Цитаты из произведения Как приручить викинга

И даже теперь, когда я старый-престарый дракон, мне всё ещё иногда снится, что я снова сияю, как звезда, а сквозь глубокие воды моего сна всплывает огромная безысходная Пасть Мракодыхателя, чтобы проглотить меня… и Иккинг повторяет тихие слова: “… Я НЕ отдам его…” И он никогда не отдал.

And even now that I am an old, old dragon I still sometimes dream that I am shining like a star again, and through the deep waters of my sleep the great despairing Mouth of the Darkbreather comes swimming up to swallow me... and Hiccup says again the quiet words: "... I WILL NOT give him up...' And he never has.

How could I forget that glorious time long long ago in my childhood, when Snotlout and Dogsbreath the Duhbrain had to muck out the Dragon Toilets for THREE WHOLE WEEKS? I visited them every single day. Wasn't that kind of me?

And it was only I who heard Gobber mutter to himself during the cheering, 'Hiccup was right... EVERYBODY is frightened of SOMETHING... Perhaps that boy will be Chief of this Tribe one day after all...’

Where's it gone?' asked Fishlegs in terror. 'What did you say to it?' 'I told it,' said Hiccup, 'that if it wanted Toothless, it would have to swallow the boat.' 'What did you say that for?' shrieked Fishlegs. 'Because I don't think it can do it,' answered Hiccup. Curled up tight against his chest with my eyes closed, I…

I could see Hiccup thinking fast. My Master may not be as tough and muscly as the other Vikings but he's a lot smarter.

Give me the Star...' it rasped. 'I will leave you alone if you give me the Star...' I gave a yelp as I realized the Darkbreather was talking about ME. 'This isn't a star,' replied Hiccup, my Master. 'This is just a greedy little dragon who has eaten Glow-worms for lunch... he will no longer be light in the morning.'

You may not believe this, for if it hadn't happened to ME, I am not sure I would even believe it myself. All I can say is, the truth is often stranger than stories.

He was so cross he got to his feet and glared furiously at the Heavens. YOU ANSWER ME, THOR AND WODEN!' he shouted at the sky above, shaking his fist. 'It's so UNFAIR! Why do you always let the BAD GUYS win? Why do WE always end up in the Dragon Toilets? And HOW, oh HOW could this be worse?'
