Zmaj obećava da neće spaliti dvorac.Змај обећава да неће спалити дворац.The dragon promises not to burn the castle.
Dva prijatelja beže kroz tajni prolaz.Два пријатеља беже кроз тајни пролаз.Two friends escape through a secret passage.
Na kraju se neprijatelji zajedno smeju.На крају се непријатељи заједно смеју.In the end the enemies laugh together.
