Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess in a great castle. Her name was Sunset.

One day an ugly dragon saw her in the garden, he caught her and flew away with her.

The princess had a friend, a prince, who loved her very much. He wanted to take her back to the castle. He went to a wizard and asked, "How can I bring Sunset home?"

The wizard answered, "You must follow the Way of Numbers and answer a question on each stone. Then the dragon loses its strength."

The prince stepped onto stone One.

"At first", said the wizard, "tell me the name of a vegetable!"

"One carrot", answered the prince and...

... stepped onto the stone Two.

"Tell me the names of two fruits!"

"Apple and orange. These are my favourite ones."

On the stone Three the wizard asked, "Can you name me three members of a family?"

"Father, mother and sister", said the prince.

"This is stone Four. Tell me the names of four flowers!"

"Rose, violet, tulip and lilac", said the prince and...

...stepped onto stone Five.

"List five sweet things!"

"Candies, cookies, chocolate, cakes and pudding are all sweet"

"Now", said the wizard, "you are halfway up. The dragon is weaker than before, but he is still too strong for you."

"Here, on stone Six you must list six items of cloths.

"These are trousers, socks, shoes, shirt, skirt and blouse."

"This is stone Seven. List seven English names!"

"Susan, Thomas, Bob, Andrew, Winona, Sarah, Mary," said the prince and...

... stepped onto stone Eight.

"Here you must tell me eight colours"

"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet are the colours of the rainbow, but black and white are colours, too."

On stone Nine the wizard asked, "Can you name me nine animals?"

"Rabbits, frogs, dogs, cats, mice, fish, elephants, horses and ladybirds are all animals", answered the prince and...

.... stepped onto stone Ten.

"This is your last step. Name ten objects that you can find in Sunset's room!"

She has got a bed, a chair and a mirror on the table. In the drawer she keeps her comb, a pen and papers. She has got a nice curtain in front of her window."

"Your last answer was correct, too. Now the dragon is weak, you can fight with him."

Then the prince fought with the dragon and won. He went home with beautiful Sunrise and at home they got married. And they lived happily ever after.
