Sigh. The LINEUP is endless outside my DUGOUT. Kings wanting a loan, townsfolk paying the fee, blacksmiths wanting to STRIKE their hammers to make me yet another gold necklace. At the front, a young man gives me a sales PITCH. He tells me, "Ma'am, I am very pleased to see you are just as beautiful as ever..." "Skip the WINDUP, and state your needs" I growl. "Well I am holding a BALL for my young daughter, and I was wondering if you could lend me a gold PLATE. I only have 12 and need 13 to be precise. I want to invite the wise women and..." I shut him up by throwing him the plates. I want to hurry this up so that I can go to sleep. Or even better, fly away to a new cave. These humans are so annoying. I try not to SLUMP- a dragon must always have good posture- and listen to the next person on how he made an ERROR and thought he had more money than he did. I burn him to a crisp. you must never let them cheat you like that. Oh. Next person. It's a girl. Apparently, she doesn't want to marry someone. Hmmm. I tell her she can stay with me like she wants. I never BALK, even if the fiance is a maniac. Besides, she would be friends with all the other maidens who stay with me. All these men think they will SCORE a CATCH and not thinking about the girl they just put a DIAMOND on. Utterly annoying. If he does come, he will learn that he is no great mountain, but just a tiny MOUND that I will step on. Plus, she apparently makes a mean pancake BATTER, so she's definitely welcome. I love pancakes.
