Long ago, there was a princess that lived in a tall tower.
A dragon kept her there. He was a blight on the land.
At night, her song came on the wind. The town wanted to help, but a lot of them had been killed by the dragon.
One day, a man came. He could fight. The town asked him to fight the dragon and set the princess free.
The man rode to the tower. The dragon was having a nap. The man went to cut off one of its heads. But then... 'Oi!'. It was the princess.
The dragon woke up. The man got a fright. It went up to the princess. She got on his back.
The princess and the dragon went up in the sky. It did not try to hurt her. It did what she told it to.
They came in to land. The dragon made sure to show off its smoke and jaws. The princess could see that the man felt bad. He had just heard the tall tales from the town.
He asked if he could do jobs to make it up to the princess. She said yes. There was a big pile of poop from the dragon at the foot of the tower. The man got a spade.
The man did not mind the job. It was fun to see the princess play with her dragon.
He stayed on to help the princess with odd jobs. The dragon came to like the man a lot.
Now the man, the princess and the dragon all live in the tower. They are glad to be far from the town and its tall tales.
