The Princess and the Dragon

Once upon a time, a beautiful princess who lived in a castle. However, she was spoiled and bossy. One day, a fierce dragon came and attacked her castle. The dragon kidnapped the princess and took her away to his cave. Her father, the king, called upon three knights to rescue her, Sir Arnold, Sir Smart and Sir Tim. He told the knights to go to the dragon’s cavern and save the princess.

You complete the story (minimum 180 words)...

The king said that the prize for who save his daughter would be marry with the princess. In addition, the winner would get a reward of one million dollars. Then, they made a draw to decide who would try to save the princess first. Sir Smart won.

Sir Smart arrives in the dragon’s cavern and he thought he could convince the dragon just using his intelligence. He offered to the dragon the half of the prize, or half million dollars. However, the princess heard the conversation and dismissed Sir Smart because she wanted to marry with a rich man.

The second who tried was Sir Tim. He thought he could outsmart Sir Smart and he offered to the dragon half of the company's profits (he dreamed of having a company called Tim Horton’s). However, the princess heard the conversation again. She refused the second knight because he was not romantic and did not think to win her heart.

The third knight who tried was Sir Arnold. As he worked for the US government, he offered a job to the dragon in politics. Then he tried to convince the princess that he had well defined muscles and he would protect her. The dragon was very interested, but the princess said no because she discovered that Sir Arnold already was porn actor and has used drugs. End of trading.

The king knew that her daughter was spoiled and bossy. Then, he offered two million dollars to the dragon to marry with his daughter. The dragon accepted and almost everyone lived happily forever.
