Common story Bulgarian Parts
Bulgarian students have written two ending of the common story.
Tha partners will choose the ending they lake and this will be official ending of the story!
VERSION 1
“Oh, no. The feather. The monster took it away” – cried out Aladdin.
“I know who can help you finding it” – the rescuer said. “Up there” – he pointed a huge mountain, “above the clouds there is a cave”. There is a gigantic dragon living there all together with his rider – Prince Duke Popiel. They are terrible creatures; some people even say they are the devil itself. No one has ever survived after meeting them. But they keep a pure, innocent creature in captivity in the cave – the mermaid. She has magical voice – it can make everyone fall asleep but it can happen only under the water. If you set her free, she will help you but to defeat the Waweski dragon you have to kill his rider and master - Popiel.“
Aladdin flew away. After some time he got into dark, rainy clouds and saw the cave. “That must be the place” – he said. He went inside and saw Popiel sleeping. Aladdin didn’t wait. He started nibbling his face and that woke him up. He jumped, caught him and broke his wing then he clapped twice his hands. The dragon appeared. Although the devastating pain, the eagle didn’t give up. He started nibbling him again. Then the dragon filled his mouth with fire and prepared to belch it upon Aladdin. But then suddenly the eagle moved away and the fire hit Popiel instead of him. The dragon burned his master down. Right after that he lost his powers. Aladdin released the mermaid and she was very thankful “what can I do for you?” she asked. The eagle told her about the feather. Right away she jumped in the water and the next thing he heard was a silent lullaby. He fell asleep.
“Wake up, wake up uncle Aladdin” – the little child said while tickling his nose with a little white feather. “It seems like you are having a nightmare.”
“Oh, I dreamed of being an eagle and I was trying to save you. I faced dragons, elves, mermaids and bears. But they don’t exist of course. But where is your father Terry?”
“He is preparing the dinner”.
“Great, I’m starving. What’s the meal today?”
“Mmm, it’s dragon meat.”
…”WHAT meat?!”
VERSION 2
While Aladdin was travelling through the wood, a shadow chased him incessantly.
That was the shadow of the thief, who knew everything: Aladdin was looking for a feather from a white swallow to save the snake’s still-born baby. The thief heard the spell, too.
‘Let your rest be infinite and your pains relieved!’
He was looking for the same magical feather because his wife suffered an incurable illness.
A snake lay upon her and from that day on she pined away.
Passing through theYakobracave where the Wawelski Dragon lived, the thief overheard the conversation between Aladdin and Terry Fying and understood that the culprit for his wife’s illness was the evil Terry Fying. The thief sat on a stone speechlessly nearby the Vistula river, thinking of all that he had seen and heard.
A beautiful river mermaid was watching him with curiosity. She started singing with a magical voice. Suddenly a strong wind began to blow, the branches of the trees swung away and a tiny swallow feather passed by the thief’s eyesight. At the same time Aladdin, who was flying round the wood saw the white feather and momentarily made a dash for it.
‘Why do you need that feather?’, inquired the eagle.
‘I need it to save my wife’, answered the thief.
‘I also need it to save Terry Fying’s child’.
Realizing the need of the feather’s magic power both of them decided to use its sorcery.
The thief told the eagle: ‘Go and fetch the snake and the child to the Wawelski dragon cave.
All got together, lay the white feather between the snake and the thief’s wife.
They pronounced the spell and oh, miracle happened!
Terry Fying’s child was brought back to life. The woman rose from her bed and kissed her husband.
In that moment the wood was flooded with light. The mermaid’s song was getting louder and louder. All got intoxicated with joy and lived happily ever after.
