Three blacksmith’s apprentices wanted to remain friends and agreed to work in the same town, but business was slow and they had grown so poor they thought they would have to separate.

Song of Truth.
A dragon was ravaging the king’s land and he offered a reward to anyone who would kill the dragon.
Two brothers decided to set out on their own to find the dragon and kill it.

He found the brother at his house, who stayed to drink until he was brave enough to face the dragon.
