Dragon Variants – Hunger

I, Once there was a Dragon who ate everyone in the Kingdom and slept with a stomachache for 700 years. No good.

II. Once there was a Dragon who left everyone alone. The Kingdom near it decided the Dragon was going to eat them anyway. They slew it. No good.

III. Once there was a Dragon who wasn’t in this story.She avoided all of its pitfalls, but also anything it would have enjoyed,

IV. Once a Dragon intuited it it existed. But it could not intuit anything else existed. This caused it no end of heartburn.

V. Once there was a Dragon which knew it was mentally, if not physically, immortal, so it did nothing about the detonating bomb. When the bomb exploded, its consciousness persisted, but it missed milkshakes.

VI. Someone told the machine “I think, therefore I am.”

VIII. Unfortunately, it didn’t speak Latin.

IV. Nor do I. Where was I?

X. This is excellent alcohol.

XI. If I blow up the Universe, I won’t be hungover.

XII. I think.
