The Dragon and the Apprentice

CHINESE PROVERB
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff

Kill the dragon, save the girl
He's got a trap down in the world
And you can have her for your bride
But this will cost your life
Love will open with the key
Drenched in blood and suffering
The greatest story ever heard
Kill the dragon, save the girl

J.R.R. TOLKIEN
The Hobbit

H. LEIGHTON DICKSON
Dragon of Ash & Stars
