There is a cave in the remote mountains. I hear people say that the cave is called, "dragon gold", because there is alot of gold in that cave. There is also a dragon that defends the gold. No one can get the gold. Only the courage of the people standing up to defeat the dragon can get the gold. One night, I took a knife and tiptoed to that cave. When I got there, I heard the dragon snoring. I mustered up enough courage to walk into the cave. I saw the dragon. It was so big and strong. I was a little afraid. Suddenly, I saw the gold beside the dragon. I'm rich, I thought, but just at that time, the dragon woke up. It saw me and started attacking me. I took out the knife and attacked back, too. Finally, I killed the dragon and got the gold. I was finally rich. Henceforth, I became a rich man.
