-Ay! That's it, I give up, let me go! Well, it hurts! Oh, mommies! You'll break my tail!

“Are you giving up?” asked the knight.

-Oh-oh-oh, yes! I give up!

The knight released the dragon's paw from the painful grip and he sat down, rubbing his shoulder.

“I defeated you in a fair fight,” said the knight.

“But by dishonest means,” the dragon grumbled.

-Doesn't matter. The main thing is that he defeated. Where's my prize?

- Right now, I’ll take it out.

The dragon got up and, limping, went into the cave. After a short time he appeared again, leading the princess by the hand.

-Here. Here's your winnings.

“Are you laughing?” the knight yelled. “What should I do with this woman?” I am a Templar, a servant of the Church! Where is the Holy Grail?

-How should I know?

-Who should know?

The dragon shrugged and groaned when his left side felt painful.

- Well, guy, that's your problem. Are you taking it?

- Fie on you!

The knight swore dirty, collected the scattered weapons, mounted his horse and rode off.

“What if he came for me?” asked the princess.

“Well, then I would bring him the Grail,” the dragon chuckled.
