Farmer Wins the Dragon's Favor

Butcher Burt Hale tied a pregnant White Dragon. Faye Wood confronted Burt Hale, who demanded fifty taels. Faye Wood offered her mother's silver bracelets. Villagers contributed forty-seven taels. Faye Wood used her bracelets for the missing three. Burt Hale unlocked the chains. Faye Wood untied the dragon, led it home. That night, the White Dragon laid two eggs, purring in thanks.
