I want to present to Sant Jordi, the patron of Catalonia, Do you want to know the legend of him?
 |
Once upon a time in a far away country there was an evil dragon. The beast that was the ugliest thing man has ever seen could walk, swim and fly. |
 |
| The dragon killed and swallowed everything it came across, flocks of sheep, bulls and horses. And also men, women and children. As the villagers wanted to stop all the damage they decide to give the dragon two sheep everyday, and when they ran out of sheep, they gave it bulls horses and other animals. |
 |
But here was a day when they ran out of animals, and they decided that before the dragon killed everybody, everyday, in a raffle, they would give it a person to eat. One unlucky day the king’s daughter was chosen. The King was desperate and he didn’t want to give a princess to the dragon, but the people of the village demanded him to do as the other villagers. |
 |
Therefore they took the princess before the dragon But when the dragon open its nasty mouth toe at the princess, st Jordi appeared riding a white horse. |
 |
| Sant Jordi killed the dragon with his lance. |
 |
Sant Jordi gave one of them to the princess a love sign. Everybody was happy. Sant Jordi left the village with a smile in his face. |
