“Brave knight! Please slay the evil dragon and save our village from the fate of eventual obscurity.”
“I do not believe in dragons, piteous mayor, so I’m afraid I cannot help you with your plight. As for your obscurity, I’d say you won’t have to wait that long.”
“Is that an insult, courageous knight? Dare you wave away the terror that plagues our citizenry?”
“Easily. Do you expect me to deal with that I do not believe in, and therefore cannot see?”
“Cannot? Or will not?”
“Cannot.”
“Oh.”
“Have a nice day, sir, and good luck with that dragon!"
“Hey!”
I was hoping there would be a princess involved somewhere. Hopefully with a sword.
ReplyDeleteDespite the absence of a princess, I thought it was a good story. As I have found is usually the case with your perfect little mini-stories.
