Many years ago in a castle there was a prince. He loved hunting and his favorite hunting dog was called "Gelert". The prince had a wife, but she died when his son was born, and the prince promised to his wife to protect the baby. One day he was preparing yo go out hunting and when he called his dog he discovered that he was disappeared so he decided to go alone. He went to  his son's room and left him in the cradle and he went hunting. When hi came back home, he went in the baby's room and he found a lot of blood and the cradle was upside down and the dog came out behind the cradle and he was full of blood, so the prince thought that Gelert had killed his son and he decided to kill him. Later he heard the baby that was crying and when he saw behind the cradle he found the baby and a dead wolf. When he found the baby he understood that the dog saved his baby from the wolf. The legend says that the prince never smiled again and he decided to put the body of the dog outside the castle, near the river, and on the grave is written "BeddGelert".
