““What if dragons breathed bubbles and purred when they cuddled and giggled at chivalrous knights for their troubles? What if dragons felt soft, having scales made of cloth, and they moved rather slow like a brown-throated sloth? What if dragons were shy and did easily cry when confronted by characters callous and sly? What if dragons did good but were misunderstood so men mercilessly slew the beasts right where they stood? What if dragons aren’t missed because there is no list of extinct types of quarry that now don’t exist?””
