The Legend of the Quarryman
4
At a time when Wislan's tribe lived on our land,
on the Rocky Mount, there was a fortified castle
whose owner was called the Quarryman. Only a few
farmers lived near the Vistula, most of the
people living there were fishers. A greater part
of the harvest people had to give to lord,
Quarryman. Fishermen had to start looking for
different ways to catch more fish.One day John,
the fishermans son, found an otter in his
basket. It could not get out so he helped it and
since then, out of gratitude for Johns family,
the otter caught them fish. Another time John,
with the help from his girlfriend, grabbed the
bird, which also caught fish for them.

At that time there was a habit that before a
wedding, the bride had to marry the Lord of the
manor for one day. The Quarryman treated girls
very badly. People who opposed his behaviour were
taken into a special dungeon on Machow Mount,
which was carved in a yellow, stinking rock. The
air there was like poison and it caused death of
people staying there. The Quarryman was known for
his atrocities against people working for him.
People hated him more and more.

One-day marriagies took place on the island of
the Vistula, where the fisherman had to take his
beloved.John loved Bozyslawa, but he was afraid
that the Quarryman would take her to himself, so
they got married in secret. When the Triglav
priests told the Quarryman about it, he threw the
young man to the dungeon.John would be dead in a
sulfur pit, if the otter and bird didn't help
him. The animals were bringing fish to their
master together with messages from people allied
against the power of the Quarryman.

Despite the food, the animals delivered John
pieces of rope. When John made a long line, a
bird took it to friends waiting nearby. They tied
the rope to a tree and pulled John out of the
dungeon. John and his friends plotted against the
cruel lord. They simulated a wedding. John as
bridegroom took Bozyslawa to the island of the
Vistula, where the Guarryman had already been
waiting. John killed him, got dressed in his
armour and went to the Rocky Mountain. The crew,
consisted of German bollards, took John for their
master and let him go through the gate of the
castle. John, pretending anger, locked the guards
in prison and set his friends free.

After conquering the castle John was announced
the commander. The fishermen started catching
fish using trained otters and birds. In a nearby
castle of Sandomierz lived the relatives of the
killed Quarryman. They decided to take revenge on
fishermen from the Rocky Mountain and the war
began. Soldiers from Sandomierz decided to
conquer their enemies with hunger. Fortunately,
otters and birds continued to bring food to their
masters. Unfortunately, many animals died during
the siege. When the famine looked into the eyes
of the fishermen, they built small boats
and, under cover of a burning castle, crossed the
Vistula River and ran away to the forest. The
castle on the Rocky Mountain did not leave a
trace. Only a yellow dungeon on Machow
Mountain survived to modern times and was
the beginning of a sulphur mine.
