out there!

She's weeping in the evil dragon's laireyes watched her son march away.

Bayberry walked for miles and miles.

On a mountain road he saw ahead of him, blocking the way, a large rock.

It was pointedand rubbed smooth by all the travelers who had had to climb it.

One wrong step would mean a nasty fall.

Bayberry said, "This is my first obstacle!

If I don't remove it now, it will be the undoingof many more people.

" He thrust his stick under the rock and heaved with all his might.

There was a great "crack!

" and the stick broke in two.

Then he put both his hands under the rock and tried to shift it with all the strength.

The rock rolled down into the valley.

Just at that moment, a shining golden reed pipe appeared in the pit where the rock had been.

Bayberry picked it up and blew on it.

It gave out a resonantsound.

Suddenly, all the earthworms, frogs and lizardsby the roadside began to dance.

The quicker the tunethe faster the creatures danced.

As soon as the music stopped, they ceased dancing.

Bayberry had an idea: "Ah!

Now I can deal with the evil dragon.

" He strode away, the golden reed pipe in hand.

He climbed a huge rocky mountain and saw a ferocious-looking dragon coiled at the entrance to a cave.

Piles of human bones lay all around him.

He also saw a girl in red chiselingaway at the cave.

Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

The evil dragon whipped the girl on the back with his tail and shouted vilelyat her: Most ungrateful loathsomeMistress Red!

Since with me you would not wed,Day by day,Rock by rock,Hew me out a handsome cave, Or I'll send you to your grave!

Bayberry realized that the girl was none other than his sister.

He shouted: Wicked monster!

Evil fiend!

To tormentmy sister so!

Till your wretched life shall end On this pipe I'll blow and blow!

Bayberry began to blow on his golden reed pipe.

The music set the evil dragon dancing despite himself.

Little Red downed her chiseland emerged from the cave to watch.

Bayberry blew on the pipe.

The evil dragon continued to dance, squirming and writhingexhaustedagain in a hoarsevoice: Ho-ho-ho!

Brother you're the stronger!

Let me alone and I'll stay in this pondAnd torture folk no longer!

Bayberry replied: Wicked fiend!

This is my bargain: Stay at the bottom of this pond, And never do harm again.

The evil dragon kept nodding his head.

As soon as the golden reed pipe stopped blowing,he sank to the bottom of the pond.

Bayberry took hold of his sister's hand and walked happily away.

Not long after they set off, they heard the sound of water splashing in the pond.

They looked over their shoulders and saw the evil dragon emerge from the water pond.

He raised his head and flew in their direction, baring his fangsand clawing the air.

Little Red cried: Go deep when digging a well; Pull up the roots when hoeing a field.

While that dragon is still alive To kindlyways he'll never yield.

Bayberry rushed back to the pond and began to blow on his pipe once more.

The evil dragon fell back into the pond and began to dance again, squirming and writhing in the water.

Bayberry stood on the bank for seven days and nights, a fast tune blowing on his pipe.

Finally, the evil dragon could move no longer and floated on the surface of the water.

His days had come to an end.

Sister and brother joyfullyreturned home, dragging the body of the evil dragon along behind them.

When their mother saw her two children coming home, her face lit up with happiness.

They peeled the dragon's skin to make a house, took out the dragon's bones to serve as pillars and beams and cut off the dragon's horn to make plowshares.

With the dragon's horn they plowedthe fields quickly and had no need of oxen.

In this way they plowed many fields, sowed much grain and enjoyed a life of plenty.
