Note to recorder:

Thanks in advance for your help. Could you read as clearly as possible, as if you were reading the story to a child. Normal speed. Thanks again.

Once upon a time there was a brave knight called George.
One day he came to a small village and met a man who lived in a cave next to the village.
The hermit told George that a terrible dragon lived in the lake and attacked the village every day.
The villagers didn’t know what to do. First, they gave the dragon all their food, but the dragon just took the food and still attacked the village.
So then the villagers gave the dragon all the animals from their farms. The dragon took all the animals, but continued to attack the villagers.
So then they gave the dragon all their gold. The dragon took all their money, but still was not satisfied.
The king sent his army to try and capture the dragon, but the dragon was too strong and the knights of the army were too scared and they ran away.
Finally, the king sent his only daughter, the princess, to the lake to wait for the dragon.
When George heard this he went as fast as he could to the lake. Just then the dragon jumped out from the lake and was going to eat the princess.
George attacked the dragon. He fought very bravely, won the fight and killed the dragon. George and the princess returned to the village and everyone was very happy that they would have no more problems with the dragon. They lived happily ever after.

I wrote "normal speed" in my first message but as the text is meant to be heard by young learners, I think it would be better if you could read quite slowly though I don't want it to sound too artificial. Thanks for your help.
