Her Highness and the Bellboy Page #3

"She will get away and marry a

prince and be happy ever after.

"And then he said, of course, being

eaten by a dragon will not be pleasant,

"but it is the only way I know

to show her how much I love her.

"So one day, out of the castle he

went, and with him was the Princess.

"They had not gone far

when the dragon came.

"Oh, he was

a terrible sight to see.

He breathed flame and smoke.

His teeth were like swords.

"He knocked down mighty oak trees

with one lash of his long, scaly tail.

"Run! Cried the boy

to the Princess.

"Run away and be free!

"With that, he turned

and faced the dragon,

"and he stood there

and laughed at him.

"Ha ha ha! The dragon

stopped. He looked startled.

"No one had ever

laughed at him before.

"The boy walked right up

to the dragon

"and said, scat!

"The dragon turned pale, and he

said, aren't you scared of me?

"No! Said the boy.

"The dragon began to grow smaller.

Aren't you, uh, a little scared of me?

"No! Said the boy, and the

dragon grew still smaller.

"Aren't you

the least bit scared of me?

"No! Said the boy.

You're only a caterpillar!

"And he was. The big,

fierce dragon had shrunk

"till he was only

a little, meek caterpillar.

"And so were his children

and all their children.

"So today,

when you see a caterpillar,

you see only a little dragon,

"but do not be afraid of him.

"Fear makes things big.

Courage makes them small.

"Well, the boy was about

to return back to the castle

"when he looked,

and lo and behold,

"there stood the lovely

Princess, smiling at him.

"Why did you

not run away? He asked.

"Because, said the Princess,

I'd rather be eaten with you

"than to be married to any

other prince in the world.

"But I am no prince, said the boy. I

have no crown, no throne, no treasure.

"Yes, you have, said the

Princess, in your heart,

"and that is

what makes you a real prince.

And she kissed him, and he kissed

her, and they were married."

And they lived

happily ever after.

"And they lived

happily ever after."

Thank you, Jimmy.

Gee, Jimmy, that was beautiful.

It's what you have in your heart

that makes you a prince.

Excuse myself,

please. Shh! Shh!

Hmm... she's pretty.

Hold it.

Thank you.

Hey, the young one's all right.

You said it.

Permit me to welcome

your highness.

It's a very great honor

for the hotel Eden

to have such

a distinguished guest.

Thank you.

Good morning,

countess petronoff.

I hope you had

a pleasant crossing.

Oh, simply perfect. I

was not seasick at all...

For the first

half-hour.

I'm so sorry.

Excuse myself,

please. I am pufi.

I'm so sorry!

Puffy is not what

I am, it's who I am.

My major-domo,

Mr. pufi.
