By Tuesday three nights had arrived. They claimed to be the best. Just show us where this dragon lives will rid you of the past. And in return, we would expect a princely plot of land, a bag of gold, a chest of jewels. Oh, and your daughter's hand? But Daisy shouted to the king. Hang on a minute. Dad. What if we are mistaken? And the dragon isn't bad. These nights are twits. It's plain to see, but I know what to do. If only I weren't in this tower, please let me ride out too. Not a chance. The king replied, it's just not safe. He said princesses are not meant to fight now. Go and sow instead the knights rode out next morning with a noisy trumpet blast. They preened and fluffed their feathers and they boasted to the last the first night was sir daring do. I'm fearless, bold and brave. Just watch me slay the dragon. When I ride into that cave, he galloped up his sword held high and took one look inside. But his legs just turned to jelly. E I want my mum. He cried, sir, muscle-bound was next in line. His armor clanked and clinked. Forget about sir. Daring do he was the weakest link? Look what you need is power and might. And I am just your man. I'll squash that dragon in its cave. It's such a simple plan. You'll be amazed at my great strength. Just watch me throw this boulder out. Oh, no, I can't go on. I've really hurt my shoulder. Those two nights were no good at all, sir. Brain box sneered and scuffed. I've made a foolproof fiendish trap. He whipped the cover off, sir. Brain box tiptoed to the cave. Come out, you fiend. He said, I've got a kitten sandwich on some pumpernickel bread. A jet of smoke came from the cave. He backed towards the trap. The shiny teeth were ready and they bit his bottom. Snap. The king's mouth dropped wide open. Oh, who will save us now? But wait, here comes another night who's sitting on a cow. The people laughed and pointed. That armor is a fright. He's got a book. He's got no sword. He's far too small to fight. Just watch and learn. The knight replied and rode into the cave. The crowd all gasped in horror. Who'd have thought he'd be so brave and then it all went quiet. There was not a single sound. I cannot bear it cried the king and faint it to the ground. The night was gone for ages and everyone got bored. Then just as it was time for tea. The dreadful dragon snored. Then with the dragon sound asleep. The night came from the cave and said, don't worry, we're all safe and gave a cheerful wave. This dragon's just a baby. Come here and take a look. All she wanted was some milk, a cuddle and a book. And as for all you n ka poops you vain and foolish nights with all your noise and silliness, you gave her quite a fright. I know that voice. The king cried out. At least. I think I'm right, Daisy. Is that you my dear? Are you our mystery night? You're right. It's me. The princess said, I know it's a surprise. You said you wouldn't let me out. So I came in this disguise. I know you put me in a tower to keep me safe from harm. But princesses can do much more than courtesy. Dance and charm. Girls are clever, tough and bold and brave and strong and true. We're just as good as boys. You know, we can be heroes too then everybody cheered. Well, that's a turn up for the books. And doesn't it just go to show you mustn't judge on looks much later when Queen Daisy ruled, she kept her dragon friend and as they should in stories, they lived happily the end.
