Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a beautiful kingdom ruled by a wise and just king.
The kingdom was full of lush forests, sparkling rivers, and snow-capped mountains, and the people who lived there were happy and content.
One day, a fierce dragon descended upon the kingdom, breathing fire and causing destruction wherever it went.
The king called upon his bravest knights to slay the dragon, but they were no match for its fiery breath and razor-sharp claws.
Desperate for a solution, the king consulted with the wise old wizard who lived in a tower atop a distant mountain.
The wizard listened carefully to the king's troubles and then told him of a young peasant boy who could save the kingdom.
The boy lived in a tiny village on the edge of the kingdom and had never left his village before.
But the wizard saw in him a strength and bravery that no one else could see.
So the king sent his messengers to the village to find the boy and bring him to the castle.
The boy was terrified at first, but the king and his advisors assured him that he was the only one who could save the kingdom.
With a brave heart and a determined spirit, the young boy set out to slay the dragon.
He climbed the mountains, crossed the rivers, and finally arrived at the dragon's lair.
The dragon was sleeping when the boy arrived, so he crept up to it and plunged his sword into its heart.
