THE WARRIOR GEORGE

Once upon a time in the county of Catalonia there was a dragon. The dragon was very strong and terrible. With his mouth it could blow and fire went out from there. The houses were destroyed and the animals died.  
Some people tried to fight against the dragon but they were all dead. The president decided that the two best warriors of the county had to play a tennis match and the winner had to fight the dragon. The winning warrior's name was George and fell in love with the earl's princess. 

On the 23th April we celebrate Saint George because George killed the dragon on that day. 

PRESIDENT: Who wants to fight the dragon? 
ALL THE PEOPLE: Not me, not us!!!
PRESIDENT: Ok, ok. Then I have to choose the warrior who has to fight the dragon. 
ALL THE PEOPLE: Why? WHY? 
PRESIDENT: Because nobody wants to fight the dragon.
ALL THE PEOPLE: How will you do it? 
PRESIDENT: No idea!
