Dívka na Zem walked slowly towards Muž na měsíci, Muž was doing something with the sand, it was flowing from the moon to earth like rivers of water after a short while she saw him slow and retract his hands from what he was doing and he turned back to his hammock.

“Ah!” came the cryas he saw them, “Who? What?” Muž cried out pointing at Dívka then at the dragon “How did you?”

“Muž na měsíci I am Dívka na Zem” came Dívka’s reply “you have no need to be afraid” she whispered

“Dívka na Zem?” Muž said calming down “And, a. kámen?” pointing at the dragon,

“Kámen dragon, I have waited for this day for many a year” Dívka bowed to Muž knowing there was no need to bow,

“As have I, forgive me you startled me, I’ve been alone so long” Muž exclaimed, also bowing “And what in the name of gracious beauty is that?” the dragon looked up, thinking he’d noticed him only to see Dívka taking out the flute, so he lowered his head again while Dívka explained, then Dívka played a tune to Muž that she’d made herself,

“Let me see” Muž took the flute, sat on his hammock and turned it over in his hands,

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“Yes, the hammock…” Dívka started

“The hammock was made by the sandman for me, for somewhere to rest” Muž looked up at her smiling, still holding the flute in his hands

“The sandman, who brings dreams?”

“The very same, I let the world sleep and he gives them dreams, that’s what the sandman does, we’re very good friends” Dívka gazed at him with wonder. Muž then had an idea he summoned up grey sand from the floor and made a wind round the flute,

“Move the wind to the notes you play in your order” he told Dívka and she did, the flute started to play her tune, it echoed as there was nothing to stop it, Muž stood and reached out his hand, Dívka took it and they started to dance, Dívka’s dress waved through the sand, leaving a trail of splendour and beauty behind them. The dragon moved his tail in front of his eyes and peeking out he saw them move this-way and that-way flowing round in the emptiness of space, they span, turned, twisted around one another until Dívka fell onto the floor,

“Dívka!” Muž cried as she landed on the black sand, Dívka laughed and pulled Muž down into the sand with her, they rolled in the black sand until it was covering their clothes then they fell still and they leaned closer to one another, the dragon turned his head away, his tail following and gave a low growl of disapproval and sure enough they snogged.

Could have kept the kiss short thought dragon, as the minutes dragged by,
