Myths and legends are stories that explain why the world is the way it is. All cultures have them.

These legends often contain strange creatures that do not exist. One such creature is the dragon.

Dragons are mentioned in legends from all over the world― in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The

appearance of dragons differs from country to country. European dragons have wings, but Chinese

and Japanese dragons usually don’t. Chinese dragons are often red, while English dragons are a

green color. In particular, there is one dragon legend that is very well known in England ― the

legend of Saint George and the dragon. Hundreds of years ago, there was a dragon with huge wings

and strong claws. It breathed flames and poisonous smoke from its enormous nostrils. Every year,

the dragon came to the town. It was given a young girl to eat, to stop it from harming the town. One

year, a young princess was given to the dragon. However, she was able to escape thanks to Saint

George. This brave young man wounded the dragon with his magic sword. After the princess was

safe, George killed the dragon. There are many legends about dragons around the world, so, many

people have speculated that they are real.
