Elizabeth was a beautiful

princess.

She lived in a castle and had expensive princess clothes.

She was going to marry a prince named Ronald.

A dragon smashed her castle， burned all her clothes with his fiery breath， and carried off Prince Ronald.

Elizabeth decided to chase the dragon and get Ronald back.

The only thing she could find that was not burnt was a paper bag.

So she put on the paper bag and followed the dragon.

Finally， Elizabeth came to the cave with a large door.

But the dragon said， “Well， a princess！ I love to eat princesses， but I have already eaten a whole

castle today. Come back

tomorrow.”

“Wait！” shouted Elizabeth. “Is it true that you are the smartest and fiercest dragon in the whole world？”

“Yes，” said the dragon.

“Is it true，” said Elizabeth， “that you can burn up ten forests with your fiery breath？”

“Oh， yes，” said the dragon， and he took a huge， deep breath and breathed out so much fire that he burnt up fifty forests.

And the dragon took another huge breath， but this time nothing came out.

Elizabeth said， “Dragon， is it true that you can fly around the world in just ten seconds？”

“Why， yes，” said the dragon， and flew all the way around the world in just ten seconds.

He was very tired when he got back， but Elizabeth shouted，“Fantastic， do it again！”

So the dragon flew around the whole world in just twenty seconds.

When he got back he was too tired to talk， and he lay down and went straight to sleep.

Elizabeth whispered， very softly， “Hey， dragon.”

The dragon didnt move at all.

She shouted as loud as she could， “Hey， dragon！”

The dragon was so tired he didnt even move.

Elizabeth opened the door to the cave.

There was Prince Ronald.

He looked at her and said， “Elizabeth， you are a mess！Come back when you are dressed like a real princess.”

“Ronald，” said Elizabeth， “you look like a real prince， but you are a bum.”

They didnt get married after all.
