Do I look frightening?

Hi I’m a Dragon. Do I look frightening? Well, you should be terrified, because I can breathe fire so hot it would turn you to cinders and ashes in seconds. There’s only one problem, breathing fire all the time gives me terrible indigestion! The only thing that makes it better is a nice cool drink with lots of ice. But ice isn’t always easy to find. Do you know where I could get hold of some?
I collect the most beautiful treasure in the land. I love gold and precious jewels the most but as long as it glitters, I’ll have it. I fly around all day looking for treasure and when I find some I take it back to my lair. I like to lie on top of my huge pile of treasure and read a good book. I like fantasy best, especially stories about foolish knights who try to slay fierce dragons. What a ridiculous idea!
