Once upon a time, there was a Count who lived in a castle. He loved to ski, cook and jump but he had a problem. He couldn't sing, ride, speak, drive, play, dance, read or skate. One day, the Count decided to go on an adventure to find someone who could teach him all these skills. He searched far and wide until he found a friendly dragon who agreed to help him. The dragon taught the Count how to sing, ride, speak, drive, play, dance, read and skate. The Count was so happy with his new skills that he threw a big party at the castle, inviting all his friends. They danced, sang, played, rode, drove, spoke, read, skated and even cooked together! The Count was finally able to do everything he wanted and he lived happily ever after!
