"Oh your majesty," the cook began, "the most huge and terrifying dragon came into our kitchen while
I was preparing things for your birthday dinner."
The Queen continued an angry stare as the cook went on, "He ATE the china, he ATE the crystal, and when he had done all that he ATE the royal golden bowl."
"WHAT?" shouted the Queen. "He ATE my royal golden bowl! "
The Queen took a moment to think and then she commanded, "All right Cook, you and these two friends of yours, just go find that nasty dragon and make him give it all back!"
"NOW!"
"Y y yes your majesty." stammered the cook.
