I heard a story today from a friend about a princes up in a tower that was guarded by a dragon. Then prince charming came on a white horse to save the day. Ok I know this is a new story to you all so try and fallow along. Anyways prince charming came and killed the dragon and saved the princes and they got married and had many kids who also got stuck in towers guarded by dragons….. Ok so I added that last part.
She told me that her friend told this story to her kids and left out the part about the dragon.
Her kids asked her “why couldn’t the princes just get out of the castle herself?”
And the mom just replied “She just couldn’t”
Slaying the dragon and like the climax of this story and the mom kept it out to save her kids from the scariness of the dragon, thinking she was doing her kids some kind of good deed by not letting them know about it.
In our children’s stories, and in our life stories, we need the dragons. We need to share about when the dragons were there and what they did.
We need them there for one reason…..
To show that the dragon can be beaten.
