There are many legends that tell of the extinction of dragons, but only one legend among them speaks of the existence of the knight Emile, a brave knight who was able to finish off the last thousand dragons alone.
Like many others, the knight Emile spent years of his life studying the harsh and evil behavior of the dragons existing in his time. His own conclusions were unique and unusual. He deduced that the dragons lived in a state of constant anger, which created the fire that came from their mouths.
Therefore, when he decided to finish off the dragons and get rid of them, he replaced the traditional weapons and shields used for fighting with something unusual: a basket full of delicious honey. When the first dragon came to eat the knight Emile, he fired a shot in his face.
This shot was so good that it made the dragon laugh completely as the brave knight expected, and this extinguished the dragon’s fire. When the dragon was laughing, the knight Emile offered him the delicious honey. The dragon felt pleasure and refreshment.
After years of the knights having the red honey with the dragons, their mouths calmed for a while. The knight Emile seized the opportunity and offered the first dragon a piece of fruit. The dragons usually didn’t eat fruits or vegetables because the fire of their mouths burned those foods. Therefore, they preferred to eat cattle or humans rather than such soft foods.
When their throats calmed, the first dragon tasted the fresh fruit for the first time. He felt happiness and joy to the point that his terrifying appearance began to change. The matter had started very badly due to the ferocity of the terrifying dragons.
But after only a few days of a new, happy life, the dragon disappeared in one night. All that remained of him was a beautiful butterfly with large colorful wings. Thus the knight Emile only finished off the dragons, using only some good shots and a basket full of delicious honey and fruit.
With his wonderful method, he made the last thousand dragons disappear from existence and take new life in the form of beautiful, delicate butterflies that fly over flowers and delight onlookers with their eternal beauty.
The Moral Value Learned from the Story:
Every ugly and evil thing can be transformed into something beautiful with intelligence and cunning. Violence is not the appropriate means to deal with matters, but gentleness, softness, and patience are the most suitable choice in facing difficulties and problems.
