“Help!” Ali cried, waving frantically at the knight “Help!”

“Sorry,” the knight said, looking petrified. “I'm not a real knight you know. I'm just the kitchen boy. Baron Wolfgang asked me to pose for this picture, but I don't know anything about fighting dragons!” And looking very apologetic, he scrambled onto his horse and galloped off, clinging to the horse's mane. “By the way, nice whisk,” he called back over his shoulder to Ali. “Very good quality.”

“Yes, but it's not going to help me stop a dragon, is it?” Ali threw the whisk down in disgust.

The dragon was hovering above Ali and Genie now, shooting flames in their direction. Ali ducked, feeling the ends of her hair singe.

“Quick!” Genie said suddenly. “Get Barry's peppermints out of your backpack!”

Ali stared at her “Genie, this is no time to be thinking about food. We're being attacked by a fire-breathing dragon!”

“Just do it,” Genie insisted.

With shaking fingers, Ali undid the other backpack pocket and pulled out a handful of peppermints. She passed them to Genie, who waited until the dragon opened his mouth to roar again. Then she hurled the mints toward him.

A couple of them landed right in the dragon's mouth. He stopped roaring and looked surprised. There was a faint hiss and all the flames disappeared.

Genie turned to grin at Ali. “See?These mints give you ‘cool, fresh breath'!” she explained, singing the last few words of a jaunty tune. “I saw the commercial while you were at school.”
