When Leila the Dragon entered the village, she saw two of her friends, Jake the Dog and Lars the Dog. Jake the Dog had found a flower to sniff that he could reach, and Lars the Dog was racing in circles around the village green.
"Hello," said Leila.
"Hello," replied Jake. Lars jumped back in alarm.
"Oh, it's you, Leila," he said in relief. "Hi!"
Jake the Dog sighed at his friend's jitteriness.
He shook his head. "I'm not sure how I got stuck with him."
"Excuse me, Mr. the Dog," said a passing bicyclist. Jake wiggled out of his way, while Lars jumped back, startled again.
"What will I serve for this dinner?" Leila mused to herself. "I know! I will ask Jake the Dog. He is the oldest and wisest being in the village."
When asked, Jake merely smiled. "Leila, dear," he said, "you may serve whatever you like and would eat yourself. Princess Charming is a lovely human being and will appreciate whatever you choose, and Christopher Charming is a horrible human being who will complain no matter what you serve. So do not choose your menu to please him."
