“The Legend of the Wawel Dragon” tells the famous Polish folktale about a dragon that terrorized the people living near Wawel Hill in Kraków. The dragon was fearsome and demanded sacrifices from the villagers. Many brave knights tried to defeat the dragon but failed. Eventually, a clever young man named Krakus tricks the dragon into eating a sheep stuffed with sulfur, which leads to the dragon’s demise. Krakus is celebrated as a hero, and the city of Kraków is named after him. This folktale is a beloved part of Polish culture and heritage, often told to children to teach lessons about bravery and cleverness.
