Bella stood at the gate of the castle when the dragon arrived.
"May I help you?" Bella asked.
"Go away，little girl，" the dragon shouted. "I have a message for the people."
"They are all busy，" Bella said. "You'll have to give the message to me."
"Take out your gold，" he roared. "Or this castle will be destroyed(摧毁)."
Bella cupped her hand under her chin. "Gold?" she said.

The following week，the dragon was back while Bella was enjoying afternoon tea on the balcony.
"Hello!" She waved. "How about having afternoon tea together?"
The dragon thumped his tail against the castle wall. "No more ! I'm here for the princess."
"The princess!" Bella cried. "What would you do with her?"
"Lock her in my cave and her screams，" the dragon shouted.
"A cave! Does it have bats? What about Stalagmites?" Bella asked .
"Stalag—what?"
"Pointy rocks：some pointing up，the others hanging down."
"Well，actually，yes. We have those，" the dragon admitted.
"Then what are you for?" Bella said. "Let's together. I bet I can find all kinds of things to show you in a cave."
The dragon's jaw dropped to his toenails. "You? You're the princess?"
Princess Bella nodded，smiling.
"Um… sorry，" he said. "Another time，maybe." Then the dragon flew away as fast as possible.
