Plot summary
Fanyüvő grows up listening to old tales of the Forefather, whose kingdom was seized by humanoid dragons, creatures the Forefather's three wicked daughters-in-law set loose. The White Mare's milk gives the boy superhuman strength, and after the horse dies he goes in search of the dragons, joined by his two equally powerful brothers, Kőmorzsoló and Vasgyúró. They look for the entrance to the Underworld, the dragons' home, and take shelter in a hollow tree while they hunt for it. Each day two of them go out searching, and the third stays behind to cook porridge and twist rope. Hétszűnyű Kapanyányi Monyók, a mischief-making gnome, keeps asking for a share of their porridge.
