An ancient legend foretold that one day a dragon would emerge from the mountaintop raining fire on the village. The wise old man promised that judgement could be temporarily postponed if they continued to send offerings of ale, bread and meat. So he stayed fed in the midst of famine.
I'm not a big fan of politicians. I know a guy who actually seems like a good politician but I still wouldn't blindly agree to vote for him if the opportunity ever arose. I've seen too many cases of political leaders and those in their circle living it up while they try to convince the rest of the country to make sacrifices for the greater good. Perhaps it's made me a bit cynical.
In any case, this story's random word was 'dragon'.
