feeding the dragon

In deep holes with underground waters, live beasts with big snouts and tails. People call them dragons. They are described as flying creatures that fight against clouds during storms. They are related to both water and earth, and they can cause hailstones. It is also considered that they can live in wells. People used to give a sacrifice to them so they don’t act up. Most often people would pour whey into the hole or a well that dragon lived in. That custom is called “feeding the dragon.”
