0 nce upon a time there was a Princess named Nyssmah. When she was born, she was a

very little baby. When she was a one-year old, she was a very Zith one-year old. When she was a

two-year old, she was a very little two-year old. And when she was a three-year old she found a

dragon’s egg.

Princess Nyssmah knew that she wasn’t allowed to bring anything into the castle without

checking first with the Royal Steward. The Royal Steward, thought Nyssmah, was in charge of

saying “No.” Which is why, when she brought the dragon’s egg into the castle, she did not check

first with the Royal Steward. He would have said “No.” Instead she put the dragon’s egg into her

closet. And, like all little girls, forgot all about it.

0 ur story begins with the sound of a dragon’s egg hatching. The sound attracted the Royal

Dog, which sniffed at the closet where Princess Nyssmah had stashed the dragon’s egg. The Royal

Dog attracted the Royal Housemaid who was sure there was Some Sort of Animal in the closet.

The Royal Housemaid was afraid of many things. But, more than anything else, she was afraid of

Some Sort of Animal in a Closet. She went to get the Royal Steward who went to get the Royal

Butler who went to get the Royal Exterminator (who is in charge of removing A.ll Sorts of Animals

from closets or from anywhere else.) The Royal Exterminator opened the closet door and found a

baby dragon.
