- Mummy, I know what story you will tell me today.

-Yes? Very well. Tell me.

-The story about the dragon. The story you began yesterday.

-You are right, Puffy. I will continue from that place where the king went to the forest.

- Mummy, why the King went? Why couldn't he ride horse?

-Yes. I have forgotten about it.

| The king saw the forest far away and suddenly understood that he goes.

| -Why should I go, when I can ride? -he asked himself.

| There was no answer to this and he returned to the palace.

| -Trumpp! Trumpp! The king returns home after he killed the dragon - shouted soldiers at the entrance to the palace.

| -Ow no!. I did not kill him yet. I just returned because I do not want to go. It is very far. I want to ride.

| And he went to look for some horse.

| But there were no horses that morning in the palace.

| -What shall I do? It is so far to the forest, - he asked the Queen.

| -Did you learn to ride a bicycle?

| -Yes. Last year you taught me. Don't you remember?

| -Then take my bicycle and go to kill this dreadful dragon.

| -But I want to ride a horse.

| -Do you want that the dragon will eat our daughter until we will find you a horse?

| -Ow no!

| -Then go!

| And the King rode away.

| He did not know to do it well and fell eight times before he decided to return to the palace.

| And once more soldiers at the entrance began to shout: -Trumpp! Trumpp! The king returns home after he killed the dragon.

| -Stop it! I will tell you when to shout, --said the king to them and burst into the palace.

| -Queen! Where is Queen?

| -Why do you shout? Do you want to wake all our servants?

| -Sorry. Look, I cannot ride your bicycle. I fall down all the way.

| -You said that you learned to ride.

| -Then I was wrong. Have you some horse instead?

| -No, but take Beauty's bike.

| -But it is for children! With three wheels!

| -At least you will not fall from it. And now go! Save our daughter!

| And the Queen pushed the King from the palace.

| .

| As the King got closer to the forest, the weather got worse.

| The wind blew, the sun disappeared behind clouds, and the darkness began to close around the King.

| But he was a brave King. Old, but brave. So he continued to ride.

| Some time later, he entered the forest.

| And as by miracle, the weather became calm and the daylight came back.

| The king was happy, because he began to be tired to ride through the wind.

| He took rest under the old huge tree.

| He did not feel how sleep fell on him.

| Suddenly, he felt that something pushed him.

| He opened his right eye - nothing.

| Then he opened his left - nothing.

| He continued to sleep.

| But once more felt pushes.

| The king opened both eyes and sat.

| Turned his head and saw a nice boy looking on him.

| -What do you want child?

| -Mr. King! If you sleep like that, you will have neck pain tomorrow.

| The king put his hand on the neck and felt some pain there.

| -Thank you!. What is your name, child?

| - Leon the Lion, Mr. King.

-What? Mom! Why Leon the king? He is with me in the kindergarten.

-So what? He can be in the story too.

-No. He is my friend.

-So? He will save the princess. Don't you want it?

-No!

-Why?

-He then will marry her.

-And so what?

-I don't want.

-Why?

-If he will marry her, then he won't be my friend.

-I see. Well, then I will change the name.

-Thank you.

| - Lon the Lion, Mr. King.

-Mom! It is the same!

-No. it is different.

-But it sounds the same.

Puffy's mother sighed and continued:

| - Dan the Brave, Mr. King.

-Is it good?

-Thank you, mummy.

| -Dan the brave, remind me to give you a bicycle for you help when I return to the palace.

| -Thank you Mr. King.

-Puffy, I think that is enough for today.

-Mum! Some more!

| -Mr. King, what do you do in this evil forest?

| -Why is it evil, Dan the Brave?

| -Because here lives a dragon.

| -A dragon?

| -Well, maybe THE dragon.

| -Did you see him, Dan the brave?

| -No Mr. King.

| -Dan the brave. I want to ask you something.

| -Yes Mr. King?

| -If I will call you just Dan, will you call me just King? Or even better, call me Peter?

| -I will Mr. King.

| -Peter.

| -I will Peter.

| -Thanks Dan.

-Is it enough now, Puffy?

-Thank you mother. Bend here.

-Why?

-Please bend.

Mother bent and Puffy gave her the strongest kiss.

Then she put her head on the pillow and closed her eyes.
