ABSTRACT
This year nature has brought many monsters into the world in diverse places. In the territory of Sinigallia, which is in the Picentino country, a cow gave birth to a dragon of marvellous proportions. Its head was larger than a calf's, and its neck as long as a man's arm, while its body was like a dog's, only longer. When the cow had given birth to it, she looked at it, and gave a loud bellow, and sought to run off. But the dragon tied its tail round the cow's legs, and put its mouth to its udders and sucked the milk. Then, leaving the cow, it made off into the woods.
