Once upon a time, there was a kingdom terrified by a dragon. The dragon would regularly kidnap children, and they were never seen again, probably eaten by the dragon. The king had tried everything on his hand to stop him, to no avail. Knights had gone to fight him, wizards had cast spells, but the dragon seemed immune to all of it. Children were kept inside the houses, and went accompanied everywhere, but, still, from time to time, the dragon managed to take one to his cave. And one day, the kidnaped child was the daughter of the king. The little princess had been playing outside in the inner walls, after she escaped her wet nurse, and when the dragon loomed over them the guards were not close enough to help her. When the king found out, he summoned all the knights and soldiers in the kingdom to try to save his daughter.
An army marched towards the dragon's cave, blowing their trumpets and firing the cannons. Inside the cave the dragon was trembling as the little princess comforted him.
-Don't worry dragon, it's going to be okay.
The princess had been really scared when she saw the floor getting away from her feet, and she felt the warm breath of the dragon on her skin. But as they arrived into his cave it was clear that he was only looking for someone to play with, he felt alone. The dragon was like a big cat. A big cat who didn't know how powerful he was and had ended up accidentally killing all his friends, but a cat nonetheless. The princess felt pity for him. When she heard all the noise outside the cave, she decided to do something about it. She ran outside waving her hands, one of the knights took her in front of her father, ignoring her explanations on how the dragon was actually good, and he was only lonely and scared. She shouted and fought, but she was only a little girl, and there was nothing she could do when she heard the dragon's screams as the soldiers entered inside the cave and killed him.
