'Once upon the time, fairies decided to cut the island of Dugi otok in half. They worked hard and chiped every stone all night long, but just when they were about to finish, the dawn prevented their plans. The island of Dugi otok stayed safe, and the cave Strašna Peć reamined a recollection on that unavailing attempt.'
