  1. The story of St. George and the Dragon

  2. Once upon a time the people of a town lived in terror of a monstrous dragon. To calm its terrible anger they offered it their youngest daughters…

  3. … and the dragon sent back their skulls!

  4. Each time they drew lots to pick the next sacrifice, the King's daughter was excused. The people grew angry at this special treatment and demanded she take her turn. So, she chose a paper …

  5. It had a skull upon it !

  6. She was taken to the dragon in a carriage. On the way she met a brave young knight who had heard her sorrowful story. He promised to stay by her side and protect her,

  7. though she begged him to save his own life.

  8. When the dragon saw that the damsel had a defender it roared a roar of fire. But the knight's sword was sharp and his wits even sharper. He thrust his shield deep within the dragon's jaws,

  9. and with a slash of his sword, cut off its head !

  10. How joyfully the princess was carried home again and word spread quickly of the knights great deed, sending people scurrying into the streets...

  11. to celebrate !

  12. And what great rejoicing there was when the princess and St George got married. Pride of place at their wedding went to the head of the dragon, which was displayed

  13. on a platter !
