I apologize for the very bad English translation!!!

Blind Dragon

Once, a quiet night, the old sage has come in an unknown cave, to rest from a long and tiring journey. Old sage not knew, what is here inhabits a certain creature.
Wading into a huge cave, the sage noticed a dim glow of red color on relief of the walls. The old man went to the light. Finding himself in the vast space of the cave, the old man saw something similar on a pedestal, hewn from chunks of rocks. On top of the pedestal, burned brightly the gem of amazing beauty.
The old man approached the pedestal. Suddenly stirred cave. Swept the roar, disturbing consciousness. Out of the darkness appeared the outline of something huge. It seemed that moves the whole cave. Something huge, resembling rock, approached to the pedestal with the opposite side from the old man. The movement stopped. Before the sage was a huge creature - it was a dragon.
On old man watched the two huge, luminous, bright white eyes.
"Finally," eerie voice has sounded in the head of old man, "finally someone wandered into my lair. And even not someone, but the man himself." The dragon stretched his head and breathed the air. Old man heard a long, gurgling sound. Dragon opened mouth and began to loudly slurp, how some slurping in anticipation of a meal.
"Do you want eat me?" sage asked.
"Of course, people rarely come to me. I will not miss this opportunity." has sounded voice in the head of old man.
The sage decided not to speak, but he thought: "Do you read thoughts?"
"Yes." said dragon. "So you don't even think to escape." dragon move a left paw closer to the pedestal and move a little closer himself.
"I can't escape." sage said aloud. "You see, I am a very old man. I can't move fast, and, if I decide to run away, then most likely I will kill himself, stumbling and crashing against a stones."
Dragon was silent. "What is the old man?" suddenly he asked the sage.
"Oh, you're not familiar with old age?" the old man smiled. "We, the people, over time, turn into stones." he slyly looked at the dragon.
"How is it? Tell me, human." sounded insistent tone of voice in the mind of the sage.
"Look at me, if you look closely, then you will see a wrinkled face, gray beard, and bald head." said old man, pointed to his staff and added: "And this is my support, if I'll throw it, then finally hunched."
Dragon was silent, apparently, he waiting for the continuation.
"When human are young, he doesn't have all, what I have listed." continued sage. "But when our life comes to an end, then we gradually turning into the stone. Worse see, move slowly."
"Are so you now as a stone?" asked dragon.
"Not quite, I'm not so hard as a stone, but I think, what we are very similar on the taste." the old man raised his left hand and with power squeezed fist. Sound was not loud, but clearly was audible crunch knuckles. "This crunches my hand. I'm almost stone, almost stone." the old man significantly looked at the dragon, peering into glowing eyes of his, and asked: "Did you ever eat stones?"
"Yes. In my stomach accidentally hit the stones with the victims. Not the best food for me." dragon's eyes became a little gray. The old man seemed, that enormous lizard tries to remember something. But he had not heard the voice.
"My insides badly hurt after digestion stones" suddenly old man heard a bit muffled voice.The dragon snorted sourly. Blew away the old man's beard, which swayed in different directions and returned in the reverse position. The old man did not budge.
"And what am I going to do with you?" asked dragon.
"Let me go" said sage.
"You came into my lair to steal my power, and I should just let you go?" the voice increased in head of the old man.
"I came into this cave to rest from a long journey and at the same time to hide from the wild beasts. I can determine, when in the cave lives a wild beast, but here was not sign of life. But I decided to look around." lucidly explained the old man. "And what kind of power about which you mentioned?" dragon slightly moved in the direction of the gemstone. "This is my power." the dragon turned head on the glowing stone, but the eyes of the dragon looked somewhere past.
"I don't understand. Can you tell me what the power of this stone?" the sage looked at the gem. Gemstone was similar to the red diamond or red beryl. The bright light, coming from the stone, was not allowed to see it fully.
"I will tell you, but I'll have to kill you afterwards" the old man heard the answer.
"This is not necessary" sage started without hesitation. "Killing me - you will lose a lot. But if you leave me alive, you will be rewarded"
"What kind of reward do you mean?" the question was sounded with a note of interest. Eyes of the Dragon looked at the old man, but the sage seemed, that the gaze is directed past.
"I know those, who wish to gain wealth. I know the treasure hunters, which seek to derail a decent sum. I know adventurers, which seeking the wonders of the world. And i know just curious people." when the old man said it, he carefully lifted from the floor ordinary stone,
the size of a fist, and threw it as far as possible towards. The stone fell a few dozen steps from the old man. There was a loud crack. Echo swept through the cave. Sage watched the reaction of the dragon. The enormous lizard did not notice that the old man was took and threw the stone, but abruptly turned his head to where the stone fell. At this point the old man realized, that the lizard are blind. The old man specially started confused their thoughts, to the dragon did not know about the unraveling of his weakness.
"Who's with you!?" the dragon's voice sounded in the mind of the sage, stunning loudly.
"I'm here one" the old man said quietly. Dragon looked somewhere past of old man at few second. Apparently, trying something to hear.
"Well." said dragon."I will tell about the power of the stone and let you go. Let the greedy people come to my abode. But you must promise me, what are you will to tell everyone about the magic treasure in this cave. Set light to whimsy in their hearts."
"I promise." said the old man. The dragon put his head and closed his eyes. For a while nothing happened. Then, in head of the old man came the voice.
"This magical stone – is riddle to me. He gives me a lot of abilities, needed for me, to survive. Instead he takes other abilities, without which I can't far and long to leave the cave. The farther I moving away from the stone, then stronger I feel the approach of death. I tried to take the stone with myself, but some force was turned me back into the cave. Stone as if living and his refuge – this is cave. Perhaps, he too was once a man, but he soon died and turned to stone, as you told. Now you on itself feel one of its abilities. I can read minds and send them. Many people hit me in the mouth because of his curiosity, when they went on the voice from the cave." dragon opened his eyes and raised his head. "I can't explain much. Are you satisfied with the answer?
"Yes. Can I go?" asked old man.
"You can go"

A few days later the old man got to the nearest town. He told about the cave with treasures and magical stone everyone, who met him on the way to the city and inside the city. But every time he tried to warn people about the dragon and about what awaits them, unknown force compelled him to be silent. It lasted for a few years, while life has not left the old man. At the moment of death, the old man saw two white eyes, brightly burning in the dark. The old man heard a familiar voice: "I may be blind, but not stupid."
There was a bright red light. The old man saw a familiar cave. He couldn't move and couldn't speak. Only contemplate and think. The sage knew where he was. It was a pedestal in the cave of the dragon.
