Saint George’s legend
This legend is the story about a hero who saved a
princess and her kingdom from a dragon.
In a far away kingdom, there was a dragon who needed
to eat something every day. The kingdom gave the dragon a lot of animals to
eat. But one day the kingdom ran out of animals. The king decided to have a
draw to find out which person would be eaten by the dragon. It was the
princess!!
Then, Jordi (George) appeared, and you can see what
happened in these videos!
