Pregame There once was a king whose kingdom was destroyed by a dragon. The dragon did not do what normal dragons would do like burn houses and stomp everything. He had a sense of humor! The king did not know what to do since all of his knights were hiding under their beds and his queen turned into a flower pot. He asked for help from the entire village, and only one family chose to help. Do you think strength, intelligence, or wisdom will defeat the dragon? Pick one and explain why.
