In a far corner of the Island of Serendipity stood the poorest of poor castles. Everything was poor here including the villagers who lived inside. No matter how poor the villagers took the greatest of pride in the baking and selling of muffins. Not just any muffins, but the most delicious, delectable muffins in all the land. Every morning villagers loaded them onto their only wagon and from village to village would sell all the muffins. Things were not good here, but at least they weren't bad. Not bad, that is, until one day there appeared at the castle a great and monstrous dragon. Now, this was not your everyday, run-of-the-mill dragon dragon. This was an enormous, slightly overweight, muffin-munching dragon. With crumbs still on his face from the muffins he'd eaten at the last castle he'd visited, the dragon came waddling down the hill, right up to the drawbridge. From the smell of things, this was a perfect place for a muffin-munching dragon to live. From that day forward he ate all of the muffins and with no muffins to sell the castle folk had no money to buy supplies to bake more muffins. All would have ended here had not they all learned to work together; a delightful tale about simple economics. Ages 5-9.
