Translated by Catherine Chidgey.
Anton (Anton Can Do Magic) says he can lift a stone "this big," so Luke hoists a boulder over his head. Anton carries three logs; Luke hefts "a whole piano" on his back and plays it--loudly. Competition escalates from noisy instruments to (cartoonish) exploding bombs; by the time they're slaying a dragon these frenemies look as if they're having a grand time.
