Sir Jasper, a brave knight, is sent to defeat a fearsome beast in the Whispering Woods. When he finds the beast, a dragon, he discovers it's not fearsome at all, but just wants to play fetch with a giant tree branch. Sir Jasper, confused but amused, plays with the dragon and eventually befriends it. He returns to the village, reporting the beast is no longer a danger, and spends his afternoons playing with his new dragon friend.
