  3. St George and the Dragon

  4. St George was a knight and travelled for many miles by land and sea until he came to a country called Libya.

  5. Here he met a hermit who told him that the land was in great distress as it was being ravaged by a scary dragon

  6. Every day the dragon demanded a young girl to eat and now the only girl who was left was the King’s daughter.

  7. The hermit told St George that unless they could find a knight to slay the dragon the princess would be sacrificed the next day.

  8. When St George heard this story he was determined to save the princess. So that night he slept in the hermit’s hut.

  9. Early the next day he set off to the valley where the dragon lived. On the way there he saw the princess being taken to the dragon so he stopped her and told her to go back to the palace.

  10. As soon as the dragon saw him it rushed from its cave, roaring with a sound louder than thunder. Its head was immense and its tail fifty feet long. But St. George was not afraid. He struck the monster with his spear, hoping he would wound it.

  11. The dragon’s scales were too hard and his spear fell into a thousand pieces. The dragon went to bite him with his poisonous teeth but St George had fallen under a magic orange tree which protected him.

  12. He then hit the dragon with his sword but the dragon poured his poison on him and St George’s armour split into two.

  13. Once more St George went to the magic orange tree and refreshed he attacked the dragon again.

  14. This time he struck the dragon under his wing where there were no scales and the dragon fell dead at his feet.

  15. Everyone in the land was very pleased that the dragon was dead. The King was so pleased that he offered St George his daughter’s hand in marriage.

  16. News of St George’s bravery spread throughout the lands and he soon became patron saint of many countries including England.

  17. St George’s day is celebrated in England on April 23rd every year and we remember his defeat of the evil dragon. St George’s flag makes up part of the Union Jack.
