The Dragon Under the Hill

The Dragon Under the Hill is a book written by Alex Fonteyn, it's one of various versions of the Polish legend about the Wawel Dragon. The dragon terrorizes the kingdom, so Prince Krakus announces he's gonna reward anyone who kills him. Everyone failed. Then, a common shoemaker offered to do it. He stuffed a fake sheep with sulfur, leaving it next to the dragon's cave next day. The dragon instantly felt terrible heat in his stomach, so he started to drink water from the river. It made him swell up. He kept drinking until his belly was giant and round. He eventually exploded due to the overload.
