N ow child&n), you have to fly for a moment. While you cannot fly in real life - it is Too

Complicated to explain why not - you can fly in a story. And if you want to see the Dragon again,

you must fly. Our Dragon, like all dragons, lives at the top of a tall mountain. So, grow your wings

and come fly for a short while. Let’s go see our Dragon.

Fly up into the air, across the land and over the small hills. Fly past the gigantic forest and over

some more hills. Here come the tall mountains and here we go! Up, up, up, and more up until we

get to the very top of the tallest mountain in the world. Right at the very top, there is a cave and in

that cave - Look closely, but don’t touch! - is our Dragon. He has grown up, too. Like Brophy,

the Dragon has grown up to be very, rely big. And very, very strong. Fortunately he has not grown

up to be very bad. However, he has grown up to be very unhappy.

The Dragon still missed Princess Nyssmah. No one gave him a puppy and no one was there to

love him, so he was all alone on top of the mountain. Once in a while, he would fly down into the

country looking for castles. When he found a castle, he would fly in, carry away whichever

Princess lived there and - no, he did not eat them - he would look at them very careful to see if

they were Princess Nyssmah. When they weren’t, and they never were, he would put them back

unharmed. Over and over he did this. And every time the princess he looked at was not the right

princess he would grow sadder and sadder.

So, look into the cave and see the biggest, strongest, yet saddest dragon in the whole world.

But quick! Let’s fly back to the castle! Hurry now! Fly as fast as you can! You don’t want to

miss what happens next!
