...Galileo and Alberto did many good deedsagain today. Though it was most tiringto help the old lady on the bridgemove her barrels of hard apple cider,they each got a small barrel as theirreward.The moonlight was unobstructedand beautiful, and the two goodfriends climbed up the high wall that hadbeen built to stave the evil dragon off.Alberto lost the rock-paper-scissors match,so he had to hold the barrel ofcider under the crook of his armas they climbed the ladder."Look, this is the big housethat our chubby chief was so proud of!Doesn't look so big from here, huh?"said Albertoas he looked at the house."You're wrong. That's my home,"said Galileo."The chief's house is that one."Alberto's night vision was not allthat good, and moonlightcould never compare to daylight.If one were to close one's eyes,the light could not be seen at all.He tried a little harder, butcould discern nothing more."But it's also really small,"Galileo continued, "so there'snothing wrong with your statement."Galileo and Alberto were bothrather perceptivepeople. Galileo's reply coveredfor Alberto'sciscomfort regarding his poor vision,while Alberto also lostthe rock-paper-scissors match on purpose,so that he could carrythe cider barrel, becausethe gears under Galileo's ribswere injured."Here's to you."The two friends raised a toastonce Alberto stuffed a corkback into the barrel.The next day, the twogathered everyone in the villageplaza.First, they apologized for the collapseof the anti-dragon wall, and toldall the people that they were preparingto have a talk with the evil dragon."I know it was a lot of work foreveryone to fix that wall, but we'renot that fussed about it anyway,"the chubby chief said, "but are yousure you're not bragging when you sayyou knocked it down yourselves?"Of course, that was not the chief's point.He too was a goodperson. He continued, "Also,it's too dangerousto seek the dragon out.""Don't worry about us."And so, the two best friendsin the whole world departed.The evil dragon trembledbefore Alberto and Galileo.For some reason, the old lady's liquorcould make peoplegrow very, very large.That was how they accidentally squashedthe high walls the previous night.As they gazed down at the ground far below,they more or less understoodhow the dragon thought.No wonder it could accidentallydestroy the village at its feet. Soas long as they couldget the dragon to noticepeople, they could surelycome to an understanding.The two friends thus drankall the remaining magic cider, becomingeven larger than the dragonby a good margin.Reeking of alcohol, they sandwichedthe dragon between them, and drunkenlytried reas█ni█g with it.The drag█n ██riveled up in terror,all of its m███sty and fell auraforever gone, indeed,it even looked kind of pitiful.Alberto attempted to pick dirtoff the scales on the dragon's back,but wound up picking off an entire scale.The dragon sought to flee,But Galileo, fearing that the crisis mightpersist for ten thousand years moreif the misunderstanding was not cleared up,tugged its tail and dragged it right back."To be honest, we've always livedunder your feet, but weare far too small, so you may not have everseen us. Now, we've transformed andbecome *burp* big." Galileo said, "So now,surely, you must knowthat we dwell at your feet."The dragon nodded repeatedly.And thus did the two and the dragonchat all night, and believingthe goal of mutual understandingachieved, the two set offalong the road home.A.A.
