The wizard waves his hands and mutters something in pig Latin and a sword materializes in Fred's hand. He gapes. It's the most magnificent sword he's ever seen: blued steel, a jeweled hilt, and perfectly balanced. If anything can kill the fire drake, it's this.
"This is beautiful!" he exclaims, turning it over. "What does it do?" "Well, it can cut through steel and still slice a tomato. And I know one fella who made an umbrella out of it, and another used it as a chair leg. Of course, I always thought it could be useful for opening cans-" "I meant against the dragon," he says tersely. "Oh, that! Well, it can cut through his scales like paper and is as strong as his teeth and claws. Not much use against fire, but-" Fred nods to him. "Okay, thank you; I'll use it well." He turns back to face the dragon. "Don't go that way!" the wizard says, grabbing his arm. "I know a much better path."
