Before we get into the story, do you want to know a fun fact? Did you know that in the Middle Ages, a squire was a knight's apprentice or the second step before becoming a knight? Squires would help knights with their equipment, weapons, and help take care of the knight's horse. Pretty cool, huh? Okay, story time. Today, we are going to read, there was an old dragon, who swallowed a knight by Penny Parker Clusterman.

There was an old dragon who swallowed a knight. I don't know why he swallowed the knight. It is not polite. There was an old dragon who swallowed a steed that galloped around at a terrible speed. Oh, how the dragon wished it would stop, that clippity, clippity, clippity clop. He swallowed the steed right after the night,

I don't know why he swallowed the night. It's not polite. There was an old dragon who swallowed a squire, who hollered, that's hot! When the dragon breathed fire! He swallowed the squire to calm the steed that galloped around at a terrible speed. He swallowed the steed right after the night. I don't know why he swallowed the knight.

It's not polite. There was an old dragon who swallowed the knight. A cook, a savory cook, and his recipe book. He swallowed the cook to fatten the squire. He swallowed the squire to calm the steed that galloped around at a terrible speed. He swallowed the steed right after the night. I don't know why he swallowed the night.

It's not polite. There was an old dragon who swallowed a lady. It seemed quite shady he'd swallow a lady. He swallowed the lady to rule the cook. rule the cook. He swallowed the cook to fatten the squire. He swallowed the squire to calm the steed that galloped around at a terrible speed. He swallowed the steed right after the night. I don't know why he swallowed the knight. It's not polite. There was an old dragon who swallowed a castle. Swallowed it down to the last golden tassel.

He swallowed the castle to hold the lady. He swallowed the lady to rule the cook. the cook. He swallowed the cook to fatten the squire. He swallowed the squire to calm the steed that galloped around at a terrible speed. He swallowed the steed right after the night. I don't know why he swallowed the night. It's not polite. There was an old dragon who swallowed a moat, guzzled and gulped it right down his throat. With all of that water, he started to bloat, and that's when the dragon roared, and I quote, Okay, enough! I've had enough! More than enough of swallowing stuff. Maybe I've been a tad impolite. Perchance I should only have swallowed the night.

So he burped out the moat that had caused him to bloat. He burped out the castle along with the tassel. He burped out the lady, who found that quite shady. He burped out the cook and his recipe book. He burped out the squire now blackened with fire. And then, with all the power he could amass, the dragon burped out one last billow of gas. And with terrible speed, he burped out the steed. Clippity, clippity, clippity, clop, clippity, clippity, clippity, clipity, clipity, clipity, stop!
