The lizards are busking.
– Why are they lying in the sun? asks Frail.
– They like heat, but the sun beams are very important for me, answers Percius.
– What for?
– To light magic candles and warm up magic potions.
– Love candles too?
– No, only dragons can light them.
– Do you feed the lizards?
– Yes, I do. I catch for them magic flies from the swamps.
– Why magic?
– Because when a lizard eats such fly it doesn’t need to eat for a month.
– Oh, that is interesting. How do you catch the flies?
– I buy them from swamp spiders at the swamp market.
– Oh, really? Is there such market?
– Yes, laughs Percius. You can buy many strange things there.
– For money?
– No, you trade them for something else.
– What do you exchange the flies for?
– For elixirs for strong webs.
– Wow, everything is connected.
– Yes, It is. Let’s go to the frogs, suggests Percius.
– Ok, agrees Frail.
– Hi frogs! says Percius.
– Croak, croak, croak, croak, answer the frogs.
– What do they do for you?
– They croak spells which no pig can pronounce.
– Are there such? wonders Frail.
– There are thousands of spells.
– Do you want to hear one?
– Of course, please!
Percius croaks and gives the frogs two fat flies to eat.
– Croak, say the frogs and a rainbow appears in the sky.
– For you, says Percius, a gift.
Frail blushes.
– Oh thank you, she says.
– Come on to my chests. I will introduce you to my centipedes.
Frail wonders when she sees the centipedes cleaning big eyes in the chests.
– Now you know what they do for me, says Persius.
– I am scared of those eyes. What are they?
– They are magic eyes which watch my chests. There are a lot of precious things in the chests.
– Where did you get these eyes from?
– It is a sad story. A bad wizard killed a Unicorn. I tried to save him, but I failed. To thank me the Unicorn gave me his eyes before he died.
– Wow, it is terrible! shouts Frail.
– That is life, says Percius.
Percius sees that Frail is sad, so he says:
– Let me tell you, what I keep in my chests. There are magic teeth.
– Whose are they?
– This is the tooth of the Unicorn.
– That one who died?
– Yes, That one. But normally a wizard must find Unicorn’s teeth. It is very difficult because they lose them once in a life time.
– Whose are these teeth? asks Frail and shows some other teeth.
– They are the teeth of my dragons.
– So you don’t need to look for them, laughs Frail.
– That’s right, admits Percius. Guess whose are these teeth, he continues.
– They are very small. Are they lizards’ teeth?
– No, they aren’t. They are spiders’ teeth.
– Wow, where do you take them from?
– I buy them at the swamp market.
– And you pay with the potion for strong webs?
– Exactly, you have got a big brain.
– Thank you, says Frail. But what are these teeth for?
– Spiders’ teeth change into small spiders which protect me in the fights. After the fight they disappear.
– How do they change into spiders?
– You need to know a special spell.
– Aaa, I understand. Do Unicorn’s teeth need a spell too?
– Yes, sure.
– What do Unicorn’s teeth change into?
– They change into a Unicorn wand. Only with a Unicorn wand you can do some magic.
– And what about dragons’ teeth?
– When you haven’t got a King Dragon which breathes dragon’s fire, you can throw such tooth into the fire and the fire changes into dragon’s fire.
– Wow, that’s fantastic! exclaims Frail.
