#FolktaleMoment of the day:

Exploding pears

I read a Hungarian Roma folktale today that featured an evil dragon woman trying to kill a man by cursing him with hunger, and planting an enticing pear tree in his way. 

Luckily a girl knocked the pear out of the man's hand. The pear screamed so loud it made trees snap. Had he eaten it, she says, he would have exploded from the sound.

#DnD writers take note 😂

 Thb this entire folktale is pretty wild. It begins with a young wizard falling into a wolf trap. Sometime later a dragon, carrying a kidnapped princess, also stumbles into the pit. The wizard pulls his knife, dragon falls on it and dies, princess is thus rescued. The dragon's mother, however, swears revenge. Cue the exploding pears.
