The princess remembered that she knew tales so she told
the dragon a story to distract him from harming her. He liked
listening to her stories so she got another idea. She said she
could tell him a story every night if he did something for her.
She knew that the dragon’s fire could warm the icy castle and
make her family more comfortable.
How did the princess use what she knows
to save herself and solve the castle’s
