Synopsis[]
12 years old Princess Elizabeth is set to marry her neigbour Prince Ronald, however, her plans to marry him are foiled after a fire-breathing dragon kidnaps the prince, destroying her castle and clothes in the process.
Elizabeth dons a paper bag, the only garment not scorched by the dragon’s fire, and pursues the dragon.
Once there, she tricks the dragon into tiring himself out by pointlessly breathing out fire and flying around the world.
After the dragon falls asleep, Elizabeth rescues Ronald, who is ungrateful and only mocks her appearance before telling her to return when she looks more like a princess. The story ends with Elizabeth rebuking Ronald for his ungratefulness and abandoning him, dancing off into the sunset with the dragon, who she befriended on her way.
