-Puffy, eat everything on your plate.
-But I am not hungry more.
-But if you will not finish, you will be hungry later.
-Mummy, I am too tired to finish.
-Are you sure?
-Yes.
-Very well, then. Go to play for ten minutes and then go to sleep.
-Can I go to sleep now?
-Now? Why?
-So that you will tell me what happened with the king.
-But you said that you were tired.
-To finish to eat.
-No. If you are tired to eat, you are tired to hear the story.
-No way!
-Yes way!
-No no way.
-Will you finish then eating?
-We-e-e-e-ll, if you ask me this hard, I shall eat. But only because you ask me politely.
-Thank you, Puffy.
-Welcome, mummy.
.
Some time later, after more playing, shouting, teeth brushing and washing, Puffy went to bed.
.
-Mummy, I am ready!
-Coming.
-Quickly please. I want to hear the story. I want to know what happened.
-Here I am. Let us continue.
| The King Peter woke early. It was difficult to sleep late when your kingdom was taken by somebody else.
| He lay there and thought about his Queen and his daughter Beauty. What happened to them?
| -Peter,
| -Yes, Johny the dragon.
| -Ow. Call me just Johny.
| -Very well, Johny. What did you want?
| -Have you any plan how to take back your kingdom?
| -As the matter of fact, no.
| -Because, I thought for a while. Do you want to hear?
| -Of course.
| -Dan, do you hear too?
| -Of course, Johny boy.
| -So. It goes like this. We fly to the town. I breathe some fire on the palace and your neighbour runs out and back to his kingdom.
| -I didn't hear such a dumb suggestion from the time my Queen said she wants to have a democracy in our kingdom.
| -Do not be that harsh!
| -Dan, let the dragon do his job of men eating instead of thinking.
| -Well, Peter, he could begin eating men just now. Beginning with the king. What do you think?
| -Sorry, Johny. It is a good idea. But it could not work in circumstances.
| -Why?
| -Because you could burn my wife and my daughter.
| -Didn't think about it. So what do we do?
| -I could call him to a combat.
| -Doing what, Peter?
| -I am good with my sword.
| -Yes? What sword?
| -Oops. It seems that I have forgotten it at home. I remember that I put in on the chair. It has stayed there.
| -Yes. And you went to kill the dragon, while your sword is at home.
| -Well, sometimes I DO forget things.
| -Sometimes, Peter?
| -Yes. Sometimes- and the king stamped his foot.
| -I believe you. Just be calm!
| -So, have you any proposition, Dan?
| -Yes. I think that we could enter the kingdom in secrecy and catch your neighbour unprepared.
| -And what?
| -We will throw him back to his kingdom.
| -At least we can try it.
| -Phone to your wife and say to her to be quiet about your return.
| -But if I ask her to keep it secrete, it is the surest way that everybody will know about it immediately.
| -Then say her that we come from the south. And say that she will keep it in secrete.
| -But then everybody will know it, I said you!
| -I hope.
| -Yes?
| -We will come from the west.
| -Ha ha. That is good. They won't think that we will come from there. This will be a surprise.
| -Yes, Peter. It will be a surprise.
| And all three went in the direction of the Peter kingdom.
-I think, Puffy, that while they go, you could sleep.
-And tomorrow they will come to the kingdom?
-Yes. Tomorrow
