Narrative Text : The Kingdom of Tarania

Long, long a go, a terrible dragon came to the kingdom of Tarania. It carried away the princess

“Oh, oh, oh save my princess, “the king Tarania shouted. “Who can save Princess Tara?”

“I can save princess Tara. I’m the bravest knight in your kingdom”, Prince Gregor said proudly

“I can save her too, but I’m the poorest boy in your kingdom”, Thomas said humbly.

“You? Ha..ha..ha..,” Prince Gregor laughed loudly. “How can you save the princess? You have no soldiers and no swords.” “I’ll save the princess, beggar boy.”

Ready! Get set! Charge! The terrible dragon roared! Prince Gregor and his soldiers ran away. But Thomas did not run away. He opened his basket, and took out a ladder, a flute, a rope, piece of meat, a spear, and a blanket. Then Thomas ran into the cave and saved princess Tara.
