| The dragon gives you
some tea and chow mein. As he approaches, you notice that he's quite
large and seems to be generating a good deal of body heat. Plus,
he reeks of brimstone, but you're his guest and you don't want to bring
that up if you can avoid it.
"I say," the dragon says. "Would you like that chow mein reheated?" "No," you reply, "it's quite fine the way it is, thank-you." Smoke exudes from his nostrils. His eyes glow red, and then in a harsh voice he bellows: "It really wouldn't be any problem at all to reheat it!" A tongue of flame lances from his mouth straight at the chow mein you have in your hand. You immediately toss the chow mein away -- but the stupid flame just keeps on heading right toward you! |
