Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Eldersky, there lived a clever and kind princess named [Mira](3V9WKJNP). She loved exploring the forests, reading books, and learning about the world beyond the castle.

One sunny morning, a ferocious dragon soared over the castle walls, roaring flames. It burned [Mira](3V9WKJNP)'s room, destroyed her clothes, and snatched Prince [Theo](YF4GCSK2), carrying him to a faraway mountain.

Everyone panicked—knights fainted and wizards hid—but Princess [Mira](3V9WKJNP) stood tall. She put on her boots, tied a potato sack around herself, and packed a satchel with berries, cheese, and a book of riddles.

Bravely, [Mira](3V9WKJNP) followed the dragon's scorched footprints, crossing dense forests, wading through rivers, and climbing tall cliffs. Her journey was long but her courage never wavered.

Finally, [Mira](3V9WKJNP) reached the mountain's peak and found the dragon snoring beside a pile of shiny treasures. Quietly, she thought of a clever plan to beat the beast.

[Mira](3V9WKJNP) challenged the dragon, "I bet you can't fly ten laps around this mountain without stopping!" The dragon accepted, roaring in pride, and took off into the skies.

"Impressive," she said. "But I bet you can't burn an entire forest in one breath!" The dragon roared again, using all its firepower—then collapsed in exhaustion.

With the dragon fast asleep, [Mira](3V9WKJNP) snuck past and found Prince [Theo](YF4GCSK2) trapped in a crystal cage. Using a rock, she broke the lock and freed him.

[Theo](YF4GCSK2) grumbled, "You look terrible. What kind of princess wears a potato sack?" [Mira](3V9WKJNP) replied, "The kind who just rescued you from a dragon."

[Mira](3V9WKJNP) walked away, free and proud. She didn't need a crown, a gown, or anyone’s approval to be a hero. Strength and courage came from within.
