Once upon a time there was a knight named Sir Boot who lived in a kingdom where everyone wore helmets. One day, as he was riding his trusty steed, he spotted a beautiful princess who had lost her precious ring. Sir Boot offered to help her find it.
He searched high and low, but the ring was nowhere to be found. Just then, a wizard appeared and offered to help. The wizard told Sir Boot that the ring was guarded by a dragon who lived in a nearby castle. Sir Boot put on his helmet, grabbed his sword, and set off for the castle.
Once he arrived, the dragon demanded that Sir Boot give him his belt in exchange for the ring. Sir Boot agreed, but when he went to take off his belt, he realized that it was too tight. He tried to undo it, but it wouldn't budge. Suddenly, the dragon started laughing. "Ha ha ha! You can keep your belt! I was just playing a joke on you."
Sir Boot was relieved and grateful for the dragon's kindness. He put on his trainers, wrapped his scarf around his neck, and rode back to the kingdom to return the ring to the princess. Everyone was so happy that they threw a big party in Sir Boot's honor. And from that day on, Sir Boot was known as the bravest knight in the land.
