The story of a young maiden, in a tower, guarded by an enchanted dragon. Only this time the maiden is not held against her will. The dragon, defends, protects, and provides for her, "For dragons are well known to be great protectors, and their strength is especially fierce when they are protecting their treasure."
A pompous knight attempts to claim the maiden as his prize, and the dragon defeats him, as he has numerous times before. Then a young, humble, knight appears. The young knight asks for the ability to treasure the maiden, just as the dragon has these many years. This causes the dragon's true form to be revealed, and we discover that the dragon is actually her father who had placed a spell on himself in order to protect his daughter.
The young knight is then given the hand of the maiden and they live "happily ever after."
