The Parable of Harood and the Dragon

A Story of the Divine Harood Before His Ascension to the Godhead

Charles Adam
Once there was a village that lived in fear of a great and terrible dragon. The dragon had been raiding all the other villages in the area, slaying all who resisted him and taking all their wealth to slake its dragonish greed. The village was prosperous and the villagers knew it was only a matter of time until the great and terrible dragon came to prey on them. And they were real scared.

And thus it was that Harood came into their midst and the people were joyful, for many were the tales of the far wanderer Harood and his great deeds. And Harood saw their plight and said unto them, 'Do not be afraid. I shall rid you of the dragon.' And then Harood said, 'Give unto me all our wealth and goods', and they did.

And thus did Harood depart with all their wealth and goods. And when the Dragon came again and found the town empty of all that it did covet, it ate many villagers, (but they were wicked for they had not been righteous), and then went away, never to return.

And the villagers were joyful for they knew that their village had been saved by the wisdom and glory of Harood!

All Praise to Harood!

    Wasn't expecting the twist about the giving away of all the wealth and goods. Great job! :-)
