"Once upon a time, so far away and at other time, there led peaceful live a dragon.
He was great, frightening beast. All villages around was feared about he. The dragon breathed fire from his muzzle and his claws was sharp as a razors. Wings such massive, that he could with only it's move sweep away houses.
The dragon liked to fly over villages. He knows, that people are feared. And he liked it. Because as everybody around was fearful, nobody dared to attack him nor just came to him.
One day the dragon flied too far away and flew to capital city of some country. With curiosity he was flying around great, beautiful palace, where usually lived king with queen, princesses and princes. And when he was flying next to a tower, he saw a window, with which he was able to look into chamber. Interested, he stuck his claws between stone blocks and with one, black-gold eye the dragon looked. The chamber in tower was beautiful, decorated, with large bed, with big mirror in beautiful frame, with wardrobes from the best wood, made by the best of carpenters. But the dragon wasn't interested in it, because what could dragon know about beds, mirrors and wardrobes? The only one thing, what made him feel curious, was a person sitting on the chair. It was beautiful princess, the only one king's daughter. She was combing her beautiful, gold curls and the dragon could only look onto these hairs, such hypnotizing.
And then the princess saw the dragon's reflection in mirror. Scared, she started to scream.
The dragon was sad. It was first time he regretted, that he makes people feel scared. The more he made fearful the beautiful princess, that charmed him. Before guards came to the chamber, the dragon pushed his paw through the window and grab her such slowly and carefully, to make sure he won't hurt her. And he stretched her out. And she was screaming. Because she was afraid, that the dragon decides to eat princess as a snack. With the companion of threw spears the dragon left the country, coming back to his cave in the mountain.
As he was there, he placed princess on the ground. She wasn't screaming now. She lost her energy and now she was waiting with closed eyes, sure of her death. Because what could do little princess against great, powerful dragon?
But he didn't eat her. The dragon entertained her. And she trusted him. The dragon let her play with his tail, hide under his wings, climbing on his back. He hold her close, because dragons like to have the most precious to them things close. And she, with companion of the dragon, forgot, how does the princess live looks like. Now she was spending her time on amusement.
But the king wanted his daughter back.
He sent news that he'll give half of treasury and princess' hand to the one, brave daredevil, that will save his kidnapped daughter. But everyone was scared of the dragon, because he burned many of cities, many of villages, when somebody dared to attack him.
But one day there came a knight on strong, white steed, with shining armor and big, two-handed sword.
And the brave knight was fighting with the powerful, frightening dragon."
"Did the dragon win?"
"No" said the old man slowly and sadly. "The dragon lost and the knight took the princess back to the palace. And they had beautiful wedding, about which people was talking many, many years."
"Why? The dragon loved the princess!"
"Because people likes to hear fables about beautiful princesses and brave knights. In their love stories there is no place for dragon."
