In a distant land, the town of Silene was terrorized by a fearsome dragon. Demanding tribute, the dragon required daily sacrifices of livestock and, eventually, human lives. The townsfolk, desperate and fearful, turned to Saint George, a courageous knight passing through.
Saint George, mounted on his noble steed, vowed to save the town. As he approached the dragon’s lair, he encountered a princess tied to a stake, the next victim. With a prayer for strength, he charged at the dragon, his lance aimed true. The dragon roared and breathed fire, but George’s faith and armor shielded him.
In a fierce battle, George thrust his lance into the dragon’s heart, mortally wounding the beast. The townspeople, witnessing the miraculous victory, rushed to thank their savior. George did not seek riches or glory; instead, he preached about faith and courage, urging the townspeople to convert and live righteous lives.
