Many years have passed since Arctos. Since then, a lot has happened. For a dragon life, only a short time. For the greenlanders, a long eternity. Nessaja once explained it to the little dragon. A dragon year is worth 700 greenland years. And that is very, very long. Not many of the old companions are left. Except Nessaja, of course. The white turtle still stands by him with advice and action. The day of which the story is, began with a bright sunrise. And he promised to become a particularly beautiful. It was Tabaluga's seventh birthday. And it was celebrated. All inhabitants of Greenland were invited. And of course, the gifts came first. Tabaluga's friends have come up with something. They give him chains of friendship and hang them around his neck. One made of diamonds. A pearl necklace is included. And one made of colorful marbles. A heavy one made of iron. A beautiful golden one. One made of the finest silver. And a lucky chain made of four-leaf clover. A mixed group of Greenlanders composed a song. And performed it enthusiastically.
