A Serbian folktale about the zmaj, a dragon guardian who protects crops, forests, and village hearths from storm-dragons. When a young girl named Mila carries bread and salt to Mount Jastrebac, she discovers that protection does not always arrive with fire, but sometimes sounds like distant thunder.
