According to local legend, a three-headed dragon lived on a hill in the village of Drachowo, in times that the oldest inhabitants do not remember. This monster inspired fear and terror among the local population, kidnapping people and cattle from the surrounding hamlets. Finally, the dragon was dealt with by a local beekeeper. In the evening, he placed three vodka jugs with honey-infused vodka in front of the dragon's den. He also threw in some lamb meat, then lit a fire and waited to see what would happen. The monster crawled out as soon as it got dark. First, he had a snack. The beekeeper appeared against the glow of the fire and drank a sip of vodka to the dragon. The dragon took a sip from the jug and howled quietly with satisfaction, and after the feast fell down exhausted. The next day, the dragon did not have the strength to attack cattle and people. Thanks to the help of the villagers, the beekeeper served the monster a daily alcoholic supper. Unfortunately, the excess of sweet drink finished off the dragon, which refused to eat, hiding in its lair.
