Once upon a time there was a knight (骑士). His name was George. One day he came to a small village. He met a man who lived in a cave in the village.

The man told the knight about the terrible things in the village. A terrible dragon had come to live in the lake. He attacked (袭击) the village every day. The villagers didn’t know what to do. First, they gave the dragon all their food, but the dragon just took the food and still attacked the village. So then the villagers gave the dragon all the animals from their farms. The dragon took all the animals, but continued to attack them. So then they gave the dragon all their gold and jewels (宝石). The dragon took all, but still was not satisfied. 

Later, the king sent his army to try and catch the dragon, but the dragon was too strong andthe knights of the army were too scared and they ran away. With nothing left to give, the king could only think of one thing to help protect his people. He sent his only daughter, the princess (公主), to the lake to wait for the dragon.

When George heard this he rode as fast as he could to the lake. Just then the dragon jumped out from the lake and was going to eat the princess. George attacked the dragon. He won the fight and killed the dragon. George and the princess returned to the village and everyone was very pleased that they would have no more problems with the dragon.
