Story -The Princess and The Dragon

Once upon a time there was a king and a
queen. They lived in a golden castle with their
beautiful daughter. One night an ugly ogre locked
the princess in his tower. The king promised to give
a bag of gold to the knight who could rescue the
princess. All the knights in the lands rode to the
ogres tower. The ogre was so scary that they rode
away as fast as they could. The next day a friendly
dragon saw the princess in the tower. The dragon
blew the ogre into the ocean. The dragon put the
princess on his back and flew into the sky. Then, the
dragon took the princess back to the castle. The
king was so happy with the dragon. He gave the
dragon the bag of gold.
