Narrator: The legend you are about to hear is true 

          Only the needle should be changed to protect the record



St. George: This is the countryside 

            My name is St. George 

            I'm a knight

            Saturday, July 10th. 8:05 pm 

            I was working out of the castle on the nightwatch 

            when a call came in from the Chief 

            A dragon had been devouring maidens 

            Homicide. My job: slay him



St. George: You call me, Chief



Chief: Yes, the dragon again, devouring maidens 

       The King's daughter may be next



St. George: Mmm-hmm. You got a lead



Chief: Oh, nothing much to go on. 

       Say, did you take that .45 automatic 

       into the lab to have them check on it



St. George: Yeah. You were right



Chief: I was right



St. George: Yeah. It was a gun

                 

           8:22 pm. I talked to one of the maidens 

                    who had almost been devoured



St. George: Could I talk to you, Ma'am



Maiden: Who are you



St. George: I'm St. George, Ma'am 

           Homicide, Ma'am 

           Want to ask you a few questions, Ma'am 

           I understand you were almost devoured by the dragon, Ma'am 

           Is that right, dragon



Maiden: It was terrible. 

        He breathed fire on me 

        He burned me already



St. George: How can I be sure of that, Ma'am



Maiden: Believe me, I got it straight from the dragon's mouth



St. George: 11:45 pm. I rode over the King's Highway. 

                     I saw a man. Stopped to talk to him

                     Pardon me, Sir
