Beowulf and the Deadly Dragon

[2]During the fifth century, Beowulf was the King of the Geats. He ruled astutely for many years, the people were delighted under his rule. However, there was a certain dreadful deadly dragon, who had built his house in the side of a cave near the kingdom. [5]When a defiant slave sought a place to hide from his master, he went into the cave where he encountered the dragon, he took a golden goblet and left the cave. Unfortunately, since the dragon felt that the presence of the goblet had left him, so he went about burning all the villages with his fire.[1] Beowulf knew that something had to be done about this.

 Beowulf finally made up his mind that he would kill the dragon. He gathered his soldiers and marched to the side of the cave. [2]Upon the start of the fight, all but one especially faithful soldier left. As the fight went on, Beowulf bravely experienced fierce dragon bites. [2]During this, Beowulf, who was bold, had his silver severing sword broken by the wicked dragon. [5]Because he was vulnerable, the dragon caught him in his mouth.

                [4]Teaching the dragon, a lesson was the remaining soldier, who had climbed on its back and had begun ferociously stabbing its throat, whereupon the dragon dropped the King. [3]Fortunately, soon after that the dragon gave up and died and the whole Kingdom was happy, at least for a while, Sadly, the King died after that due to his serious injuries.[3] Thankfully, the other soldier, who had helped fight the dragon, evolved into the new King, and the Kingdom thrived with him. The dragon’s riches became the King’s. Also he upgraded the whole country and the dilapidated capital city became the beautiful Stockholm we know today.[4] Learning, the country flourished and became mighty. While he was their King, the people were seemingly satisfied and satiated.
