Arranged for broadcasting as a dialogue story
Produced by David Davis
' They set off up the hill arm-in-arm, the saint, the dragon, and the boy. The lights in the village began to go out, but there were stars and a late moon. Snatches of an old song were blown back on the night breeze. I can't be certain which of them was singing, but I think it was the dragon.'
