Once upon a time there was a dashing Prince. Good looking in a mildly inbred way.
One day the Prince decided to go forth from his proud castle out into the world!
He packed his bags with everything he would need, armed himself and leapt upon his mighty white charger! (Well actually he had to get a leg up, he needed a tad bit more exercise then he was getting but the position of prince does require a lot of office work, and he vowed to renew his gym contract the moment he got back.)
Letting forth a resounding yell, the wrought iron gates were opened and off he rode!
The Prince traveled for a long time, through hills and ditches. (Sometimes falling into the ditches when he wasn't looking but since no one else saw, it didn't count.)
Suddenly, turning a convenient corner, into the forest, the Prince came before a mighty dragon!
"Prince!" snorted the dragon, "I knew you'd come!"
"Of course!" yelled our bandy legged hero, "prepare yourself!"
The Prince withdrew his weapon, the sharpest dagger in the land, and with a flourish, cut free the bags that were on either side of his noble, if already bored, steed!
"Over here!" snarled the dragon, as it leapt into a clearing within the trees!
The Prince chased after, understanding that this would be the perfect place! The perfect setting!
With yet another flourish (Royalty like the added glamour), he tossed one of the bags at the dragon, which hit the mighty beast square in the head!
The dragon turned to him, eyes blazing and yelled, "Now why did you do that? Ouch man! I'm going to have a bruise!"
"Sorry!" said the Prince sheepishly, "You know me terrible aim and what what, shall we set up then?"
Working together the Prince and the dragon managed to get their entire picnic set up in next to no time.
"Care for a sausage?" asked the Prince, spearing one of the fat little goodies with his dagger.
"Don't mind if I do! Try the honey bread Highness, it's like, totally to die for!"
And the two spent the rest of the day, eating good food and enjoying each others company.
THE END
