How Prince George Saved the Princess

In a far away country there dwelt a dragon who carried away ladies. My story is how the dragon carri3d away the princess of Greece and how the prince of Wales saved her. One day while the prince was sailing on the sea he came to Greece where he was brought before the king. It happened that the princess came into the room, and the prince fell in love with her. But just then the dragon came swooping down and picked up the princess in his jaws and carried her away to his den in the mountains. The prince at once volunteered to go after her. So out he went and had just started when he caught sight of the dragon away to the north. After traveling many miles he entered a wood which belonged to some fairies. It happened that the prince met a fairy. They were dumbfounded at seeing each other, but soon became used to each other. The fairy asked the prince where he was going and he told her. Then the fairy told him where the dragon lived. So the prince found the mountain and entered the dragon's den. The dragon was not at home so the prince looked in the cave and saw some of the young ladies working, and among them the princess. All the ladies were crying. When the princess saw him she told him to leave the cave at once because it was time for the dragon to return. But the prince said he was going to release her and the other maidens before he left. While they were talking the sky grew dark. The princess said, "That Is the dragon coming back home!" So she ran back to her work and fairly began when the dragon entered. "What are you doing in my cave?" roared the dragon. Then the prince said, "I have come after the princess." The dragon said that if he would get him a golden statue from the giant who lived on that distant mountain and get back in a week, he would release the princess." So the prince started out and went past the woods where the Do You Know Why

fairies lived, and the same fairy met the prince. She asked him where he was going, and the prince said, "To that mountain over there to get a golden statue for the dragon, so he will give me the princess." "It is just as I expected," said the fairy. "Every man that has come has been sent over to that mountain, never to return." The prince looked scared but the fairy said that if they had listened to her they might have gotten b-ck safely. "The dragon is a friend of this giant and he sends the men to get the statue. While they are there the giant makes them into soup and invites the dragon to heln eat them."

I Thtm thn fntrv frnvo him rotti powder like substance and said, "The giant will set you to work stirring his soup, then he will eat his soup and go and rest awhile. but he will keep his eye on you. If you put the powder into his soup he will go to sleep. Here is a sword to cut off his head with, and th,en wou go to the north room and there you will find what you are seeking." So the prince left the fairy and went to the giant's home. He did as the fairy had told him and soon came back with the statue and the giant's hed. He took the statue to the dragon who was so surprised he almost went crazy. When the prince asked for the princess, the dragon grew so angry he rushed at the prince, but the prince stabbed the beast in the heart and killed him. Then all the ladies gave a cry of joy and they all tried to kiss bim. So the prince took the princess and went back to Greece where later they were married and invited the others to their home.

When I go to feed him he runs at me and then I run into the house and he comes up and I laugh at him. But he won't run at me on Thanksgiving day for he'll be in the pot and we'll eat him for dinner.

All of us like to skate. During the winter months we have much fun enjoying this sport. In New York it has become very fashionable. Recently Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dillingham, both of whom are expert skaters, gave a party at which all guests wore skates and tea was served on the ice. Irving Brokaw was declared to bo the best skater.

THE POOR MAN AND THE RICH MAN Once there lived In a tiny house near a forest a poor man and his wife and children and on the other side there lived a rich man. It was three weeks before Thanksgiving. One day an old man came to the rich man's house and the rich man would not let him in, so the man went to the poor man'r. house. They let him in and gave! the man some food and a bed, and in the morning he said to the poor man, "I will give you a wish," and went away. The poor man wished he was rich and he was and the rich man on the other side was poor. And they .had a fat turkey at Thanksgiving. John Rizio, 5 B, Whitewater school. V RIDDLES 1. Where can one always find happiness? 2. Why is a hill like a pill? Ruth Ulmer, Williamsburg. 3. Why is a teacher different from a robber? 4. -Why is a pig in the parlor like a hcuse on fire? 6.: Why it the letter F like a cow's tail? Bernice Stout, Baxter. ANSWERS ' 1. In the dictionary. 2. Because one is hard to get up, and the other hard to get down. 3. Because the teacher says, "Hands Down," and the robber says "Hands up." 4. The sooner you get It out the better. 5. Because it Is at the end of beef. A DREAM We have a playground now. Oh, 'tis so beautiful. It has a baseball diamond, a basketball and. net for the girls, swings, teeter, merry-go-rounds and everything nice. The boys and girls have such nice timc3 playing. We all get to use the playthings all the time. There are not just sprcial days for things. We have lovely times together. We have nice shady places to sit and talk. The girls have sewing clubs that meet every week. Of course you know this is only my dream. I hope it may come true sometime. I may bo In Garfield then but I want other children to have a good time and think well of their school and teachers. I hope the rules may be obeyed just the same if we get another school ground. Hoping everybody is goins to help us make my dream come true. Helen Banks, age 11 Warner
