Stan Bolovan and the Terrified Dragons 🐉💰
Gather 'round, kids, for an exciting adventure from our children’s storytime podcast! 🎧✨ Today’s story is about Stan Bolovan, a clever man with a big family, who finds himself face-to-face with a fierce dragon—and ends up with more gold than he could ever imagine! 💛 What starts as a mission to provide for his hungry children quickly turns into a tale of bravery, quick thinking, and a little bit of trickery! Let’s dive into the fun details! 😄
A Deal with a Dragon 🐑🤝🐲
Stan Bolovan was a poor man with a houseful of children who were always hungry. 🍽️ He decided he had to do something, so he set out to find a way to feed his family. On his journey, he came across a shepherd who was losing his sheep to a greedy dragon. Stan made a deal with the shepherd—if he could scare the dragon away, he’d earn half of the shepherd’s flock. Stan might not have been the bravest, but he certainly was smart! 💡
When the dragon swooped down for more sheep, Stan boldly pretended to be a mighty hero. He told the dragon he feasted on rocks and flowers, and that he’d carve the dragon into pieces if it didn’t listen! This terrified the dragon so much that it offered Stan seven sacks of gold if he’d come home with it and leave the sheep alone. Little did the dragon know that Stan was shaking in his boots! 🥶👢
Dragons, Deceit, and a Clever Trick 🌙🔨
At the dragon’s lair, the dragon’s mother came up with a sneaky plan to get rid of Stan. That night, they tried to knock him out while he slept! But Stan was one step ahead—he stuffed pillows and blankets into his bed to make it look like he was sleeping and hid under the bed. He even let out a loud groan to make them think they’d succeeded. 😴🛏️
The next morning, Stan acted as if nothing had happened. He even joked that a flea must have bitten him, all while rubbing the “bump” on his head. The dragons were so scared that they quickly filled seven sacks with gold, hoping to get rid of Stan before he changed his mind! 💰💨
Stan Bolovan’s Golden Return ✨🏡
Just when it seemed like Stan might have to carry all that gold himself, he tricked the dragons into offering to carry the sacks for him! The dragon mother promised seven times seven sacks if Stan would leave right away, and the young dragon piled 49 sacks of gold onto his back! They journeyed back to Stan’s home, where Stan’s children—starving and excited—chased the dragon away with cries of, “We will eat dragon’s flesh!” 🍖👧👦
Terrified, the dragon fled as fast as it could, leaving all the gold behind. From that day on, no dragon ever dared to return. Stan and his big family lived happily, with plenty to eat and gold to spare. 🏡💛
