Once upon a time the Tartars aproched Krakow. However the night came and the gates were closed so they decided to sleep and next morning attack Krakow. When they slept near village Zwierzyniec, the vallagers tied them and in the morning entered Krakow dressed as Tartars. The townspeople were scared but soon realised that they are just the villagers.
