The Mighty Tale of Sir Galenburg

There once was a knight named Sir Galenburg. He was a member of the Triangular Table. He had fought in many wars. He single-handedly destroyed a city and had slain many dragons. It was in the mid-1300s when something terrible happened.

One day Sir Galenburg was on night patrol walking down the street, his candle in one hand and sword in the other. All of a sudden a brick came loose on the road and Sir Galenburg slipped. His candle went out.

Since he was far from the castle he went on walking. In a few minutes he was lost in the woods. He did not recognize this forest so he thought he should find shelter.

Soon he came upon a cave. When he got deeper in the cave he saw light. Sir Galenburg came closer to the light and saw a sleeping twelve-headed lion-dragon. Then the lion-dragon awoke. They battled for hours. Then with a mighty blow of his trusty sword, the lion-dragon yelled and flew away.

Sir Galenburg then saw the king's search party. He was so glad. Sir Galenburg lived happily ever after.
