Dragons? Do you mean those huge, armoured, fire-spouting ones? Or such multicolored ones, fluttering from one flower to the other? Or probably those usual, bearded ones – used for carrying heavy weights? No, they are such scaly ones, resembling large orthograde lizards. They live quite close to us. Maybe right behind this wall. Wrong guess! They inhabit some other planet! They swim in the rivers of red-hot metal. Wrong again! They are indistinguishable from people. Well, almost indistinguishable… Sure. They even surf the Internet and have their own blogs, and at the weekends they earth up their radish-beds… Are you kidding? What for does a genius of finances need any radish? Excuse me, could you tell, how can one become a dragon? The author of each short story, included into this collection, has his own opinion on what a dragon looks like, what sort of creature it is , where it lives, what it does every day, what are its relations with people.
