The Courageous King

There was a cave on a cliff above the sea with a massive dragon sleeping soundly, guarding his vast treasure. One day a tenacious slave tried to snag one of the creature’s precious gold goblets. The slave absentmindedly awoke the dragon’s deep sleep so the ravenous monster went from village to village dilapidating every house that stood in his path. The noble king, Beowulf, resolved to stop the fetid beast. Beowulf intrepidly brandished his sword and called to the monster. The colossal serpent roared and spewed fire out of his nostrils. Fighting the awful dragon, Beowulf’s sword broke and the dragon grabbed the stunned man by his neck. Instead of fleeing, a youngster climbed onto the dragon and stabbed him until he let go of Beowulf. The Youngster and Beowulf jabbed the dragon until he dropped dead. The towns were safe, but Beowulf was fatally wounded. Unfortunately, the courageous king knew death was imminent.
