ST. GEORGE AND TILE DRAGON.
"St. George for m.erree England
used to be the 'British battle cry •
;
olden days, and • every English chi
knows the story of St. George, the pat
ron saint of England,. and the fierce,
.dragon.
• In the great lake that lay near/e,
the beautiful Libyan city, thiLdr,k7.•,,
lay laid, and he cake nut at tinies
burning tip the people with his fiery
breath, a.n.d there were none .that were
brave enough to fight with
Every day they gave him two sheep
to keep him from destroying the city,
and when the sheep were gone' he made
them east lots which of them should
bring him their sons and daughters to
be eaten.
Many' of the pretty Libyan children -
had been eaten, and the city was al-
ready filled with the cries of poor
mothers when, the lot fell upon the
King's daughter. All the people were
mourning for her whe.n St. George-
esmo by and. asked what it, all meant..
The beautiful Princess told.' him to
mount bis horse and. run .away lest he
too should be eaten. by the fierce dra-
gon, but he turned his bor'se'S head in-
stead toward the lake, and went with
the Mourning procession that led the
beautiful Princess to be givon to the
monster. Then • When the., dragon's
great head was raised from the lake
St.' George poised Ids lance and. went
to meet It as it cams to the shore fox
the Princess. Forth from the mouth
„of the hideous beast came gxeatflamet
of fire, but St. George was not afraid;
ansi bravery charged forward, driving
nis lance right into its side' so that
it was wounded almost to death.
Then St. George told the Princess te
east her girdle around its deck, and
the timid Princess given courage by
the smile of the brave man did as he
told her, and the dragon, noW tamed,
followed her like a dog.
Thus they came back to the palace of
the King, and the day of Mourning
was turned into feasting.
