| The dragon gives you
some tea and rice. 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 rice 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 rice bowl you have in your hand. You immediately toss the rice away -- but the stupid flame just keeps on headiing right toward you! |
