Ragnar the Friendly Viking Vol. 6
In this adventurous tale, Ragnar, a 13-year-old Viking living in Oslo, faces a daunting challenge when his family's crops are threatened by a mysterious blight. With the harvest season approaching, Ragnar must navigate through numerous obstacles to save his family's farm, all while learning the importance of charity and helping others.
In the bustling city of Oslo, young Ragnar helped his father farm the land. One sunny morning, they discovered something terrible: the crops were wilting. This was a disaster, as the harvest season was just around the corner. Without a successful harvest, many families would go hungry. Ragnar knew he had to find a solution quickly.
Ragnar's father sighed heavily. - We need to find out what's causing this blight, he said. - I'll go to the village and ask the elders for advice, Ragnar replied. With a determined look, Ragnar set off towards the village, hoping to find answers.
In the village, Ragnar spoke to the wise elder, Ingrid. - A mysterious blight on the crops? she pondered. - It could be the work of pests or a curse. You'll need to investigate further. Thanking her, Ragnar left with a heavy heart, realizing the problem was more complex than he thought.
Ragnar returned home only to find his little sister, Freya, crying. - The animals are sick too, she sobbed. The blight had spread beyond the crops. Ragnar felt overwhelmed but knew giving up was not an option. He decided to check the forest for clues.
As Ragnar ventured into the forest, he encountered a group of beavers. They seemed distressed and their dam was broken. - Our dam! We need help, one of the beavers squeaked. Ragnar realized the blight might be affecting the entire ecosystem. He helped the beavers fix their dam and continued his search.
Deeper into the forest, Ragnar met a traveling merchant. - The plants and animals are suffering, Ragnar explained. The merchant nodded. - I've heard of a magical herb that can cure blights. It's guarded by a fierce dragon. Ragnar's heart sank. A dragon? This was getting more dangerous.
Ragnar continued his journey and finally reached the dragon's cave. - Who dares disturb my slumber? the dragon roared. - I need the magical herb to save my village, Ragnar pleaded. The dragon considered his words. - Prove your worth by solving my riddle, it said.
Ragnar struggled with the dragon's riddle but couldn't find the answer. - Maybe I'm not worthy, he thought. He felt hopeless and considered giving up. But then he remembered the villagers' faces and their reliance on the harvest. He couldn't let them down.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in the cave. - Believe in yourself, young one, it said. It was the spirit of the forest. - The answer lies within you. Ragnar took a deep breath and thought carefully. Then, he answered the riddle correctly. The dragon smiled and handed him the magical herb.
With the magical herb in hand, Ragnar hurried back to the village. He brewed a potion and sprinkled it on the crops and animals. Miraculously, they began to recover. The villagers cheered and thanked Ragnar for his bravery. Ragnar learned that helping others was the greatest reward.
